28. Until The End..

(Momo POV.)

It's been five days and Shouto hasn't been able to come and visit. He's been busy planning and scouting with Deku and Lemillion and some of the others.. I wish I could be out there with him, but these two take my priority right now.. Looking over to the twins, they're both asleep in the cradles. It's been a week now and I'm finally starting to get the hang of being a mother.

In a few hours I'm finally going to be home. Shouto is super excited and happy about it. He calls me all the time when he has a free minute. I know he misses me, and he's been working hard these last couple of days after learning the truth about Touya... He hasn't brought up any nightmares, but, I can't imagine they'd be gone after discovering he's been out there this whole time...

At our wedding he said they were planning on targeting our agency and everyone there.. I don't know how he feels about Shouto.. From my understanding they weren't close when they were younger.. But he said we were his to take down...

One of the twins stirs in his sleep, catching my attention. If Touya does decide to make a move on us, it'll be up to me to protect them. I've been out of the field for months, I could see them thinking that we'd be an easy target: a rusty Pro who just gave birth to twins.. They can't protect themselves and I don't even want to think about the possibility of him or any others coming for us....

"It's going to be more difficult than I thought to juggle being a Pro and a parent.." I sigh, getting up from the bed and going over to Taiki who's squirming. I gently rock the cradle, hopefully preventing him from waking up. He settles after a few seconds and remains asleep. "You two are so precious..." I mutter, staring down at them.

I remain by the cradle, watching them for a moment before I stand back up. "Now's a good of time as any to get back into shape.. I need to make sure I can keep up with my Quirk and get some muscle back.. Once I'm settled back at home I should start on that.."

(Shouto POV.)

"Do we have any intel on if they're all there or not?"

"Not yet.. Invisible Girl and Vantablack are checking the buildings out. We need to be sure that they're there.. Taking down all of the key members is what this mission is about," Midoriya tells me over the communicators.

"Plus we still haven't seen any sign of Dabi. If he is still out here somewhere he's been doing a great job at hiding," Lemillion adds on.

"Yeah.. Too good of a job.." I mutter, trying to shake my uneasy feelings away.

"Don't worry about anything, Todoroki. We'll get these guys for sure!" Lemillion loudly and excitedly states.

I remain where I am, crouched on a rooftop that's overlooking the building we believe to be one of their possible hideouts.. It's here in Kamino Ward.. One of the last places I would have thought to look if I'm being honest..

I pull my phone out as I sit, checking the time. We've been here for hours now.. I don't work much with Hagakure or Kuroiro, so I don't know how long gathering intel this way takes. Guess I probably won't be able to meet Momo and her parents tonight when they take her home.. It's been days since I've seen her and the twins.. But at least I have a good picture.. The picture Momo sent me is the wallpaper on my phone now. At least this way I still get to see them everyday..

"We need to put an end to these guys soon.." I sigh, shutting my screen off and putting my phone away. "Tonight I'll actually be going home to my family.."

"Hey! I see movement!"

I focus on the building, seeing what looks like fighting through one of the windows. Several of the windows shatter and bricks begin to get smashed from the exterior of the building and fall to the street.

"Everyone move in! Now!"

Hearing Lemillion's order I get to my feet and launch myself from the rooftop. I activate my ice and slide through one of the busted windows, covering my face from the shards of glass as I hit the wall. I stabilize myself and quickly scan the hallway. Before I notice anything, a blade comes slashing at me.

I hold my arm out and cover it in a thick layer of ice, stopping the knife. "Hey! That's unfair!" the Villain pouts.

"Toga," I growl, seeing her standing before me. Before she can make a move, I coat the floor in a sheet of ice while simultaneously erupting fire her way.

She tries to jump back but slips. I take the chance to encapsulate her in ice, making sure she's fully restrained up to her neck. "Who all is here?" I calmly question her, not wanting to give her any satisfaction of how bad their fucking group is pissing me off.

