Chapter 199: Paranormal Liberation War Aftermath
~Third POV~
[Gunga Mountain Villa – Edgeshot Team, Japan]
*BOOOOM*
Emerged from the ground rose Gigantomachia. Rising up, he emerges from the underground assembly and is on a rampage. Debris flies everywhere, and the people panic as Gigantomachia starts killing multiple villains and heroes alike in a monstrous roar.
*SMASH*
To stop the villain's massacre, both All Might and Power Ranger punched him as one sending him further away from the battle. Their united might sent the monster flying as it finally noticed the two glaring hatefully.
*SWOOOSH*
Both student and teacher launched themselves forward as they intended to stop Gigantomachia. Both reeled their fist as they started yelling, "DOUBLE UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!"
*BOOOOM*
They unleashed their physical might, sending Gigantomachia into a nearby mountain, burying himself deep inside. Both landed down as they raised their hands All Might asked, eyes narrowed, "Did that do him in?"
*RMBL*
The rumbling of the mountain began as Ren answered All Might's question in a serious tone, prepared for battle, "No. And it seems like AFO buffed his bodyguard up. We have to end this fast."
*BOOOOM*
Just as Ren says this, Gigantomachia, in a fury, lets out a threatening growl as he focuses his attention on them. Gigantomachia's voice echoes throughout the land as he yells, "I, GIGANTOMACHIA, SMASH UGLY FAKE HEROES!"
*BOOOOM*
Gigantomachia began to shift forms. Gigantomachia was an enormous giant, about the height of a large tree or at least 3 building levels or floors with a musclebound build now grown into a full building size.
His brown hair was spiky, and parts of his body appeared to be jagged, much like rock turned jaded and ragged. His teeth are prominently pointed, his lower canines protruding out of his mouth on either side as they begin to grow out from the sides.
When going Mole mode, his lower jaw is actually a visor that shields his eyes from dirt, his canines become much longer, he sports mole-like claws on his fingers, and his jagged back grows spines to help him go underneath the ground.
The Goliath charged towards the heroes as All Might and Power Ranger began preparing their fists. Their fists clash and cause a shock wave that sends debris flying at more heroes and villains.
*BOOOOOM*
Gigantomachia tries punching them, but they counter the blows and pummel him. Each of their blows generated enough air pressure force to create miniature tornadoes in their wake, as All Might said, "We'll stop you!! For we are the Symbol of Peace!!!"
*SMASH*
*WOOSH*
But then Gigantomachia catches their punches and starts laying his beat down on the two heroes. Gigantomachia roars out, "DIE!!!"
*BAM*
Gigantomachia kicks them so hard that they start flying back and crash through the trees and the dirt. Gigantomachia grabs hold of a nearby tree and tosses it in their direction.
Both managed to see the tree coming for them as Ren lunged first. He catches it, but before he can do anything with it, Gigantomachia Dive kicks through the tree to deliver another heavy blow to his opponent.
*BOOOOM*
Gigantomachia starts landing more hits and prepares another heavy punch on All Might all alone as he roars, "DOOOM!!!"
*SMASH*
Gigantomachia delivers a large uppercut that sends All Might through the sky, feeling the force of the hit coughing up blood. His eyes widened as he used his punches to return to the fight, yelling, "NO! I won't allow you to harm those young fledging just yet!! Not while I'm still kicking you, monster!!"
*BOOOM*
All Might lands on a Gigantomachia's chest to regain his ground as the villain crashes through the ground with All Might's power. Using [Float] Ren returns to the fight as he watches from above the sky.
Gigantomachia starts to throw boulders from the mountain to Ren's higher level as he notices him in the sky. Ren easily parries the cars using his [Blackwhip] destroying them with relative ease.
Growling, Gigantomachia began to slowly get up as he tried to toss a small cliff at him in an enraged tone, "STUPID GRAY MAN!"
*SMASH*
Before Gigantomachia could launch the cliff at Ren, All Might appeared, slugging the villain and toppling his face as he yelled, "NOT ON MY WATCH! NEW HAMPSHIRE SMASH!!!"
Seeing that Gigantomachia was down, Ren shifted his position. Getting into a kicking position with [Blackwhip], pulling himself towards a certain direction.
*Whip*
He then draws out 75% of OFA's power and additionally combines it with the stored kinetic energy generated by [Fa Jin]. By doing this, he can draw out the blinding speed of using OFA at 100% without the recoil that comes with it.
As he rushes down, using gravity to increase his momentum, he lands a powerful kick landing on Gigantomachia's head yelled, "[Faux 100%: Manchester Smash]!"
*BOOOOOM*
Ren uses [Faux 100%] and lands an axe kick onto his opponent at blinding speed. The damage was immense as the ground shook causing an earthquake and Gigantomachia's head could be heard with a sickening…
*CRACK*
Ren dives down with his feet, landing on Gigantomachia's head. But despite the heavy brain damage done, Gigantomachia begins to stand back up, yelling, "GIGANTOMACHIA HATES PUNY HEROES! SMASH!"
