With Deku facing off against Overhaul, he felt that there was no end to it, as each attack Deku threw at him he kept getting right back up and from doing so he kept getting more angrier and somehow a bit stronger, though Deku still wasn't going to give up not until Overhaul was face down down on the ground and completely beaten and unable to move a single finger. So without any hesitation from Deku, he charged Overhaul who this time did not slam his hands onto the ground to make more protruding spikes, instead he reached out his right hand and broke the tip of one of the protruding spikes which he then crushed into his hands making small rocks which after doing so he looked directly at Deku, who he saw getting closer, so he pulled back his right arm and threw those small rocks out of his hand, yet as soon as those rocks left his touch they suddenly turned into sharp spears which by Deku seeing was completely surprised by this though he kept his focus as he suddenly came to a complete stop as he then extended out his own right arm and pulled back his middle finger where he aimed directly at the incoming spikes, and as they flew closer and closer he took in a deep breath and flicked his finger and shot out a strong pressure of air which breaks through the incoming spike, yet suddenly Deku was pierced through his left shoulder by one of the spears which sent him falling to the ground and landing on his rear where while on the ground he looked over to his shoulder and saw a long and narrow spirit stuck out of his shoulder which by seeing this made him confused as he thought his Delaware smash destroyed all of the incoming spears heading his way.

~Deku~

"B-but how?"

Right as Deku said this, Overhaul begin speaking with grabs his attention as he looked over at him saw that he was slowly approaching.

~Overhaul~

"Confused huh? Well that is understandable, but allow me to explain, I formed those spears to cut through that little air attack of yours, but it seemed some of them weren't able to, well besides one. But that's enough explaining, now just sit there and die."

Saying that, Overhaul had more small rocks in his right hands which made him pull his arm back and prepare to use his quirk once again to form more of his spears, by Deku seeing this he needed to act quickly so he extended out his right arm again and pulled back his middle finger to shoot out another Delaware smash, yet due to the pain in his life shoulder he couldn't focus the aim properly which made his arm move side to side unable to lock onto Overhaul. From Deku unable to focus his aim, Overhaul took this to his advantage as he then began to fleeing his arm while forming those small rocks into spears, yet suddenly right before Overhaul could throw those formed spears out of his hand, he suddenly received a direct punch on the left side of his face which made him dropped his half formed spears on the ground as he then flew a few feet away and as he then hit the ground. After Overhaul that direct punch, Deku was surprised to see another familiar face join this fight.

~Deku~

"Kirishima!?"

With saying his name, Kirishima passes a glance over at Deku as he then smirks at him and does not say a single word, yet soon after doing that he then turns his attention back over at Overhaul who is beginning to get back up to his feet though confused on what exactly hit him, with seeing him get back up, Kirishima rushed at him.

~Overhaul~

"What in the world was that?"

Soon after he said this, Overhaul look ahead where he saw Kirishima who through another punch directly across the left side of Overhaul's face which following that was another punch this time across the right side of his face, yet after those two strong punches it still wasn't enough as Kirishima came in even closer with his right arm lowered and his fist tightly clenched as he then threw a direct uppercut at Overhaul's chin which once again sent him off his feet but this time flying even further than before until eventually hitting the ground and just laid there completely motionless. From Overhaul knocked on to the ground, Kirishima smirked, yet soon after this, Deku called out out his name once again which grabbed his attention which quickly turned around and sees Deku approaching.

~Deku~

"Kirishima!"

Which soon after he called out his name, deku finally reached Kirishima, where he immediately begin speaking to him.

~Deku~

"Kirishima, I'm so glad to see you, how did you know I was here?"

As Deku asked this very question, Kirishima smiles and replies.

~Kirishima~

"I was always here Izuku."

Hearing that along with Kirishima saying Deku's real name, it at first confused him but with a closer look, Deku begin to realize that this wasn't Kirishima at all but instead someone who had been here to actually help him.

~Deku~

"Hi-Himiko?"

Saying that very name, had Kirishima smile even wider as his guest was correct.

~Kirishima (Himiko)~

"That's right, it's me. I drank the vial of blood that Kirishima give me where I then used my quirk to transform into him so I could borrow his physical strength to help you out and to knock down Overhaul."

~Deku~

"I see, but I told you to go."

~Kirishima (Himiko)~

"I know you did, but I couldn't just do that. No matter how many times you tell me, I'll still be by your side fighting, even if it means I have to be someone else to do that."

Hearing these words be said by Kirishima, Deku knew under that face was Himiko, who he knew would say something like that which spark a smile on his face from hearing that. Yet unbeknownst to them, Overhaul was picking himself back up and as he was doing so he noticed Deku and Kirishima (Himiko) who haven't noticed him getting up, so with them not noticing him just yet he took this to his advantage as he then slightly raised his right hand and slammed it against the ground which by doing so once again made protruding spikes head their way, yet with the spikes heading their direction, Deku was the first to take notice as he saw the spikes were now halfway towards them, with seen the specs coming their way, Deku thought about Himiko's safety over his as he suddenly pushed her which as soon as he did the spikes had reached Deku where it then pierced right through Deku's right leg. After being pushed aside and saved, Himiko looked back at Deku where her worst fears came true as there was a spike sticking out of his right leg which, seeing that left Himiko wide-eyed and completely shocked. Yet while Himiko was in shock and Deku was in pain, overhaul had finally got himself back up to his feet where he then broke off a tip of another spike which once again he crushed into his hands making more rocks which have to doing so he didn't bother spare any words as he then looked directly at Deku who was immobilized thanks to the spike of his, not wanting to waste this opportunity, Overhaul throws throws those rocks and uses his quirk to form them into spears which then flew directly towards Deku. Yet with the spears hitting his way, Himiko had took a notice of them, so not wanting to see Deku die or get hurt anymore, she quickly got herself up from the ground where she then stood right in front of Deku to shield him while having arms up covering her face. At that very moment while still transformed as Kirishima, Himiko spoke to herself as this could be the very last heroic thing she could do.

~Himiko's mind~

"You really did your best as a hero, Himiko. I hope Ochako could ever forgive me for what I'm doing, but I bet she would understand, after all I want to protect Deku and everyone else!"

Saying these very words to herself, the spears then hit Himiko head on, but instead of the spears through her, they instead crack on impact which made them crumbled as they fell to the ground, which by Overhaul seeing this it left him shocked of what he saw. But as Himiko was expecting to feel the pain of being pierced by spears yet she did not feel that pain at all which as soon as she lowered her arms and glanced down she was shocked to see that both her arms were completely hardened just like Kirishima's quirk.