"Wouldn't you like to know, Hero," she replies in a mocking tone.

"I don't have time for this shit," I grumble, seeing she won't talk to me.

Outside I hear sirens blare and tires screeching to a stop. "The police, huh? I'll make sure you won't be getting away this time," I tell her.

I use my ice at the wall, busting it open and freezing the debris before it can fall to the street. I scoop up Toga, and slide down the building with the use of my Quirk. Once on the ground the police surround me and I hand her over, making sure they get her restrained and in the car.

"What's the situation here, Todoroki?" one of the officers asks me.

"We think this is the League's current hide out. We need this area blocked off and evacuated as a precaution," I inform them. "Lemillion, Deku and a few others are inside fighting. This has been a covert operation and we weren't supposed to be making contact yet-"

The ground suddenly starts shaking violently. I stabilize myself, keeping my footing and grabbing the officer beside me, making sure he doesn't fall. The foundation of the building I was just in begins to crumble away, disintegrating to dust. Large cracks spread throughout the street, spiderwebbing and causing destruction to the other buildings around.

"Shit.. Get Toga out of here and call for an evacuation! We need as many Heroes here as we can get!" I shout to the police. "Go now!"

The top portion of the building is beginning to crumble in large chunks, falling towards the street. I run over, using my ice and create a large barrier between the building and street, keeping the rubble from causing unnecessary destruction. The civilians around start to run rather than watch in awe or confusion. The police cars peel out, driving away like I instructed them to. I have a feeling this fight won't end well..

(Momo POV.)

"This can't be happening right now.. Not now..." I mutter, awestruck and staring at the television..

All the news channels are showing the massive fight happening in Kamino right now... Deku and Lemillion are facing off against Shigaraki in a tag team effort.. There's several others at the scene fighting other Villains and performing rescue operations.. The entire area looks like it's been leveled just like it was years ago when All For One was there...

"I can't just sit here and do nothing..."

"Momo..." Mother sets her hand on my shoulder. I came home to their house for the night.. I didn't want to be home alone right now. We came here and turned on the news after hearing about it on the radio.. "We can watch the children for you if you-"

"Thank you.. I need to do this," I say, looking across the room to Taichi and Daichi who are fast asleep in their car seats. "I'm a Hero, and, I can't sit by now that I can help.." I face Mother again, seeing the worry in her eyes. "Promise me you'll look after them if anything happens..."

"Of course, Sweetheart.. Do your best out there.."

Tears begin to form in the corner of my eyes as I walk over to the twins. I crouch down, taking them all in and admiring how perfect and innocent they are. "I love you two," I whisper, leaning down and kissing them each on their foreheads.

I get to my feet, wiping my eyes and feel a fire burning within me. I will come back. I won't let anything happen to my family.. Shouto and I will be back for them. I just need to get to him first..

(Shouto POV.)

This is such a disaster.. I never imagined this is how the day would end.. We weren't supposed to make contact yet.. In the distance, in the middle of the destroyed ward is Shigaraki, Gigantomachia, Deku, and Lemillion.. Nearly five kilometers in diameter have been reduced to dust where they're at, the remaining parts of the area have all been broken and collapsed due to all the other Villains running around...

As much as I want to be out there fighting, I'm on rescue. I can't ignore all the people who've been trapped and injured thanks to this. Screaming and cries for help are the main thing I'm hearing.. There's dozens of us here now, most of us rescuing civilians..

I use my ice to lift a large chunk of cement off the ground, seeing two children trapped down below even more debris and rubble. "Can you guys move?" I ask them, noticing that they don't seem to be trapped under anything.

"Y-yes..."

"Are you able to climb up to me?" I ask, hoping they can. If I go down I could be blindsided by any Villains..

One of them, the bigger of the two assists the smaller one up. He begins to climb slowly, watching his footing and where he places his hands. I reach out, taking his hand. Now that he's in the light a little more I can see blood on his arm and head.

