No one's POV
The clone Ryu made slowly started disappearing and the remaining heroes began to fear.
"We have to continue fighting." groaned Luffy
But then the Ryus under Demon's control began to sink into the earth.
"I think it's over." said earth prime Ryu
But then a black mist appeared and there Demon appeared.
"No..." gasped Kishimoto
"Your two friends will be joining you." said Demon
She drew her sword and approached the last few standing heroes.
"I'll kill all of you the way I want to." said Demon
Demon's POV
I began slashing at all the heroes, blood spilling everywhere as they cried out their last scream of their life. Their screams were filling me with joy and pleasure, causing me to want to kill them more.
"Prominence burn!" yelled a guy who was covered in flames.
I just put up my hand and absorbed all the flames and shot it back at him but he was able to split it so that it could avoid him.
"Interesting." I said
A guy wearing an orange sweater with a white cloak threw some kind of ball with a ring around it but I just slapped it away.
"What?" questioned the man in orange
"Pathetic." I smiled
I slowed down time and began to slash at everyone endlessly.
"We can't let her-"
I beheaded a pink alien looking girl.
"Mina!" yelled a boy with red hair
I swung my sword down but his skin hardened but my sword cut both of his arms off.
"You're all going to die." I said
But then arms started stretching towards me but I cut all of them off. A green hair guy with three swords came close to me and started swinging his swords but I melted them all and stabbed his chest and sliced his body in half.
"We're almost there." said Phoenix
"Yes we are." I replied
Ryu's POV
I began to fall down into darkness.
'So this is it huh?'
I crashed onto a floor but it was wet, I slowly sat up thinking I was in hell but when I looked around I was in some kind of dark place with water all around about shin high. The only source of light there was, was around me, wherever I go it follows
"Where am I?" I questioned
I looked around but then I saw something in the distance, something flash like a lightning bolt in the sky.
I slowly approached it and then I saw that it was Thunder.
"Thunder!" I called out
I ran towards him to see the injured and weak Thunder.
"Didn't think killing you would bring you to me spiritually." said Thunder
"Well, I'm dead but I'm not in hell." I said
Thunder coughed a bit and looked down at me.
"Ryu, you still have a chance." said Thunder
I looked up at him towering over me but I just lost hope in stopping her.
"I don't know if I want to anymore." I said
But then Thunder brought his head down to my level, his eye was about my height.
"Are you already letting go of her?" he asked
I was a bit shocked by his question.
"She said she doesn't love me anymore." I said
"It doesn't matter, this isn't just about you or her." he said, "You're the one who talked about letting go."
I nodded in agreement.
"Maybe letting her go is the best." I said
"That's exactly why you will succeed." said Thunder
He stood back up and sighed.
"Those who can't throw away the thing they love the most to save others will never succeed." said Thunder ,"But you're throwing away the one thing you love in order to save others and that's what a true hero does."
"I know but what can I do?" I asked
"Heal me, place your hand on me." said Thunder
Without a question I placed my hand on his wing and I felt something suck out of me.
"Don't worry it's just me borrowing your augmentation." said Thunder
"I'll help you with that." I said
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
'This is about saving the multiverse.'
Then faces of those I was accepted by began appearing in my mind.
'Kishimoto, Lydia, mom.'
I felt a heavy weight on my heart so I just screamed and three lightning bolts hit me and Thunder. Thunder cawed in the air and he began to grow bigger and I could see his wounds heal.
'I'll save you all.'
Demon's POV
"Oh, you're resisting." I said
A white hair boy with giant grenades as his wrist gauntlet grabbed the sword impaled in his chest.
"I'll, kill you." he growled
He aimed one of the giant wrist grenade gauntlets and aimed it at me.
"Die!" he yelled as he pulled the pin
It exploded right in front of my face but it didn't even leave a scratch.
"You're an annoying little brat." I growled
"Oi..." I heard someone whisper from behind
"How is that possible..." whispered Phoenix
I turned around and there Ryu was on one of his knees panting like he ran a marathon.
"How are you still alive?" I asked
He just smiled and shrugged.
"I don't know." he said
He slowly got up and I saw that his skin was clear, his wounds gone, the hole in his chest and heart were closed up.
"But it's over now." said Ryu
His eyes began to brighten.
"Including you Phoenix." his voice boomed
"It's Thunderbird." growled Phoenix
Ryu's POV
"Ryu can you hear me?" asked Kurt through my watch
"Yea I can hear you." I replied
"Listen to me, we're nearly done for, if you don't hurry up then we're all dead." said Kurt, "Lydia knew she was going to die, but she wanted me to give you this. Teleporting it to you now."
Something started to brighten up in front of me and there in the air floating, was a sword. I immediately recognized it was earth prime Ryu's sword. I took it and looked at it as if I haven't seen him in a long time.
"A sword doesn't change anything." said Demon as she kicked Bakugou away
"It doesn't." I replied
I got into my fighting stance and drew the sword out of the scabbard.
"But this isn't even my sword." I said as I summoned lightning bolts onto the sword.
We both charged towards each other and clashed our swords creating another huge impact. So I led her somewhere far and began fighting her leaving trails of destruction.
"I killed you once, I'll kill you again." said Demon
She shot a huge wall of blue flames and there was no way I could dodge.
"Ryu, put up one of your arms." said Thunder
I did and suddenly I began to absorb the fire into my hand. Demon's eyes widened when she saw me do that and I looked at my hand surprised.
But then I decided to shoot my hand out to Demon and just as I did that blue fire began to shoot out of my hand.
"What the..."
"You have the power of every augmentation." said Thunder
I smiled and punched the floor forcing a stone spike to shoot out. Demon jumped up to dodge it just as I expected so I froze the molecules up in the air creating an ice ball. It fell onto Demon but she forced it away using psychic powers and using telekinesis, she threw the ball at me.
