The memories flooded back as I stared at Chimera, my supposed "brother." The facility where I was tortured, where my body was torn apart and rebuilt through countless experiments. They kidnapped me when I ran away from home, dragging me into a nightmare that I barely survived. They experimented on thirteen of us-twelve others before me, all dead. I was the only one who made it out alive. The only one to escape.
But how...is he alive, Dr kuroki never spoke about him
I clenched my fists, my blood boiling with rage.
Izuku:I remember fighting the biotech fusion warriors-Subject 11 and Subject 12-when I escaped... and I killed Dr. Kuroki. But he survived. How... how could you help the villains? They sponsored that madman!
Chimera smirked, his eyes glowing with amusement.
Chimera:Mind control elixir, little brother. They fed you those pills too, didn't they? But you... you broke out of it. Clearly. Guess I wasn't so lucky.
He shrugged as if the mind control had been nothing more than an inconvenience.
Chimera:Sure, I can do whatever I want with my body... but mind control? That's a whole different ballgame.
His voice darkened as he continued,
Chimera:Whatever. I'm here to stop you... or kill you. I'm still not sure. Just don't disappoint me, little brother.
Without warning, Chimera moved. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of me, his hand morphing into a massive, steel-like claw. The deadly appendage swung toward me with terrifying speed.
He's fast.
"DARK AEGIS!"
I roared, summoning my shield in an instant. The energy-based shield materialized in front of me just as Chimera's monstrous claw slammed into it with a resounding crash. The impact sent a shockwave through the ground beneath us, but my shield held firm.
He grinned-a wild, maniacal grin that sent shivers down my spine. His legs shifted, morphing into grotesque, muscular limbs that resembled those of a beast. His speed increased tenfold as he launched himself at me again, this time with even greater velocity.
"SHADOWSTEPS"
I vanished just as his claw swiped through the space where I had been standing. Reappearing behind him, I swung my fist toward his back, but he twisted his body at an unnatural angle, dodging my blow with ease.
We clashed in rapid succession, moving at blinding speeds. My fists collided with his monstrous limbs, each hit sending a ripple of energy through the air. Chimera countered with brutal swings of his clawed hand, each one carrying enough force to shatter concrete. Every time he struck, I used Shadowsteps to dodge and reposition myself, but his relentless speed and power were overwhelming.
"Phantom Strike!"
I yelled, channeling energy into my limbs. In the span of mere seconds, I launched a barrage of punches and kicks, each one imbued with the raw power of One Above All. My strikes connected with Chimera's body, the impacts causing shockwaves that shattered the ground beneath us.
But he didn't falter. Instead, he grinned wider.
Chimera:Nice try, little brother
he said with a twisted laugh.
Chimera:but I can absorb that.
Before I could react, Chimera's body shimmered with a strange energy. My attacks, which should have left him reeling, were absorbed into his skin. His grin widened as he channeled the energy back into his fist.