Carefully I help him out so he's by my side. "Wait right here while I get your friend," I tell him calmly.

"He.. He's my brother.."

"Okay," I nod with a small smile, hopefully reassuring him, "I'll get your brother out."

I reenforce my ice before reaching out for his brother. He's already climbed over halfway up. I take his hand, pulling him out of the destruction. "Are you okay?" I ask them both now that they're a little safer.

I kneel down, examining them both, seeing if they're injured and just can't feel it. "We're both fine..." the older one tells me. "This blood isn't ours...."

"Are there any others down there?"

"... N-no one alive..." the smaller one informs me.

Shit.. Okay.. "Alright. I'm going to get you both to safety. We have a triage set up about a kilometer away. Here," I say, turning my back to them, "hop on and I'll get us there quickly."

They both climb onto my back, clinging tightly to my costume. I stand, taking a look around and making sure there's no one else near me who needs assistance. Seems clear.. There's a few other Pros who seem to have nearby areas covered.. I use my Quirk to propel myself across the disaster zone, getting us to the triage in no time at all.

"Here," I say to one of the doctors who showed up on site," they don't seem injured physically, but..."

"Got it," she says, taking the boys by the hands and leading them into a tent.

Gotta get back out there.. There's too much destruction to sit idlely by.. I head towards an area I was close to before, making sure that I didn't pass by anyone. Looks like plenty of the other Pros who specialize in rescue are getting more and more people out..

"I should go and help-"

Suddenly the ground shakes violently again. I stumble, catching my balance just as fire blasts past me. "What the hell?" I turn and see several Nomu... "Shit... This'll be fun..."

They charge me. There's seven of them.. Five white and two black. Gotta take out the light ones first since those ones can't regenerate.. I ignite my hand and blast my flames at them all. All but one evade my attack. I focus my fire on the one I hit, using my ice to skate out of the way of the others who begin their assault on me. Guess I'm no longer on rescue...

I crank up the temperature of my fire, making it blue as I keep blasting the single one. The other Nomu all launch long distant attacks at me. Many of them have elemental Quirks: fire, earth, ice, lightning.. I shield myself with a wall of ice, blocking lightning and ice attacks while I cease my attack in the single Nomu. It's no longer moving.. One down, six to go..

More attacks come flying my way. Fire, sound waves and spikes shoot out from three of them, all combined into one line of attack at me. "Fuck!" I create a barricade between me and them, stopping their attack, and then encapsulate them in ice.

The other three come at me from behind. I swipe my hand back, blasting an explosion of fire out at them. They tumble back, two of them regenerating almost immediately, but the last one trying to counter with water. It's a nice attempt, but my flames are stronger.

Cracks begin to form on the ice where the other three are trapped. I step back and press my hand against the dome, forming spikes on the inside and shooting them all downward. That oughtta do it. Feels like they peirced through. Now it's just me and the two that can regenerate...

One of them sprouts wings while the other one's body begins to grow.. Great.. The one that's now flying punches it's fist at me, its arm stretching out and its fist growing. I dive to the side, blasting my fire from my foot to boost me further away. Its fist cleaves the ground, creating a large shockwave. It uses another Quirk and causes a massive tremor, vibrating the ground and forming spikes out of the concrete.

I make a pillar of ice beneath me, lifting myself up into the air. The giant one smashes its claws against the ice, breaking it apart. Right before it hit, I jumped. My entire left side goes blue as I concentrate the fire in the eyes of the flying one. It screeches, it's horrid voice echoing in a powerful soundwave making me want to cover my ears.. I keep my fire blasting, not giving up until it's dead!

The larger one swings at me as I fall through the air, keeping my fire blasting at the other. I'm able to dodge the large one, it's size is against it now and it's nowhere fast enough to take me on. I grab onto it's arm, coating my hand in ice and making a large claw over my skin. It growls loudly as I latch on, making sure I won't fall. My other arm is starting to burn from my prolonged attack... I can't let up though...

