  Before fully passing out I was able to release a powerful blast of energy to destroy the concrete cocoon I was trapped in. I took a look at my surroundings and found my vision clouded by smoke from the destruction I had caused.

Y/n: "Miruko!" I screamed

I aimlessly walked around trying to find her and Rook. She wasn't answering her comms, that or the connection was lost. Fed up of endlessly walking about I made a giant fan to blow the dust away. Doing so revealed something that made my heart drop, Miruko on the ground, with her head split open, and Rook, standing above her. I felt the anger in my body rise as I prepped a powerful blast of energy to fire at Rook, only to be interrupted him beginning to talk.

Rook: "Before you do anything rash, she's alive, though not for long. That gash on her head looks nasty but if you're quick enough, then you might be able to get her to the hospital."

Y/n: "You're right, if I kill you quick enough, then I can save her."

Rook: "Hmm, big talk for someone lower ranked than her. But whatever, if I have to kill two pros then fuck it. I'm sure Shigaraki will pay me handsomely...no pun intended. [Thoughts: Though I wonder if he still has any money left after what happened with Overhaul.]

Y/n: "The only thing you'll be getting tonight is a headstone".

I then proceeded to create my ultimate construct, The Emerald Knight. I flew up into the air and began the creation process, light bended to my will as it bent and folded over itself, creating an impenetrable armor that couldn't be breached. This is how I would take Rook out, and taking him in alive was no longer my concern, he was going down, dead or alive. (This is what The Emerald Knight looks like):

Rook: "Hmm, so that's your ultimate technique, guess it's only fair to shown you mine

Rook then began to summon and manipulate all of the rock around him, covering himself in an armored monstrosity. The stone continued to shape itself into jagged edges and hard armor plates as the mountain-like suit became bigger. Finally the process ended and revealed the abomination that Rook had made.

Rook: "Behold, I call it, The Behemoth!"

After Rook and I both made our "mechs" we rushed towards eachother

After Rook and I both made our "mechs" we rushed towards eachother. Our fists connecting sent waves of energy and stone, the air pressure coming off of them sent small amounts of debris flying away. Rook may have power and skill, but he sure does like to stroke his own ego and that meant that taking him down, would be easy. I continued to block and counter his offence, focusing on defense so that I could finalise my plan without him interrupting or catching on. Both of our ultimate forms we're equal physically, but I held an advantage in versatility. While Rook was distracted while trying to obliterate me with barrage of punches I flew above him and fired a powerful yet concentrated beam of energy at him. The beam hit him head on and sent him on one knee. I then fired more beams with a mix of missiles. The onslaught was tearing through his defenses and after a few more minutes, he crumbled. Rook shot out of his Behemoth in a last ditch escape route but it backfired. By leaving, the Behemoth crumbled and he was hit by the full force of the beam. His screams echoed through my ears as I saw his body burn while he desperately tried protect himself. Soon enough, Rook was no more, he was gone, reduced to atoms.

After Rook's death I made the Emerald Knight dissipate and I immediately rushed to Rumi's side.

Y/n: "Rumi! Rumi are you- are you ok ar- fuck!"

She wasn't responding and had lost quite a bit of blood. What made things even worse was that there was no hospital nearby to bring her to. The closest place where she could be patched up was....fuck. Well, I have no other options, hopefully she doesn't kill me if she- no, WHEN she wakes up. I picked Rumi up and blasted into the air, flying at top speeds, not wasting a second of time.
