Burnin can't give less of a shit as she yells at civilians to evacuate. Though a few seem agitated at her rough attitude, they follow the others as the rest of Class A and B direct the people out of the city.
As they direct people to the shuttles that will take them out of the city, Shoto notices Izuku clutching his stomach in pain. "Quite slacking off, Deku!" Katsumi yells when she also notices him. Izuku isn't hearing them, however, as a voice deep inside reaches out. "Prepare yourself, Ninth. You don't have much time."
X-Less is shocked to see Shigaraki stand up. 'How, his heart had stopped beating?!' Tomura looks around dazed before speaking, "This area's pretty cold." X-Less reacts, ready to laser him, before Tomura appears before him, grabbing him by the face and decaying him. He grabs the now dead hero's cloak and wraps himself tight before moving on.
As the other heroes escort Garaki to the surface, they notice the lab starting to crumble behind them as the Dr starts laughing maniacally. "Get moving NOW!" Gran Torino yells as he grabs two people and takes off, "Don't touch the cracks if you want to live!" He yells as he passes heroes. 'Since when was he able to decay things he wasn't in direct contact with?'
Ryukyu arrives in her dragon form, yelling for them to jump on. Eraserhead manages to latch on with his capture weapon, but then one of the Nomu leaps up and grabs his leg, all as it's disintegrating. Thinking fast, Crust destroys the arm holding Eraserhead, but is unable to save himself as he sends the others off with a smile.
As he's carried away, Dr. Garaki can't help but admit to Present Mic. "You had us beat, you know. But now Tomura is awake, and everything is about to change." Not stopping at the lab, the decay spreads to the rest of the hospital and the surrounding buildings as several heroes die, though Wash can save a few with his quirk.
Pixie-Bob tries to hold the decay back with her quirk, but has to be saved by Tiger when she's unable to hold it back. Garaki keeps talking as the city starts to crumble, "You heroes have been preparing for this day, only to arrive to witness a miracle. With Tomura's awakening, everything you've built will be turned to dust by his hand, giving us victory."
As the decay reaches the students in the city, Deku charges up 45% of One For All and unleashes a new Ultimate move as the others yell at the people to start running. Despite everything he's doing, Deku is unable to stop the decay as Shoto steps in to try and help, creating a massive ice wall that does nothing to hold it at bay.
As Burnin orders heroes and students to fall back, she tries to get in contact with the hospital team, but no one picks up. Deku uses Blackwhip to help people into a bus before sending it off as they themselves get as far away as they can from the decay that is consuming everything.
Seeing the destruction around him, Tomura notices a machine below him where Garaki had been trying to mass-produce Overhaul's quirk bullets; none survived. He winces as a throbbing pain hits his head, but notices Graki's phone on the ground and picks it up, marveling at the newfound control he has over his quirk.
Thumbing through the contact list, he realizes that the villa must be under attack if he's been woken up so soon, so he calls Gigantomakia. "Bring everyone here, it's time." A roar responds as the line cuts off, as the heroes gather for the attack.
Darkstalker and Avalanche collide in the air as Gigantomakia fights off the remaining heroes while collecting the surviving League members. "I can't hold it for long!" Mt.Lady yells as Avalanche is thrown to the ground, stumbling Gigantomakia as they collide. Mt. Lady releases him, stumbling him more as she moves behind him and strikes the back of his knee.
The ice villain Geten shoves her back before she can do anything as Cementoss throws up a wall to catch her. They all have to throw themselves to the side as a blast of fire scorches the ground. Now on the ground, Darkstalker almost blasted Gigantomakia before Avalanche raked his talons across his face, throwing off his aim as the two rolled across the ground in a frenzy of claws and teeth.
"Now you see why we need to kill him." Stain huffed as Dabi nodded, meeting up with Compress, they asked where Himiko was before she appeared before them, knife covered in blood. With everyone else distracted by the chaos the two dragons are causing, Gigantomakia reaches them and gently picks them up and places them on his back.
As he reaches for Dabi, he holds up a hand. "Wait, I need to find someone before we leave." Makia obliges as Mt.Lady rushes him once again. As she tries to stop him, Dabi and Sceptic hop onto Makia's back as Mt. Lady is slowly pushed back. "I need to go back to Re-Destro," Sceptic said, but Dabi stopped him, "Tomura must already be awake if Makia is moving around." "It's too early, isn't it?" Himiko asks as Dabi shrugs, "At least the heroes haven't noticed us up here yet."
