There wasn't much to say besides that we weren't expecting that. Thankfully most of the seriously injured heroes were carried off before the Tsunami ever appeared.
It couldn't really be counted as a mistake on the heroes' side, in a fight of this size, it's impossible to keep track of everything and everyone.
But, it might be my fault, with my speed I could easily reach him the moment he so much as twitched. But I wanted to see what he was going to do.
As for the person responsible for the Tsunami, they were likely dead. After a few days, bodies will likely start washing ashore. Scaring some people and probably traumatized a few. But there will definitely be bodies belonging to the villains we fought today.
Usually drowning is one of the most excruciating ways to die, filling your lungs fill with water and being unable to do anything about it. For most of them, it was painless.
Most of the people were already unconscious at the time of death.
It's unknown just what led to this mass break-out. Indeed, the once impenetrable prison was lately stacked with villains, but its defences were top notch.
Right now, there is no survivor left from the guards working at Tartaros, even if they survived the villain rampage they couldn't have survived the tsunami.
The prison itself wasn't destroyed by the overgrown wave. But the insides were flooded. It would take a while before the maximum-security prison would be operational again.
And after this incident, there will be many reforms to that prison. The people at the top didn't take lightly to this loss of life. They may not care much about the villains, but the guards were all productive members of society.
And if we didn't manage to stop the villains from getting into the city they would have no doubt gone back to ruining everything our society holds dear.
The quirk that affected the defences so heavily is speculated to belong to the last inmate sent into the prison. On paper, their quirk allowed them to manipulate a certain frequency that they also emit.
But apparently, there was a lot more to that quirk than meets the eye. He managed to affect everything in the prison at once.
It just shows, that in a world of quirks, there is bound to be one that can render the defences of Tartarus useless. It's what motivates us to improve our systems.
For me, this situation was an eye-opener. It reminded me just how unpredictable quirks can be. And it also reminded me that I need to grow stronger.
I may have lied a bit when All Might asked me if I was doing ok. At that time I could barely stay on my feet. But I didn't want to look weak in front of the people I had saved.
Right now, I am standing on the edge of the broken bridge, I could feel the things around me, but I had turned off my perception. I could feel even the people behind me, going to their homes.
I suddenly felt the urge to pull at the lights around me. I could see them moving as I pulled onto them. The light becoming more and more powerful.
I started controlling the light around me. In my excitement, I had forgotten about my exhaustion. All Might was looking at me with an odd expression.
All Might was likely able to tell that my last move was extremely taxing, right now he was probably assessing the situation. As the people that were leaving turned around. They looked on, the lights dancing around, almost as if of their own volition.
I could only recognize this as a fruit awakening. I had never seen an awakened logia before. But from what I understand, awakening differs from fruit to fruit.
Even when fruits are of the same category, they might have different ways of awakening. In my case, I seem to have gained the ability to feel all of the light around me and control it.
This strengthened my perception by a lot. In the past, I was stuck to a certain speed mostly due to my perception not being able to keep up with the speed of light. While I could go up to the speed of light, I would not be able to control it whatsoever.
Now, my perception was strengthened greatly, it meant that now I could reach even greater speeds, and also control them.
In the past, I couldn't even control myself when going at a quarter of the speed of light. Now I think I can even go at half of that without any issue.
"Young Allan, you should take a break." All Might said, patting me on my back and breaking me out of my stupor. This brought me back to reality. My legs were starting to give.
But All Might was holding me up. Making me look perfectly fine in the eyes of the crowd.
"Yellow Flash, could we get an interview!?" A reporter asked excitedly.
"We should get going for now. Crime does not wait!" Sayng that, All Might jumped, dragging me with him and going at full speed to UA.
After a few minutes, we landed at the gates of UA, he started steaming." Thank you All Might, I'll take a cab from here."
He just nodded reluctantly, not having time to stand in that form any longer. He quickly dashed off, pretending to go somewhere else.
I just entered a taxi and gave the driver Rumi's address.
When reaching home, I was already almost falling asleep. My home is Rumi's house of course. Which meant that meeting her here wasn't surprising.
What was surprising was the concern she was showing me. And the crushing hug I received upon entering the door. She should know better than to worry for me at this point. But it still warms my heart.
" Sorry for making you worry..." My voice coming out as more of a whisper.
"Shut up." She said, not letting go of me at all.
And in the warmth of her arms, I fell asleep.