The large Nomu swings its other hand at me in an attempt to crush me like a bug. I focus my fire downward, boosting me up into the air again. Its hand crashes into its arm, snapping the bone. This thing needs to fucking go... Quickly before I attack again, I chill my body with my right side, making sure I won't overheat to finish this fucking thing off!

Seems the flying one is taking a long time to regenerate. Hopefully it's almost dead.. I'll finish it off in a moment..

I land on the giant one, freezing it where I land on its shoulder. It turns its head to face me.. It's got five eyes all rolling around before they focus on me.. These things always creeped me out.. I aim my hand at it, blasting fire at it's eyes. As it flails it's head grabbing at its face, I grab onto its mouth and use everything I have to freeze it from the inside out.

Its movements slow and the ice spreads quickly from within. The temperature around drops but I don't let up. I focus harder, forming spikes from within and penetrating it everywhere I can! Gotta spread the ice even more though.. Freeze it solid!

The Nomu stops moving completely, it's body totally frozen. "Time to end this," I growl as I pull myself up more. I aim my left hand and prepare myself...

I concentrate on making it as hot as I possibly can, then erupt my fire down it's throat. The drastic temperature change causes a massive explosion. The Nomu shatters and implodes. I cover my face as I'm blown backwards from it.. I keep my left side towards the fire as I fall. My vision blurs momentarily as I try and focus on the ground. I aim my right hand out, forming ice and making a large angled slab..

My body hits the ice and I tumble down it, landing on the ground. "Fucking hell... There go my ribs again.." I push myself up, looking to where the enormous Nomu once was.. "Only one left now.." I mumble, weakly getting to my feet and searching for the flyer.

Before I can spot it, I hear it. It screeches an intense noise directly at me. I can feel the vibration of its voice coursing through my entire body as I press my hands over my ears. A wetness begins to drip down my hands and arms from my ears. I drop to one knee, trying to keep my focus on where exactly it's at...

"Come on.. Where is it..?" I growl, forcing myself to stay conscious. "Above maybe..?"

I look up and spot it almost directly above me. Looks like it's burns didn't fully heal.. This one must not have been as advanced as some of the others in the past... Maybe it got overloaded with Quirks instead...

"Whatever.. Time to end you!"

Using my ice, I propel across the ground and out of it's attack. My body feels numb and I can't hear anything but a ringing in my head. I've gotta focus on taking this one out, and then I still won't be done.. Not until the civilians are safe and the Villains are taken down..

The flying Nomu suddenly comes at me with tremendous speed. Must be another Quirk it got. Its mouth opens and begins to separate more, growing several new sharp teeth. It holds its arms out at its sides and from its chest it sprouts two new ones.. I keep moving with my ice, surfing across the open battlefield with it, trying to keep it away from the portions of the disaster where people haven't been rescued yet.. I just gotta keep my distance for just a few seconds longer..

The Nomu uses its screech attack again, aiming directly at me. I change the course of my movement, launching myself up and evading the hit. Instead of hitting me with the attack, the blood curdling sound hits some other Nomu that Red Riot and Real Steel are fighting..

I focus back on the flying one, aiming my hand at it and shooting a stream of fire. It evades like I thought it would and then it swings around, growing a tail and landing a hit on me. It took me by surprise but my body is too numb to register the pain. I grab onto the tail, coating my hand in a large icy claw and dig it into its body. It shrieks and brings its head around, snapping its jaws at me.

Ice spikes shoot up from my right side and pierce its face and part of its wing. Its flight pattern suddenly shifts as the ice rips part of its wing away. I take the chance to let go of it and then scorch it with a concentrated attack. Its body catches fire as it flails, falling back to the ground.

Shit. I didn't realize how high up I got... There's a building nearby.. I aim my body, moving closer to the building that still looks some what intact.. I quickly make a dense ice over my entire right side, attempting to shield my body from anymore damage this will cause. As I reach the building I smash my arm against the concrete, sending rubble and glass flying at my face. My momentum begins to slow the closer and closer I get to the ground. I use my fire, blasting it down to help slow myself.. It's working more and I finally stop, just feet above the ground.

