Powerless - A My Hero Academia/ DC Crossover

Chapter 70: Armageddon

Deep within the walls of the Villain Prison Tartarus housed only the worst of the worst. It was aptly named, the prison that held the Titans who were defeated in the War of the Gods, holding the worst that humanity had to offer, those who through their great power would topple and change the very nature of existence, who would by their very presence strike fear into the hearts of all those who were unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

In the very heart of the prison sat a decrepit man in a wheelchair. His face had horrible scars which left him completely blind, with only his mouth, which was twisted up into a wicked smile, remained of the features he once had. He was bound and chained to the chair, with video cameras aligning his cell, armed with heavy repeating rifles which were poised to fire at any moment the man dared to activate his quirk or move in any threatening way possible.

It was close to feeding time, but there had been a great commotion within the prison, he doubted that it would be on time today. Not that it mattered to him. He was kept in the dark about the world outside the prison, but he had a pretty good idea as to what was going on right now. If all was going according to plan, he would soon be free of these shackles.

The commotion began to grow louder as time passed on. He could hear gunfire, shouting and explosions. Though he was blind, he knew that his captors would still be monitoring him, so he dared not activate one of his thermal vision. He had to be patient.

As the minutes continued to crawl, the explosions grew louder, and the ground began to shake beneath him. His smile grew as the trembling grew larger. He knew the sound that was fast approaching him all too well. The sound of the stride of giant footsteps, tearing through the various walls and obstacles, seeking his location.

The sound of shouting, guns and fighting was close now. It was right outside his cell. He could hear the guards being subdued and killed, the cells around him being smashed open. He heard the sound of the cameras around him short circuiting, and he knew it was time. Activating his quirk, he could see the gigantic thermal form of one of his most loyal followers, accompanied by two more signatures that he recognized instantly.

"Gigantomachia," said All For One. "Tala, Luthor. I was expecting you."

"I'm sure you were," said Luthor.

"Has the invasion begun?" Asked All For One.

"It has," said Luthor.

"And Tomura?"

"Dr. Garaki is preparing him for the transformation now," Luthor replied. "The time has finally arrived."

"Good, good," All For One said. His smile grew as Tala used her magic to unshackle him. Soon, he would be free of this prison, he would be reunited with his student and successor, and the heroes would be too busy fighting the Hordes of Apokolips to stop him.

Everything was going according to plan.

Izuku and Togata ran as fast as they could through the UA High campus courtyard. They had to get to the teachers to warn them of what was happening. Hopefully, the League was able to get their message to them, but regardless, it would be clear in a few moments as to what was quickly approaching.

A crowd of students began to form outside the school, staring in awe and shock upwards as the skies began to grow darker as the swarms of Parademons entered their atmosphere. They would be upon them in a matter of minutes. They hoped that the heroes would have enough time to mobilize before it was too late.

"Deku!"

Izuku turned to see Uraraka and his classmates fighting their way through the crowd, trying to get to them. "What's happening?!" She said once they finally reached each other.
