- Chapter 12 -

Your goal was to connect your blade with his arm, as it was the easiest target with your current position. However he wasn't going to be that easy of a mark, Shigaraki just began his debut, he wasn't planning on being defeated so quickly. He swiftly shifted to the side fast enough for you to barely miss him entirely.

Instead, your scythe managed to graze his shoulder, leaving a large gash that gushed blood afterwards. You landed on the ground to rapidly swivel around and fly upwards to attack again in the sky.

You had to be constantly moving, your feet barely if at all gracing the ground, only doing so for extra momentum. You twisted your scythe around your body to perfectly grip it, and flew towards him again to finish the job, however Shigaraki was reaching his arms out to grab your blade.

Your body jerked at the sudden halt in your movement, his hands began to bleed as well as burn, but he had no plan to let you kill him. You pushed harder, but he began to slowly decay your weapon with his quirk.

"You stupid girl, do you think I'll let a little nobody like you kill me? This ends now!"

Shit!

Your weapon then broke like glass, turned into little tiny pieces that rained on the floor. And he now had the perfect opportunity to kill you, being wide open without your scythe separating the two of you now.

But he didn't know, and you were hoping to use his cluelessness for later, but you were going to die if you didn't retaliate. You reached to grip his hands in a wrestling like stance, but in a last minute attempt you retracted your arms.

You instead messily created a shield to block his hands from touching your body. Your arm began to throb at the pressure he put on the shield, as the numbing from your healing quirk began to wear off, you were running out of time.

You always seem to be running out of time.

The loud and strong smack of his hands connecting with your shield burned them even more as a result, and he seethed at the abrupt pain. He retracted his burned hands to quickly inspect them, and glared back at you.

"You PIECE OF TRASH!" He spat out of frustration and pain.

"Since when were you looking at your REFLECTION?!" You retort, maneuvering your position to kick your heeled boot to his face, smacking the hand covering his features off. Thus scrambled to quickly utilize his own burnt hand to cover his face.

You both stood there catching your breaths, your back beginning to grow soar from the jerking back and forth your wings were put through, as well as the injuries they sustained from your tumble earlier.

Shigaraki realized though, that you were going to reach out for him earlier, even though you seemed like you knew what his quirk could do. Why? Did you have a way to be immune to his quirk? You were so frustratingly difficult to figure out.

He shifted his gaze through his hand on the Nomu and the rest of your classmates, who were busy helping All Might take the monster down with the help of your crucial initial attack on its arm.

All Might looks back towards you as well, and you couldn't quite feel his emotions due to your headphones still on Shigaraki, but his smile began to disappear at the sight of you.

You heaved, your lungs were on fire. You weren't strong enough, not yet, your body's limitations were beginning to show. Shigaraki was also at his limit, you could feel his pain, insanity, anger, confusion, and slight fear all at once.

Before you had time to say that you were ok, your legs suddenly gave out and everything began to fade to black around you. Your eyes became dull at the pain that overwhelmed your body and your mind like a tsunami, you could make out the muffled cry of your classmates, but didn't have the willpower to respond.
