…
"Ghh…" I gurgle
"Not so pretty now, are you?" She snares
"I-I-I-." I tremble as Lucy's spiky tongue drags up the terrible cut between my chest
My body twists and contorts as the jumper cables clamped onto my boobs surge thousands of volts into my body
"Well look at you now…" she smiles widely as I drool like a dog
"Gh-gh. Please…" I sob
No more. I shake my head
"It hurts? Please, tell me it hurts." Lucy frowns
I nod hysterically
"Oh I'm so glad." Toga claps
"You know… before he found me, on this continent actually, I used to think I was a freak." Toga snaps my pinky toe off
"Gmmm." I bite my tonge.
"Mommy and daddy said they always wanted a normal girl, but what's normal?"
Tears trickle down her face
"They prayed every day that I'd change. Until they finally had enough and tried to beat it out of me."
"Heheh." Lucy giggles as she snaps my middle toe aside
"And then… he found me…" her lashes flutter "I watched him devour them. There was so much blood that I… I just had to jump in."
"And then… Do you want to know what we did? What he did to me?" She crawls over with a seductive sway of her hips
"Well… I'm sure you could figure that part out." She wiggles her butt
I shake my head.
Trying to imagine the scene was too painful.
Seeing Kara and Toga doing… 'that' in a pool of blood was heartbreaking
"Do you see now?" Lucy whispers as she outlines my eye socket with a spoon "what kind of man He is?"
…
"Kya!" I cry after she gouged my eye out
I watch it bounce aside before Toga stomps on it
She yanks my head up
"Tell me, what do you think of me?! Of Kara?!"
"I-I think y-you're confused, sad… lonely."
I sniff the dribble of blood back into my nose
"Neither of you had a good figure to look up to. To tell you it's okay to be… human."
…
"Grah!" She smashes her knee into my face
I cry hysterically as she shoved her thumb into my eye socket and smashes my head into the ground
…
I'm no better than someone who has killed thousands. No, millions of people.
Kara… I've seen just how much he gets off of bullying others.
But I've also seen the nasty scars he has across his body.
The same scars I saw on her. I look up at Toga.
"Even then… I've seen the light, twinkling in his eyes." I smile in a bloody mess
…
"You lie! I hate you!" She yanks my hair back, nearly taking my scalp along with it.
She stabs my face with her box cutter over and over befo
"It's dim…" I cough "fragile, even. But it's there."
"Stop it! Stop lying!" She cries
"You've seen it. In the way he looks at me." I whimper
The way he holds me when he thinks I'm asleep.
How he's always rescuing me despite how much he acts that he hates me.
…
Pov.
-Kara-
All Might and I exchanged a few blows before turning to the sky.
I knock him back into the ground where I teleported to and pull my arm back
"Blue." I swing my arm over just for him to knock it aside, sending my attack over to obliterate a mountain peak in the vast distance
He grabs my wrist, brings me over his shoulder and smashes me into the ground
Of which I softened enough to swallow me whole.
There I summoned Susanoos arm to raise him to the sky before smashing him into the hardened ground.
"Big Bang… Attack!"
I blast him in the face with a Big Bang powerful enough to blow away my Susanoo and create a crater about a quarter mile deep
"Hmh." I raise my arms, crumbling the dirt into the hole
I do the 44 corresponding hand signs within a split second
"Earth Style."
The Dragon roars behind me as All Might resurfaces
"Earth Dragon Bullet."
The Dragon screeches as it shoots for its target
All Might pats the rubble aside before cocking his fist back
"Detroit… Smash!" He uppercuts the dragon with enough force to create an F-5 Tornado
Although the 500 mph winds did not phase me I slapped aside a few trees and boulders out to get me.
…
I cross my arms as the winds finally subside
All Might glares at me with his fist pumped in the air.
