Chapter 53

KATSUKI POV

Jet Fuel's taunts were muffled in Katsuki's ears as he struggled to regain his bearings. Pain coursed through him, like a sledgehammer to the gut. Coughing and gagging, he fought to get the water out of his lungs, his chest burning like a bitch. His vision was a blur when he felt someone grab him by the chin, yanking him up so his neck screamed in protest. Pain radiated. Everywhere.

Then that twisted voice. "Ready to watch your precious hero die?" Jet Fuel sneered like he was putting on a show for some sick audience, probably talking to someone else.

Katsuki wanted to tell him to shove it, but his throat was not only raw, God, his body felt like it was on fire. He heard another voice, low, dangerous, a familiar voice promising pain.

"Release him," they growled, their words dripping with an icy fury. "Or I swear, I will bring hell upon you and everyone here in this room. I will paint these walls with the echoes of your screams."

Jet Fuel scoffed above him. Katsuki's vision cleared just enough for him to witness what was going on, his eyes darted to the left and he paled, a surge of raw power began coursing through Izuku's body. The very foundations of their surroundings shook, and the restraint around Izuku's neck strained and groaned, the metal warping under the immense pressure. One For All crackled and surged, casting a menacing glow that made Katsuki's stomach churn.

Jet Fuel just laughed, that delirious laugh, mocking Izuku's power and dismissing him as a pawn in All For One's grand plan. The Villain's grip on Katsuki's throat tightened. It felt like the bastard was trying to rip his head off.

Panic clawed at the edges of Katsuki's mind as he realized Jet Fuel was going for the kill, intending to snap his neck like a twig.

But then, a scream ripped through the cavern, one that had Katsuki's blood turning to ice. He didn't even need to look to know who it was.

Izuku.

It was a bone-chilling scream, one that filled the whole place with raw power. Katsuki's heart thrummed against his chest as he watched the transformation happen right before his eyes.

Izuku's eyes were like two green stars gone supernova. That power exploded through him like a goddamn force of nature, making the walls shake, and the restraints holding him groan in agony. One For All. The destructive, world-shattering power he'd seen before, but this... This was like a hundred nukes going off at once.

Jet Fuel was still mocking, still thinking he could win, but Katsuki knew. He recognized that look in Izuku's eyes—the same look he had seen in Shigaraki's eyes during that fight all those years ago. It was the unmistakable gaze of a man on the brink of unleashing death upon the world.

In an instant, the restraints holding Izuku shattered with a sharp metallic sound, setting him free. His body erupted with blinding energy; the kind of thing that made Katsuki wish he'd blinked.

Katsuki had to shield his eyes as the explosion of power blinded him. The noise was deafening, like a bomb going off. He could feel the raw force of Izuku's power resonating in his bones, the heat, the fury, and the pure, unadulterated rage. It was like standing next to the sun when it went supernova.
