Chapter 54

Vortex dropped Kirishima with a forceful thud, causing him to crumple to the floor, his body motionless and lifeless. Katsuki couldn't hold back, and his voice tore through the air.

"NO!" It was a gut-wrenching, primal scream, the kind that clawed its way out of his throat, raw with torment, laced with the guilt that gripped him like a vice.

The one person who truly understood Katsuki, other than Izuku, was now gone. The one person who Katsuki trusted with his life, gone. It wasn't just Kirishima he had on his conscience, but Shinsou too. Two lives, gone, all because he couldn't wait to barrel into the hideout looking for Izuku, all because he needed to save Izuku.

The weight of that loss slammed onto Katsuki, threatened to shatter his spirit, left him frozen in place, smothered by grief and horror. In the distance, he heard Izuku's frantic screams, but they were nothing more than background noise, overshadowed by the colossal pain that consumed him.

He sprawled on the cold, merciless ground, body aching, head spinning. The world around him blurred into an indistinct haze, leaving only one haunting image seared into his mind —Kirishima's lifeless form. Every fiber of his being throbbed with a deep, searing ache, making it a struggle just to suck in a breath, as though his own grief was suffocating him from the inside ou

As Katsuki lay there, motionless and lost, the trio of villains closed in on Izuku. Despite his own shock, Izuku refused to surrender.  With limited vision, he fought back against the relentless assault, channeling every ounce of his remaining strength into the battle.  His body was already pushed beyond its limits, burning under the weight of pain and exhaustion,  but Izuku dug deep dredging whatever he could scrap together. But this villain combo, specifically tailored by Odd Eye, exploiting Izuku's weaknesses, leaving him at a distinct disadvantage.

Vortex and Knives attacked with calculated precision, their movements a deadly dance of violence. Vortex's quirk, with its ability to drain energy from One For All, weakened Izuku with each passing moment. Despite Izuku's best efforts, he struggled to match the overwhelming strength of the villains.

Vortex's palms glowed with an intense luminosity, the energy he had absorbed from One For All building up within him. The air crackled with the immense power surging through his fingertips, threatening to unleash devastation with each passing moment. A sinister grin etched itself across his face, a chilling omen of the impending destruction he intended to wreak upon Izuku and anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in his path. In a swift motion, Izuku activated Black Whip, Tendrils of inky darkness snaked out, seizing hold of Kirishima's lifeless body with swift and deliberate grace. With a surge of strength, Izuku hurled Kirishima's form toward Katsuki's side, the impact jolting Katsuki out of his daze and grounding him back to the grim reality that surrounded them.

Katsuki's eyes darted from Kirishima's still form to the ongoing battle unfolding before him. The tendrils of Black Whip intertwined with the raw power of Fajin, creating a shield that enveloped Katsuki and Kirishima just before the imminent blast.

The very fabric of their surroundings trembled under the sheer force of the collision, as if the universe itself recoiled in fear of the clash of powers.

The hall erupted into chaos, an explosive symphony of Within the epicenter of the blast, the light was blinding blue, painting the hall with searing intensity. An explosive symphony of destruction and mayhem engulfed the underground chamber. The shockwave tore through the confined space, pulverizing concrete walls and rupturing pipes. Debris and dust choked the labyrinthine passages, while emergency alarms wailed in futile attempts to warn any souls nearby of the impending catastrophe.
