Breaker of the Mighty

Chapter 16: Nightfall

Aizawa and Shinso were shocked at seeing Todoroki in this place. From what they knew Todoroki was evacuated along with the majority of the people from the city during the early days of Bane's rule, but now he was here and in league with the Joker that made no sense. "Todoroki what are you doing here?" Aizawa asked as he heard a rough chuckle from the young man in front of him as he flipped a coin catching it in midair and smiled.

"Coin says I'm not telling you." He said as he went to release a large blast of ice only to be stopped by Aizawa's quirk his one eye glowing red as Todoroki reached behind him grabbing hold of his Springfield XD and fired off several shots making the heroes scatter into two groups Shinso and Aizawa moving to the white right side of the room and Lemillion and Inasa over to the left red side. Aizawa grit his teeth using his quirk in only one eye took more of a toll than in both and having that on top of the damage the Nomu did his quirk's timing was severely diminished. He blinked and in that moment Todoroki activated his ice creating a large wall to block Aizawa's view, but left him open to an attack by Lemiliion who appeared right in front of him his fist crackling with golden energy as he punched forward. Todoroki created a cloak of flames around himself thinking it would stop Lemillion, but the hero passed through his flames unharmed as his fist slammed into Todoroki's cheek sending him flying back before the dual quirk user created an ice wall to brace himself and opening fire once again his bullets passing harmlessly through Lemillion.

Todoroki growled as he noticed Aizawa scaling his ice wall with his scarf. He ditched the cartridge in his gun replacing it as he rolled to the left avoiding Lemillion as he popped off two shots at the hero who let them pass through him, but failed to notice he had blocked Aizawa's view of Todoroki and therefore was unprepared for the bullets slamming into his leg and shoulder causing him to fall off Todoroki's ice wall almost hitting the ground before Inasa managed to catch him in a wind cushion before placing him on the ground. Inasa turned glaring at Todoroki. Unknown to the others he also knew Todoroki and his father and now just as before he could see that burning hatred that father and son shared and it made him sick. He launched a volley of wind at Todoroki who countered with a stream of flames causing the wind to rise and punch a hole in the ceiling causing debris to rain down on the left side of the field.

Shinso stepped next to Aizawa looking at his teacher's wounds, they weren't fatal or anything, but both knew the implications of what just happened. They were in Overhaul's base and Aizawa had just been shot no doubt with one of Overhaul's quirk killer bullets. It was safe to say Aizawa could no longer cancel out Todoroki's quirk which was bad for their team knowing the explosive power Todoroki wielded. "Shinso use your brainwashing see if you can get him to talk." Aizawa said as he ripped the sleeve off his shirt and tied it tightly around the wound in his leg. Shinso nodded before fiddling with the dials of his mask. Todoroki was on the defensive holding off Inasa's wind with his fire and creating walls of Ice to block Lemillion's vision so he could get out of the way before Lemillion could land another heavy hit. All of a sudden he heard Aizawa's voice calling out to him. "Todoroki stop this, you're not a villain. Tell me what Joker did to you maybe we can help. You were my student it's my responsibility to help you." Todoroki smiled as he pressed a button on his wrist right as Lemillion smashed his fist into the younger boy's side slamming him all the way to the back of the room planting him solidly in the wall. Lemillion was panting a little as he heard a scream. He turned to the right and saw liquid nitrogen spraying from the wall it had sprayed over Shinso as the boy was snatched away from the wall by Aizawa who was taking cover behind one of Todoroki's ice walls.

On the other side Inasa was walking forward before a vent opened under him and flames erupted from it catching the wind user in an inferno. Inasa yelled using his wind to disperse the flames around him, but the damage had already been done as his suit was charred his hair was gone and the exposed skin of his face was a brilliant red and sizzling as he collapsed there on the spot. Lemillion turned around looking to Todoroki only to find him gone through a hidden door. Lemillion raced over towards Inasa before Aizawa shouted. "What are you doing go after him!" The former teacher said as he limped over towards Inasa. "I'll take care of these two, but you need to find Joker. This place was dangerous in Overhaul's hands, but in Joker's hands it's infinitely more so. You need to make sure this place falls under our control no matter what." Lemillion bit his lip before nodding and racing through the secret entrance.
