CHAPTER 113: The Price of Power
The storm of water churns around you, your breathing steady as mist swirls at your feet. The battlefield is in chaos-Class 1-A struggling against the never-ending swarm of monsters, Izuku pinned down, and Anna, still trapped under Deborah's control, about to strike Giulio down.
You have to act. Now.
A boom echoes from outside as Endeavor creates another massive hole in the fortress. The entire battlefield trembles from the shockwave, causing Anna and Giulio to stumble. Deborah barely maintains her hold.
That moment of instability is all Giulio needs. His robotic eye flickers, scanning the battlefield-locking onto Deborah. His enhanced optics, unaffected by Day Dream's illusions, recognize her immediately.
His prosthetic arm jerks upward-aiming right at her. A built-in firearm clicks, ready to fire.
Click.
Empty.
Deborah's eyes widen before twisting into a mocking sneer.
"Oh, that's adorable," she taunts, her voice thick with cruel amusement. "Out of ammo? What a shame. What can you do now?"
Giulio doesn't answer.
His prosthetic left leg hums.
The hidden mechanism whirs to life-a jet booster ignites beneath him. With a burst of acceleration, he rockets forward.
Deborah's expression shifts from amusement to fear.
Before she can react-
BOOM!
Giulio slams into her with full force, sending them both crashing into the fortress wall. The impact shatters the illusionary tendrils binding Anna, and Deborah slumps, defeated.
But Giulio collapses as well.
"Giulio!" you call out, your body already moving. He's severely wounded, but Anna is finally free.
Outside, the war rages on.
Despite their best efforts, Class 1-A is losing. The fortress monsters keep regenerating, undoing every victory they claim. Their exhaustion is beginning to show.
Then-
Reinforcements arrive.
A roar of flames and a storm of ice tear through the battlefield as Endeavor, Hawks, Mirko, and the pro heroes finally breach the fortress. The tide shifts.
---
At the same time, Katsuki and Shoto arrive, tearing through the battlefield and blasting away Dark Might's golden structures.
"Kacchan! Todoroki!" Izuku's voice breaks through the chaos as two figures rush in.
Katsuki and Shoto tear through the battlefield, making a beeline for Izuku. In a coordinated strike, they break Dark Might's hold, freeing him just as you launch a jet of high-pressure water to keep the villain from retaliating.
The four of you stand together, battle-worn but unwavering.
Dark Might's eyes flick between you all, realization dawning. His lips curl into a smirk. "So this is what All Might's legacy has become."
Then, he makes his move.
Golden energy surges from his hands as he touches Anna once more, drawing from her Quirk's unstable power. His body morphs, his costume shifting into a shining golden form-his 'Golden Age.'
The sheer pressure of his power slams into you like a tidal wave. He feels unstoppable.
Dark Might's voice rings through the battlefield, mockingly echoing All Might's famous words.