*BOOOOM*
Gigantomachia unleashes a thunderclap which causes pain to All Might and Ren's hearing being at the epicenter of the clap. Gigantomachia slowly adapts and powers through their attacks and unleashes a large energy beam from his mouth.
*PEW*
The energy beam pierced through the sky, but Ren managed to grab All Might before he was hit directly in the blast. But when the blast contacted the ground…
*KABOOOOM*
Both heroes had to shield their eyes but widen them, seeing the destruction Gigantomachia enhanced and buffed had done. Gigantomachia quickly emerges from the rubble and roars in triumph, "ARGHHH!!!!"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ren spoke up, getting All Might's attention, "All Might… I have a way to end this monster for good. But I'm gonna need to erase his quirk permanently for good."
Hearing this, All Might was stunned but didn't question his protégé as he smirked, giving his full support in a proud tone, "What…! If that's the case, then go for it. If it'll put an end to Gigantomachia, then do it you have my full support."
Ren smiled as he used [Wormhole] at Gigantomachia's face. He placed his hand on his forehead the size of a football field and said, "This is the end beat. This is the power of [All for None]."
*SHIIII*
A black and red aura enveloped Gigantomachia as his eyes widened, screaming in pain. He rolled over the ground, muttering as the aura enveloped him, "AHH! IT HURTS!! IT HURTS!! MASTER!! MASTER HELP ME!!!"
The shining intensity increased further as Ren thought coldly to Gigantomachia as he was slowly shrinking, losing his quirks in the process, 'You break buildings well. But I can break the world if need be.'
Slowly but surely, Gigantomachia formed and changed into a naked, buffed man. Unconscious, he lay there naked defeated in a coma.
All Might went to retrieve Gigantomachia as he asked his protégé curiously, "So I guess he did lose his Quirks protégé?"
Ren clarified as he cuffed the naked Gigantomachia in a calm tone, "No erased. He ain't becoming superpowered anymore he's now just a Quirkless person like a minority."
All Might's eyes widened at this as Ren continued to explain in a calm tone, "This is my secret weapon against AFO. He can't do much without his Quirk - "
*Swf*
Before the clone could finish speaking he was suddenly gone. All Might blinked as he saw purple smoke leave his protégé traces as he yelled, "YOUNG YUKI – "
*KABOOOM*
But it was when an explosion could be seen in Jaku City. His eyes widened, seeing a large shied barrier containing the blast as he grabbed Gigantomachia, rushing to the site of the devastation…
/////
[Present Time, Jaku City-Ruins, Japan]
*Wooosh*
All Might arrived to see the heroes team with Endeavor and his real protégé at the site. A crater could be seen as the heroes there looked burnt but alive.
All Might rushed over to Mirko being treated as he asked in an alarmed tone, "Mirko! Where's Endeavor and the others!"
Mirko looked down, gritting her teeth as she explained in an angry tone, slamming her fist on the ground, "That bloody doctor tried to kill the whole city with his trap! If it wasn't for Endeavor and Crust and a few others with defensive Quirks shielding everyone from the blast, but…"
All Might didn't need to know as he clenched his fist tightly. He could only look at the people who were in trouble as he said in a solemn tone, "I see… then I'll try to save anyone nearby as I can."
All Might began to gaze at the heroes who were in makeshift hospital beds. Eraser Head lost a leg, and Present Mic was knocked out, which seemingly was burnt but breathing.
Later, Midnight's group arrived to help with the evacuation and save lives. She felt a pang of pain seeing her friends unconscious but remained firm in assisting others in need, focusing on them, and pushing down her emotions.
Best Jeaniest was on the scene helping people as he tried to support the morale of heroes and civilians alike. Gigantomachia, Re-Destro, Geten, Trumpet, and other members of the Paranormal Liberation Front in attendance at the assembly were captured.
In total, 16,929 individuals. However, the Gigantomachia rampage allowed some to be killed in action, including high-ranking advisers and heroes alike who were caught by his sudden emergence.
Their bases scattered around the country were hit, too, and the sympathizers were rounded up. But at the same time, people cried out names for someone to save them across the ruins of Jaku City.
"Ow! Ow!"
"We need help!"
"Someone, please!"
"No way!"
"Noooo!"
"Save yourself!"
"I just wanna… be with you!!"
A sense of despair as the heroes try to save the people who were caught with the hospital exploding a portion of Jaku City. Despite the heroes suffering losses and civilians losing their lives, one UA Student heard a hero say in a dead tone, "I can't take it… this is… too much."
Some of the students listened as people cried for help as the hero said, "I need… a new line of work…"
The heroes frowned at this as the students who participated in the raid felt a sense of unease seeing heroes simply quit. The heroes who continue helping the people could only grit their teeth.
But the news of their class rep being taken set a whole new level of despair within the classes of 1-A and 1-B. Their supposed strongest was taken as a sense of fear filled their hearts, while the strong-willed ones remained silent.
Yet the heroes were unaware at this time of the battle of the end began. Meanwhile, in Tartarus, a whole series of events were occurring that would determine the future of this superhuman society… the finale was happening.
