My Hero Academia: Graduation

Chapter 60: Back on That Rooftop

The entire tower's top three stories were reduced to small chunks of stone, metal, and concrete from the single impact.

Izuku nearly fell off the edge, until he concentrated and released Black Whip out of his arm, grappling around a set of steel bars.

The hero pulled himself back only for Promethys to grab him by his costume and lifted him up.

"You gonna kill me or give another speech?" Izuku groaned.

Promethys said nothing as a large spike grew from his free arm. He thrusted it forward, but Izuku swung up and kicked off, tearing his suit but avoiding the spike.

The villain roared and activated his strongest Quirk, combining every ability he had and channeling it into a single shockwave of energy.

Izuku's eyes widened and jumped away, but couldn't dodge the attack as the ground they stood on was reduced to ash.

Promethys roared out as reddish pink lightning blasted out in every direction at one hundred and eighty degrees depending where he faced. This meant that Izuku was still in the line of sight and yelled out in pain as his body was blasted and knocked against a broken concrete pillar.

"We may be in a time where I am weaker, but so are you. You are unable to use your full power like before, am I correct?" The villain hissed and approached him.

Izuku turned his head quickly to scope out the city below them.

He couldn't see perfectly, but saw that the police had captured the villains now and the heroes were containing what remained of the violence. All that was left was him.

"Deku! Go beyond your limit!" Hansuke's voice echoed in his ears.

Suddenly the boy appeared by his side and pulled him to his feet.

"H-Hansuke?"

"There's no time. Please. The only way to beat this monster is to use your full power, and blast him back through that portal." The boy instructed. "Do it!"

Promethys roared. "I've had enough with you, boy!" He fired a laser from his hand.

In that instant, Izuku took no thought but to push himself between the boy and the laser blast, taking the shot in his exposed chest.

"DEKU!" Hansuke grabbed his hero and forced him to remain standing. "Use One For All!"

"....One For All...." Izuku struggled to even keep his eyes open. Yet he called upon the power, and it came.

His eyes opened wide, glowing cyan as lightning flashed all over his body. His veins glowed pink under his skin.

"Hansuke. Clear the tower." He said gently pushing the boy away from the scene.

"...I believe in you, senpai." Hansuke nodded before using his Quirk to escape.

Promethys's body glowed brightly as he charged the hero, the ground beneath him caving in under his power, yet he floated to the hero regardless.

Izuku channeled his power through his body. "Go...1,000,000%!" He thought.

"One For All....Full Cowling...."

The towering villain came in quickly, arms outstretched to kill.

Izuku, with reflexes faster than the sound barrier, launched his leg up, slamming into Promethys's chest, holding him in place for a moment, while time and momentum stood still. A shockwave followed, shattering every remaining window in the stories below them.

"GO BACK TO THE HOLE YOU CAME FROM!" Izuku shouted as his leg swung up, launching Promethys into the sky, aimed correctly, knocking him back through the portal, closing it once and for all.