"Wrong." Stain growls as he points his katana. They look and see Avalanche covered in wounds, being held down by Darkstalker. Feeling their gaze, the Nightwing raises its head and glares at them before getting thrown off by a spear of ice from Geten.
"Can we trust Avalanche?" Compress asks as Stain shakes his head. "Nothing can scratch the hide of that monster, even the Ice dragon bleeds. I don't think he can do it." As Dabi nods, "My flames didn't even bother him the one time we faced off, and I'm sure he's gotten stronger since then." "Then what do we do?" Stain sighs and sits down, resting before it's time to fight, "We let them fight, and we reach Tomura. Maybe he can pierce its scales now."
Seeing Gigantomakia walk down the mountain, Re-Destro realizes that Tomura must be awake by now. "Follow the giant! The time for our liberation is now!" With a roar, he punches the ground, sending a shockwave that throws the heroes off balance as the forces of the Paranormal Liberation Front spring into action.
As the heroes are pushed back by Gigantomakia and the villains, Darkstalker is now alone as he faces Avalanche, Geten, and Re-Destro. He roars a challenge as he smashes through an ice wall, slashing at Avalanche. Despite being stronger, Darkstalker is still thrown into the air as Avalanche heaves upwards, but before he can spread his wings, Re-Destro moves in and punches him down the mountain.
"Didn't think he could hurt you," Geten said, looking at Avalanche's many wounds, as the Icewing growls. "I will return them tenfold before the day is done. Hurry, Gigantomakia must reach Tomura, then the trap can be sprung." They move away from the shattered mansion, joining the tide of villains as they all follow behind the mountain-shaking form of Gigantomakia.
"Guys, something huge is coming this way." Earphone jack warns as she retracts her ear jacks. Pro's move to the front as students arrange themselves in the back. In the trees, Midnight and Kamui Woods are doing their best to get close to Gigantomakia's face, unable to hold him back any longer, Mt. Lady is swatted aside as Dabi sends a jet of flames that burns Kamui.
As Midnight notices the villains of Makia's back, huge chunks of rubble appear before her as Compress releases his quirk. She's unable to do anything but watch as the rubble gets bigger and bigger, before a massive black blur slams into the rubble and Gigantomakia, shaking the hill as Midnight is caught out of the air by Emery.
Jiro winces as the ground trembles beneath them. "Something else just landed, big thing." She said as Emery returned with a battered Midnight. As Midnight and Momo start making an anesthetic that might work on Gigantomakia, Kamui Woods is taken to the healers, while the rest prepare for whatever comes first.
As the students set traps and get ready for Makia's arrival, Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods are doing their best to hold him back as Darkstalker gets out of the crater he formed in a rage. Seeing him barreling towards them, Mt.Lady and Kamui disengage as Darkstalker and Gigantomakia start brawling, jostling the League around as they try to help to little avail.
Despite his rage, Darkstalker is slowly pushed back by Makia's sheer physical might as Avalanche arrives, with the PLF in tow. Avalanche slams into him, throwing him off Makia as Geten throws chunks of ice at Mt. Lady and Kamui, forcing them back towards the next defensive line.
Getting to his feet again, Darkstalker hears Momo's mind calling out to him. Once she explains the plan, he takes to the air, waiting for Avalanche to follow as Gigantomakia marches forward into the trap. As Avalanche and Darkstalke resume fighting in the air, Gigantomakia falls into the trap laid by the students, and the fighting momentarily stops as everyone is surprised that Gigantomakia fell into the mud made by Juzo.
It doesn't last as they leap forward, slowly prying open Makia's mouth using Ibara's quirk, just needing to get his mouth open enough to administer the agent. The villains close in the stop them, but they manage to open his mouth a little bit, surging forward to give him the sedative. They're stopped when Gigantomakia breaths in, and blows them away with his exhale.
As Makia starts to rise, Momo detonates the explosive under him, causing him to sink further into the mud as the heroes swarm onto his back. Figuring out the strategy, Mt.Lady jumps on as well, forcing Makia down as she tries to pry his mouth open.