His clothes were tattered and torn and he had a streak of blood leading to his busted lip
…
I smash my fist into his gut before he grabs my wrists and swings me across the Island
I send a fireball his way as I soar through the sky but he jumps straight through the flames
I jerk my body around to knee his face as he snaps around me
He blocks it with his palms
I lock my hands together before smashing them into the back of his head and burrying him into the ground
I blast him over and over with a volley of energy blasts
I bring my hands forth as I sent him crashing into the forest
A red sun forms in the palm of my hand
It grows larger and larger before I raise it to the sky
I poured more energy into it until it's radius grew into the size of a football field
It compresses into a quarter of its original size as Almight pats himself down
"Red… Giant."
I burst into Kaioken x20 as I send the star hurtling towards him
"Kara No!" He catches the star "You'll destroy the entire continent!"
Instead of pushing the attack into him I snap right behind him the very moment he managed to crush it
I dig my elbow into his back
"Gh-." He jerks around leading with his fist he was ready to give me another smash
"Red." I catch his fist the very instant I created the cursed technique
His arm swings back
I tug my fist back before delivering a combo of about 100 blows
I punched kicked and rocked him around within the few seconds that he tried to make sense of what the hell just happened
He then catches my fists and knees me in the gut
I tug my fist back before stepping in and throwing down a second time
Except this time he was ready
Our fists clashed and pounded on the others flesh as the raging winds spun around us and into the sky, creating cyclones and tornadoes large enough to level cities
After finally landing roughly 500 blows I slam my heel into his chin
He soars into the sky as I cup my hands back
"Kamehame…"
He opens his arms, bringing himself to a halt
"Hraah!" I roar, burying myself into the ground as I unleash the devastating beam into the sky
He twists out of the was as the beam drags across his chest
"Kgh." I grit my teeth
We went back and forth a second time until knocking each other back.
I slam my hands together and outstretch my arms as he raced over
"Piercing Blood."
My blood hardens into a bullet that blasts straight through his shoulder
"Texas Smash!" I use Kamui to make his fist stride through my face before uppercutting his chin
I step back, ducking his cross and landing another to his liver.
He coughs a handful of blood
Before I could retreat he grabs the back of my head
I just barely manage to block his knee from caving my face in and get away with a minor concussion.
He steps in and digs his fist into my gut
"Carolina… Smash!" He catches me only a few feet away and hammers me into a crater in the ground
I spring myself back up, smashing my feet onto his chest before landing a few meters away
"Bastard." I huff
I'm not sure how much my body can handle.
I'm starting to cramp
It's no use
"I'll have to." I cough on my hands and knees
I slowly pull myself up
It's the only way.
Kaioken x25
I tuck my elbows in
Blood Flame Art…
"Blood Flame Dragon."
My entire body bursts into flames
Rather than this Dragon Force transformation working as a multiplier it enhances my blood retention and regenerative capabilities
In exchange for being excruciatingly burned alive. Course that means I only have a few seconds to a minute at most.
This will end when he's either dead or I'm a pile of ash.
…
I lunge straight for All Might
I pull my fist back
He does the same in a mutual agreement to end this fight once and for all
Our fists clash, together with a perfectly timed Black Flash
His arm swings back as he pulls the other forth to clash a second time
The sheer amount of power behind every single blow both obliterates my limbs and generates the largest cyclones this continent has ever seen
I smash my shin into his forearm, sending him a ways East
"New Hampshire…" He catches himself, "Smash!" He blasts through the space separating us and slams his chest into mine
He quickly blitz behind me
"Oklahoma…" he twists his body. "Smash!"
I raise my hands
"California!" He smashes into my palms
"Detroit!" He smashes my chin and sends me back across the sky
"Missouri!" I barrel across the island and into the ocean
My eyes began melting out of their sockets as the ocean circled around us
All there was left was my beating heart, forcing the blood and adrenaline into my muscles
"That's enough Kara… please, you can't take any more of this.
I have to..
It has to be me.