"Fuck," I exhale, ripping my arm from the building.

I drop to the ground, my energy drained from my body.. The ice melts from my right side as the area begins to heat up.. "What now...?" I breath heavily, looking to my left.

The Nomu stands up, one of it's wings completely gone and it's body slowly becoming coated in flames that it's creating... "You've gotta be kidding me.."

I rise to my feet, refusing to stay down, and watching as it inhales deeply, preparing for an attack. Suddenly, an echoing booming sound explodes from behind me and the Nomu gets hit right in the face by something strong enough to take it down. It falls backwards, defeated.

I turn to see who took it out- "Momo..?"

"Shouto!" she exclaims, sliding down the rubble she's on and comes running to me. "I saw you take down that large one and then fall while fighting the flying one!" she says as she reaches me, throwing her arms around my neck.

I embrace her tightly, holding her against my tired body. "Thanks for saving me," I say with a small smile, parting from her and looking into her eyes.

"This fight's far from over though.. Deku is going head to head with Shigaraki, and Lemillion has teamed up with Suneater, and Ground Zero to take out Gigantomachia," she informs me.

"Alright.. Let's leave that fight to them. They're more than capable to take them down," I tell her, letting her go and wincing slightly, now feeling the pain in my ribcage. "We'll focus on rescue and taking down any other Nomu and Villains who try and get in the way."

"Alright. Let's get to work."

(Momo POV.)

It's been over an hour since I showed up on the scene.. Shouto and I rescued nearly two hundred people, just the two of us, while nearly a hundred other Pros and sidekicks from countless agencies showed up to help. This has been the worst disaster in over a decade... It's worse than the Kamino incident or Daika City years back... The damage and destruction here keeps spreading due to the nonstop fighting..

"That should be everyone," Ingenium says as he and his sidekicks bring back a group of injured people to the triage center. "I have sidekicks combing through the area just to be sure, but the other Heroes have reported no more signs of life.. And no one is able to get close to Deku and Shigaraki.." he states while wiping blood from a cut he has on his cheek.

"We still need to help," Shouto says, standing from where he's been sitting and getting his injuries tended to.

"We can't get close," I say to him again, setting my hand on his shoulder, making him stay seated. "Take a breather.. We're on standby for now." He looks at me and than takes my hand, staying seated on the large block of cement.

"Creati," a doctor says from behind me, getting my attention, "could you assist us? We ran out of bandages and polypropylene sutures."

"Of course. I'll be right there." I look over to Shouto and give his hand a squeeze, keeping our relationship professional right now like we always do while out in the field.

I leave Shouto's side and go to assist the doctors, nurses, and other Heroes who have medical specialities. It's been awhile since I've used my Quirk this much in one day, but right now my body is more than capable to create as much as needed. My limit is still a ways off, but I do feel like I've lost some weight today within these past few hours... Once I create what was requested I stay and help wrap wounds and assist with anything else I can.

"Hey! Look!"

Someone shouts and points to a large television that's broadcasting Deku's and Shigaraki's fight. Everyone stops what they're doing and we all watch...

They're both bleeding from their fists, palms, heads, and from various miscellaneous parts all over their bodies. Neither one looks to be in good shape.. Deku yells something to Shigaraki, but the news crew above in the helicopter can't capture what it is that they're saying..

Shigaraki takes a stance, the ground around him crunching inward as his power grows... He touches the ground and an insane wave of power causes a path of destruction towards Deku. He vanishes from sight, reappearing beside Shigaraki, swinging his foot around for an attack. Shigaraki puts his hand up, swatting him away and thrusting his other hand forward. Deku backs off, evading being touched.. Shigaraki places both hands on the ground and creates a large crater in the ground, dropping them both several meters down and out of sight.

