My Hero Academia Symbol of Hope (DC x MHA)

End of Camp

Kara's eyes widened in shock as Kai held her fist firmly. "Let go of me!" she demanded, struggling to break free. But Kai stood his ground, refusing to yield.

"Kara, stop!" he urged, his voice steady yet pleading. "This isn't you. All For One is a monster! He did this to both of us! He only sees us as experiments!"

Kara's face twisted in anger, and in a sudden burst of rage, she headbutted Kai, shattering her helmet in the process. It fell away, revealing her striking features: blond hair and piercing blue eyes, identical to his. "You don't understand! Once I bring you back to Father, you'll see! you'll understand!"

"Bring me back to him?" Kai scoffed, anger rising in him. "Do you really think that man cares about us? He's the reason we were separated! He manipulated us!"

Kara's expression hardened, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "No! The heroes took you away! They stole you from me!" Her voice trembled with emotion. "They promised I would see you again if I cooperated! I did everything they asked, but then you disappeared. And All For One told me that you abandoned me!"

Kai felt a pang of guilt pierce through him, but he quickly pushed it aside. "You have to listen to me, Kara. I didn't remember anything before the heroes rescued me. If I had known they were using you, I would have fought tooth and nail to find you! I refuse to let my only blood family be turned into a weapon for someone like him!"

As Kai's words began to sink in, Kara's fists wavered. But before she could fully respond, a sudden shock coursed through her body, her eyes going blank as a low hum of electricity pulsed through the device embedded in her suit. She staggered, her movements turning rigid, and her gaze grew vacant.

"Kara!" Kai shouted, reaching out to steady her.

But before he could get close, All For One's voice crackled through the comms embedded in her suit, dripping with mockery. "Ah, Subject S. How touching, this little reunion of yours. And your sister—so easy to manipulate. She actually believed that you abandoned her."

Kai's fists clenched, and his eyes burned with rage, a fiery red gleam intensifying within them. "You twisted monster! I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done!"

Kara, now fully under All For One's control, lashed out with merciless precision, striking Kai with an unnatural strength that sent him sprawling across the ground. Before he could regain his footing, she advanced, her face devoid of emotion yet tears streaking down her cheeks as if part of her was fighting the control.

Kai was brought to his knees as the other villains, Dabi, Toga, Mr. Compress, and Twice, gathered around, watching the scene with a mix of amusement and indifference. From a nearby spot, Izuku, Shōji, and Todoroki approached, their expressions filled with worry and urgency.

Suddenly, Mr. Compress activated his Quirk, releasing Bakugo, who, disoriented and furious, tried to fight back. But before he could fully react, a swirling purple portal opened beside him, courtesy of Kurogiri, pulling Bakugo in.

"Bakugo!" Izuku shouted, lunging forward in a desperate attempt to reach him.

But Bakugo looked back at him with a fierce resolve. "Don't come after me, Deku! Stay back!" He barely managed to finish his words before he was pulled fully into the portal, disappearing from sight.

With one last, anguished look at Kai, Kara allowed herself to be dragged toward the portal as well, though her tear-streaked face betrayed the inner turmoil she was fighting. Kai's chest clenched painfully at the sight of his sister, so close yet so far, forced to play the puppet for All For One.

As the portal closed, the silence that followed was heavy with shock and despair. Izuku stumbled forward, reaching out to where Bakugo had disappeared, but his legs gave out beneath him. He sank to the ground, clutching at the dirt as if he could somehow pull his friend back. His face twisted in a mix of rage and sorrow.