I evaporated it and shot water spikes at her but she was able to dodge them. She began to move around fast, leaving afterimages so I stopped time and caught up with her. I was so much faster than before, equal to Demon's speed so we began clashing at each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 hours later
I was on one knee huffing and puffing as Demon was also on one knee about 50 yards away from me, all tired from the fight. My armor and tights were mostly ripped and torn off, same goes for Demon except hers was mostly intact.
"Over and over." she said
She began punching the floor creating an earthquake.
"Why won't you just die?!" she yelled
I stayed silent.
"Why?!" she yelled
"That's cause I still love you!" I yelled back
Her eyes widened in surprise but she kept glaring at me.
"Ryu I'm giving you more energy but this time I'll fight by your side." he said
I nodded and I felt another wave of energy. Demon stood up and pointed her sword at me and I felt the atmosphere around me change.
"She's summoning Phoenix." said Thunder, "I think this will be her final attack."
"Before we start, how's it looking for the other fronts?" I asked
"They're all nearly done for." replied Thunder
"Then I guess this is our last attack as well." I said
"Remember, I'll go for Phoenix once we injure him. He won't be able to heal Demon so easily and I'll stop her from using her augmentation." said Thunder
"Why couldn't you do that earlier?" I asked
"Cause of Phoenix." replied Thunder
I nodded and watched as a hurricane hovered over us. 8 purple lightning bolts hit Demon, black fire began to emerge all around her as the wind picked up and suddenly the ground violently trembled as it cracked behind her.
Out from the cracks was a giant flaming bird about the size of Thunder, the Phoenix let out a loud caw and flapped his wings creating a hot gush of wind.
"My turn." I said
I screamed at the top of my lungs as 10 red lightning bolts hit me, the ground underneath me broke and water began to shoot out, creating a tsunami behind me. Multiple tornadoes also began to hit the ground and I felt my eyes tingle.
'My eyes...'
"You're eyes are turning bright red." said Thunder
I smiled and once I smiled I felt a gush of wind from behind and I saw Thunder appear from the broken cracks of the earth. He cawed in the air as he flapped his four wings, red lightning bolts forming all around his body.
"Thunderbird..." growled Phoenix
"Phoenix, stop this we don't have to do this." said Thunder
"Afraid you're going to lose?" asked Phoenix
"I'm afraid of hurting you." he replied
We all stayed silent, the only thing that wasn't quiet was the crashing waves from behind, the tornadoes and the lightning bolts in the sky and around both me and Thunder. But behind Demon was a whole wave of hot magma, a tsunami but it's lava.
I got into my fighting as Demon got ready to run. I forced lightning and fire onto my blade just as Demon forced fire and lightning onto hers.
Demon ran towards me so I ran towards her as well, we were both fast but everything felt slow. The waves behind me and Demon began crashing towards each other, Thunder flying above me as Phoenix was doing the same with Demon.
'I've never thought my life would be like that.'
We were about two yards away.
'But I'm glad I met you.'
I swung my sword once we got close.
'Thank you.'
Once our sword made contact, Phoenix and Thunder both collided creating a huge blast that shook the earth and the explosion blinded me and knocked me unconscious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I groaned and opened my eyes and looked at the orange sky as the sun was setting.
'Am I in heaven?'
I slowly sat up and I looked like I was in some kind of desert.
'I don't think I am.'
I looked down and the upper part of my attire was completely gone. I looked in front of me and saw my sword laying there so I slowly got up and picked it up.
But once I turned around I saw Demon swing her sword at me but I blocked it and collapsed onto the ground.
"Why?" she groaned
Her top part of her attire was also gone revealing her bra but she was bleeding.
"Why?!" she yelled
She swung her sword down but it was weak so I was able to resist but I was weak as well so I just collapsed again.
"Why make me go through all the trouble?!" she yelled
She swung her sword down but I blocked it again.
"You know, that even if I surrender, the council will kill me." she said
"I know." I replied
"Then why?!" she yelled as she swung her sword down, "Why won't you kill me?!"
I gasped but she was about to swing but she collapsed onto her knees.
"Why? I knew you could have killed me right there." said Demon
"You didn't even use your full power." I said
Demon started laughing.
"How did you know?" she asked
"I just know." I replied
I got up and dropped my sword and collapsed onto my knees in front of her.
"Demon..." I whispered
She looked up and I just smiled.
"Thank you." I said
Her eyes widened in confusion.
"Why are you thanking me?" she asked
"Cause of you, you changed my life." I said, "You changed who I am, how people see me."
I hugged her, catching her by surprise again.
"See, you can change people. You can make them become a better person." I said, "So please, let everything in the past go."
She didn't hug me back but I didn't care.
"I know I'm a hypocrite cause I couldn't let you go, you probably already did." I whispered, "But what happened in the past that made you like this, can be forgotten."
I felt her arms touch me but she pushed me off and sat on top of me and began punching my face. Over and over she kept punching me until I was nothing but a bruised and bloody pulp.
But I looked up and saw that she was crying for the first time, I've never seen her cry before. My eyes widened as tears fell onto my face as her punches got weaker.
"Goddamn you." she cried
She punched me again but she raised an arm to punch me but she stood still.
"Why can't you just leave me?" she asked
"I thought I already told you." I whispered, "I love you."
She started sobbing and continued punching me but her punches were just light taps now.
"Even after everything I fucking did to you." she whispered
She got off and collapsed onto her butt while looking at the sunset so I slowly got up and sat next to her.
"What you did to me was what changed me." I said
She sighed and wiped her tears away.
"You still believe in me?" she asked
"I still believe that you can change." I replied
She looked at me and smiled.
"Then, I surrender." she whispered