"Go! Everyone who can, move out!" someone shouts as we lose sight of them.

Without hesitation I run to Shouto, taking his hand as he gets up. "Come on," I say to him, helping him up. "We're Heroes."

He nods, smiling fiercely at me. "Yeah. Let's get going."

We both run, following after the other Heroes who all are converging on the horrendous, prolonged fight. Everyone reaches the edge of the enormous pit, all looking down and watching. No one dares to go down, for fear of getting in the way of their all out brawl..

"Come on Deku!"

"Beat him!"

"Take him down!!"

"For All Might!"

Everyone starts shouting and cheering him on. Nearly every Hero who's been on site is here, watching and cheering him on. Shouto takes my hand, leaning against me slightly, his eyes locked on the fight. "He'll win... He has to.." he mutters, sounding exhausted.

"He will," I nod, focusing back on our friend. "Come on Deku!"

"Kick his ass!"

"If you don't beat the shit out of him, I will!"

"End it!"

Deku's Hero Costume is nothing but torn pants and his boots now, everything else has been blown away during the course of his endless fighting. He charges Shigaraki in a blur of speed, throwing punches that I can't even register.. He knocks him back then seems to teleport behind him, punching him the other direction, doing it over and over again until he hits him one final time, sending him flying into the side of the pit they're in. The Heroes up top move out of the way as the edge crumbles, sending large chunks of dirt, concrete, and rocks down on top of Shigaraki..

Everyone is silent, waiting and watching, unsure if he's down for good. Deku stands tall, breathing heavily and wiping blood away from his eye.. His body is covered in bruises and cuts, part of his arm has a large hand print with his skin gone and his muscle fibers showing.. His eyes are sharp and locked on where Shigaraki is at, looking on edge and ready to fight in a split second..

The large pile of rubble explodes in a blast of dust, sending the particles scattering across the area. "You think this is over!? It'll never be over!" Shigaraki shouts like a madman. "As long as you Heroes are around, there will always be us you see as Villains!"

"The world needs Heroes to protect it from people like you," Deku replies, balling his hands into fists and rolling his shoulders out. "As long as there's people who fight for justice in the world, there will always be those to shine a light in the dark! This will end now! Once and for all!!"

Deku charges once more, his speed rivaling All Might's.. Shigaraki however holds his hands out, extended full length; his skin begins to tear apart as his power builds.. Everything surrounding him in a three meter radius instantly disintegrates, leaving nothing.. Including Deku's fist..

Deku pulls back, rolling to the side out of the way, holding his arm as blood flows down from where his hand once was.. We all watch as Shigaraki charges him now, with what looks like a protective bubble around him that's obliterating everything that nears him. Deku uses his Black Whip, using it to propel himself above Shigaraki and then to attack. The whips slash against the bubble, shredding apart the second they touch...

Shigaraki merely smiles, aiming his hand out as a wave of energy shoots forth right at Deku. He dodges, jumping up out of the way and aiming his hand at him, flicking a powerful force of wind and pressure at him... The force pushes Shigaraki back, sending him down deeper into the Earth.. Deku then punches his fist forward, making a more powerful attack of what he just had done.

The ground seems to implode as everything caves in. Deku falls, flipping in the air so his feet are below him. He plumets down with a fierce look in his eyes. He smashes into the smaller crater, creating a huge explosion of rock and dust shooting up into the air, hiding everything from sight...

Several of the Heroes around who are able to clear the dust begin to do so. In a matter of minutes the city sized pit is cleared and we all watch as Deku climbs out of the smaller crater where he and Shigaraki were at. He reaches the top, standing on the edge, holding his bleeding arm against his chest and then thrusts his left fist up into the air, signalling his victory..

A/N: I got this one written quicker than I thought I would 😗 I think I got it written well enough too, but I won't know without any feedback 😅

Tell me what ya thought and feel free to drop any ideas for later chapters 😉 I've got some ideas but only a little written so far.
