After finishing the last of the villains, we started looking around, making sure all of them were dealt with.
Endeavor finally took a break and sat on the ground. He had cauterized his own wounds so that the bleeding wouldn't trouble him.
All Might also took a break, sitting on the ground a bit. He needed to go soon, his timer thankfully wasn't done yet.
They were both somewhat tired, to lighten the mood I said.
"Well, I think I got the most-" Not even managing to finish the sentence, I got interrupted.
"No way a kid managed to take down more villains than me!" Endeavor said, his energy restored magically. All Might didn't even bother humouring me.
I just shrugged. All Might looked around a bit. The cameras were focused on us.
All three of us stood up, I supported Endeavor since he was barely moving at this point. He didn't really thank me or anything, just snorted a bit. He didn't have any strength left to push me away though.
We started walking back towards the barricade previously formed by the heroes and the police. We could hear the cheers in the distance. A crowd of onlookers gathered at the city end of the bridge. Coming in our direction.
Since the situation was already diffused, we figured there shouldn't be any problem letting them near the barricade.
I think they arrived at the same time as All Might. I let him handle the press, he is the biggest star here. Although a few reporters tried to stop me and Endeavor for an interview. To which the latter just growled and scared them away.
"Jeez, these people really don't want you to reach an ambulance..." He just looked at me.
I just put the injured Endeavor on my shoulder and jumped over the crowd and in front of an ambulance. The paramedics quickly taking out a stretcher. I could hear him cursing in my general direction as the ambulance rolled away.
With that done, I turned to the civilians, a lot were still concentrated on All Might. A few of them had turned and taken photos of me and of the Nr. 2 Hero.
Jumping back onto the bridge, my perception managed to catch some movement, one of the villains was just pretending to be knocked out. I don't recognize this villain, I think he was taken out of the fight when I first arrived.
I could see him now, standing up and looking around himself with fear on his visage. All Might quickly turned around, even if he was already reaching his limits taking down one villain wouldn't be that hard.
The villain faced the left side of the bridge and rose his hands. In the distance, I could see a huge wave forming, the villain in question bleeding from all orifices.
A giant tsunami was moving toward us, the bridge and the people on it were just looking on, terrified. It was at least 700 meters tall, and it covered the whole bridge and the entirety of Tartaros.
All Might didn't have any energy left to deal with something this big. He looked on, in shock. He wasn't letting the fear show on his face.
But I'm not really planning on sitting and doing nothing. Thankfully the wave wasn't directed at the city, otherwise, this would've been even worse.
A wave this big can't really be blown away easily, the best choice I have right now is to form a shield around the bridge.
"Everyone, stay near the barricade!" My voice was definitely heard, but the people were panicking a lot, not everyone did as asked.
I quickly rose tentacles out of the ground and dragged everyone near the makeshift barricade. I made sure to catch everyone. I, however, didn't have time to worry about the villains. The tsunami was fast approaching.
As soon as I gathered everyone around me I quickly created a multilayered sphere of light that surrounded everybody. It also went underneath the bridge. I am positive the bridge won't hold at all in this situation.
All Might was also inside. Looking at me with a serious expression, his smile all but gone.
"Young Allan, Will it hold!?" I didn't have much time to reply. I created chains of light that rooted themselves on the surfaces around us. Including the bottom of the sea underneath us. I also suspended us in the air using deeply rooted pillars of light.
And just like that, looking around myself, I shouted "Brace for impact!!" The second I said those words the wave engulfed the barrier. The people inside could hear loud crashing sounds.
All Might could hear the first layers of the barrier cracking under the weight of the Tsunami. But he wasn't able to do anything, limited by both his injuries and tiredness. He just clenched his fists and hoped for the best.
At the end of the day, both All Might and I could've escaped this easily. We just needed to run into the city. But we weren't going to just leave all the injured heroes and civilians here.
I could see a lot of the civilians trembling as the cracks started showing on the barrier. The bridge underneath us was already destroyed. All that was holding us up was the numerous pillars of light from before.
When I felt the wave pass I quickly let the barrier down. It was too tiring to hold on to. All of my energy was already expended. I was grasping as I held up the suspended part of the bridge in the air.
All Might finally showed a relieved smiled, as soon as I took the barrier down both he and Hawks started quickly carrying everyone off the platform. In a few minutes, they managed to transport everyone to the city.
After seeing everyone off, I quickly took off flying in their direction. The platform behind me falling into the water, as the light pillars holding it up dispersed.
This was a stupidly exhausting move if I had awakened my fruit the situation would've been so much easier...
As I landed near the city. I was greeted by deafening cheers. And the Symbol of Peace coming near me.
"Great job, Young Allan. Can you still move?" He said in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just exhausted." After that, the smile returned to his face. As I took a few deep breaths and regained my lazy demeanour.
I don't know the state of most of the villains that were on that bridge. But most of them were likely dead.
But, I did my job as a hero. Protected the people that I needed to.