Up in the air, Darkstalker and Avalanche break apart again as they catch their breath. Despite being invulnerable, Darkstalker is getting a bit tired of fighting for so long and is eager to finish off Avalanche so he can go deal with Gigantomakia.
Avalanche doesn't plan on making it easy for him, though. Despite being covered in wounds, they are slowly healing as time goes on. Paired with the combat experience Darkstalker lacks, he's able to hold his own against this animus nightmare of a dragon.
"How pitiful. To see a noble Nightwing allying with mere humans, pathetic." Avalanche sneers as the bloody scratches on his side start to scab over. "Hmph, says the one who let them experiment on him." Darkstalker shoots back as he lunges, claws out, and ready.
Seeing the burned Tomura before him, Endeavor scowls. "No matter how much power you bring out, we will never yield! That is our duty as heroes!" He declares as Tomura scoffs. "Heroes? You heroes only pretend to protect society." Seeing Tomura start to monologue, Endeavor lets him talk as he cools down his body.
"Tell me, 'hero'. How many times have you turned a blind eye when it's inconvenient to help people? How many times have you swept the filth of society under the rug and pretended it wasn't there?" Tomura demands as more heroes gather. "For too long, the trash of society has been coddled by your 'protection'. Drawing in more fake heroes who only exist to spoil this pathetic society."
Tomura gestures to the destruction around them. "All of this is a result of the reckless hero society that YOU perpetrate. This destruction is what happens when the filth of man is cast out and broken, only for it to retaliate." Tomura points at Endeavor and the other heroes as he declares, "This is what makes you Heroes, and what makes me a Villain. Something you fools are incapable of understanding."
Endeavor responds with a blast of fire, which Tomura dodges to his surprise. 'How can he still move?' He wonders as Gran Torino tackles Tomura to the ground. 'His flames are getting weaker; we need to finish this fast.' He observes as he tries to leap away, only for Tomura to snap up and grab his leg, crushing it and slamming the aging hero to the ground.
Gran Torino thinks about his time with Nana Shimura, wondering if they did the right thing by giving up her child, as Tomura slams his fist into his chest, grievously wounding him. Deku screams in agony as he blitzes towards Tomura with Katsumi right behind him. Tomura leaps forward, ignoring them as he shoots towards the injured Eraserhead.
Ryukyu swoops in a clamps her claws around him as Deku grabs Tomura tight with Blackwhip. "I won't forgive you!" He screams as he punches forward. Tomura says the same as he elbows Deku right in the gut. He endures it, channeling all his rage at Tomura into Blackwhip as he keeps him restrained.
Katsumi and Endeavor close in as Tomura breaks his way out of Ryukyu's claws, clutching a few viable Quirk-Destroying bullets in his hand. As Deku fights to keep him restrained, Ryukyu notices what Tomura is carrying and calls out a warning as Deku immediately uses a 100% Wyoming Smash.
Katsumi is able to destroy one of the bullets upon reaching them, but one slips through and shoots straight towards Eraserhead's injured leg. Tomura bites down on Deku's arm as the bullet shoots towards him, with Ryukyu's warning Eraserhead briefly thinks about his time with Eri, before taking his knife, and cutting off his leg before the drug can spread throughout his body.
"He's so freaking cool," Tomura says in wonder as he unleashes a shockwave from his body, throwing everyone off of him as he rushes Eraserhead once again. "I'm ending this stupid game." Tomura grins as he feels Blawkwhip wrap around his leg, but he's already got a grip on Eraserhead's face, digging his fingers in before a pillar of ice slams him into the air, saving Eraserhead.
'So that's the other signature that was chasing those two.' Tomura realises as he sees Shoto arrive. Deku checks and is horrified to see Eraserhead with his eyes closed, forced shut by Tomura as the villain starts to regenerate his body. "As much as you heroes have delayed it, the time for death is now. Game over." Tomura grins.
Back in Jaku City, Ida keeps trying to contact Shoto to no avail. "It's no use, all communications are down in that area," Tsuyu informs him as news reports start coming in of a massive villain crushing cities as they look and see Gigantomakia causing havoc.
"But how is that possible? Did all the heroes sent to the villa really fail?" Ida wonders as Ochako shakes her head, "I don't see how Carter went with them. He's supposed to take care of the giant, remember?" They then freeze as they see Gigantomakia dragging two large black and white shapes. As they get closer, they realize in horror that one of those shapes is Carter.
