Harper is finally free!! Woohoo!!! Phobos is the man!! And Daina..... has.... well, half a face now. Honestly, I could not wait to do that last chapter, it'd been planned for so long. And finally! FINALLY!! Harper and Phobos advance their relationship! But like they said, it's all gonna be for not if Ryan and them don't stop the nuke. And speaking of them, it's time we move on to what I believe is the most important battle of this arc, even more so then Cry and Markus' battles. They'e been put into a corner for too long and now they get to step back into the spotlight. Now let's get back into the action! Enjoy!


-POV: Third Person-

As some battles come to their dramatic conclusions, others still rage on, looking as if they'll never end. The heroes have currently captured or at the very least defeated 5 villains. However, 6 still remain. But after Phobos' heavy efforts, the villains have now lost a key component to their plan and have lost a major source of leverage. Harper has been recovered. But, with only 5 minutes remaining on the clock, it becomes a wonder if the heroes will be able to emerge victorious at the end of this day. 

-Meanwhile at the Football Stadium-

"32 minutes and the five of you have yet to do a single thing to me. Heroes in training, you make me laugh. The 5 of you are utterly pathetic." Gregory boasted as he still remained standing in front of the nuke, looking totally fine in every way. 

"This guy..... his quirk is.... unbelievable..... we can't..... even get close to him...." Ryan said, completely exhausted as Bruce, Holly, Midareka, and Stella all were in the same boat as he was. 

For over a half an hour, these 5 students have tried to rush, overpower, and overwhelm Gregory using their quirks and natural speed. However, each time they would get close, all Gregory had to do to counter them was take control of all their blood flows and simply push them back. No real damage had been done to one another, but the students had quickly exhausted themselves. 

"Let's see here..... 4 and a half minutes left, kids. I'd suggest you pull out all your marbles quickly. Otherwise, i'll make my swift getaway and all of you will become piles of ashes in the wind." Gregory told them all as each rose up to their feet. 

"We won't stop.... not until the job is done.... not until you're beaten.... we won't lose.... not today.... not ever...." Midareka said to him as she adjusted her Shiketsu cap and cracked her knuckles very loudly.

"Yeah..... Me and some others already took down your buddy in the stadium...... It's only a matter of time before..... before you go down like he did..." Stella said as she wiped sweat off her forehead.

"So, you did manage to best Killer after all, eh? Oh well. He was one of our weaker subordinates so that doesn't come as a surprise. Why, i'm sure some of our others have met their defeats as well. But so long as our stronger members remain standing, we will win this day, not you childish heroes." Gregory told them all as Bruce went in for another attack. He sprinted for Gregory, roaring and opening his shark jaws wide open to chomp down on him. 

"Or maybe dumb kids is more accurate....?" Gregory questioned as he pointed at Bruce with his left index finger. Bruce came to a full stop mid-step and just froze there unable to move at all. Gregory yawned as he then curled in and flicked his index finger forward, making Bruce fly back and slide along the ground until he was over 100 feet away. 

"Going at him head on like that isn't gonna do us any good. Hell, even going at him all at once wasn't very effective. We need to find some way to catch him off guard...." Holly said as everyone agreed with her. 

"I'll be kind to you kids and give you a bit of information. Exactly at the one minute mark of the countdown, our newest member, Cry, will open up a portal for me to get out of here. And it would also seem I'll be leaving Killer behind. But, with my exit, that does indeed leave you with just a minute to stop this device from detonating. But the chances any of you are capable of disarming a bomb in that time is 100, no, 1000-to-0." Gregory explained to them all as Midareka walked over and began whispering into Holly's ears.