I use blue to reel us together and warping the air to zero down the air resistance
At a speed dwarfing over a Hundred thousand Machs to nothing my fist squeezed between his forearms and it smashes into his forehead
My arm explodes before regenerating only up to my wrist
He stumbles back
I bob under his cross and slip his jab
I smack his cheek bone with my elbow before stepping around
I uppercut his chin with my stumpy wrist before blitzing around him and smashing my shin into his back
He crashes through a reef
I duck his swinging back kick
I create a beast bomb where my hand used to be and I smash it into his abdomen
The explosion blows me away but the ground catapults me back into him
He catches my hand and my wrist
I manage to push him back before he pulls me over his shoulder
He slams me into the ground before tossing me aside
I warp the space around me to fling me back like a rubber band
I smash my heels into his chest
He stumbles back
He grabs my ankles and swings me around before tossing me into the sky
My arms and legs flap like noodles as he raced behind me
"St, Louis… Smash!" He slams his foot into my cheek so hard he obliterates my jaw
I level the mountain and the surrounding jungle as I crash back onto the island
There was nothing more
I had nothing left.
Cana…
"You did this to yourself, Kara." All Might sniffs "we could've found a way… Together, but…"
I… killed her.
I was too weak
She'll never get to see what our…
What we… created…
Cana…
…
"Ba!"
The child's voice ringing in my head somehow snapped me back
I felt her little hands against my chest shove me back to my feet
Nine Ropes of Paramita…
Pillars of Light.
All Might takes a few steps back as my skin began to regenerate
The Purple Sphere of Light flickering in front of me, spun faster and faster with every moment.
Doves and Crows
The Gap Between Heaven and Earth.
The Purple Sphere grew a darker shade of red as it began knocking, the faster it spun
With the rotational speed far exceeding the sound barrier it mimics what you'd hear from a Pulsar
"North… American." All Might tugs his fist back, and holds it in place with his other hand "Super.. Continental…"
"Smash!"
…
"Red-Violet." The sphere slams into his fist
It detonates the very moment they met
The eruption coupled with a smash capable of obliterating an entire continent levels whatever that was left of the island and annihilates the circulating Hurricane we created during our brawl
…
I examine my arms and my hand as it heals completely again
Reverse Curse…
A technique that converts the Negative energy of the soul into positive in order to heal the physical being
A technique that I had not ever been able to replicate for that very reason
Thinking about them… must've ignited something inside me.
The dust finally settled to reveal All Might sprawled on the ground.
His right forearm… and a chunk of his side were gone. The explosion blew the skin off his chest and left his jaw hanging by a thread
I point at his beating chest
I lend him enough energy to last before raising my gaze to the sky
About twenty minutes later a helicopter arrived to take us out of here.
Midnight quietly hands me my clothes.
They flew us back to UA where All Might received extensive care.
"You beat him…" Midnight watches as they rush him into surgery
"You almost killed Him!" Deku storms into the room "and you almost killed yourself!"
"It was a duel." I crossed my arms.
"Neither of you had to go that far!" He cries
…
I did.
"It is his own fault."
Everyone tries settling him down as Momo returns with the child.
"Bmm…" She coos inside her little sack
"Have you heard from…"
I shut my eyes as I hang the sack at my waist
Cana…
I search for her energy until I teleport to her the very moment I found it.
…
"Cana…" I gasp after seeing her dangling in the ceiling by her palms impaled by a chain.
Her eyes flutter open
Her left cheek was sizzling back together. And she had terrible cuts, bruises, and burns through her entire body.
After freeing her hands she collapsed into my arms
"K-Ka…rah?" Tears trickle down her face
I nod, with a horrible constricting feeling in my throat
Toga… she…
"You're here…"
"I am." I clear my throat
"I knew you'd come for me…" she frowns
I press my forehead against hers.
The very thought of losing her for good never hit me as hard as it did now.
I began feeling sick to my stomach, the knot in my throat tightens the more I thought about it.
…
Our noses mingle before I tilt my head
She leans in
My racing heart and the fear of losing her faded after feeling her tender lips.
She drapes her arms around my neck and crawls onto my lap, keeping me from pulling away
My rough caused hands scrape her soft tender flesh as my arms circled her petite waist
I squeezed her tight, almost as if fearing the moment she'd pull away
A direct betrayal of the way I convinced myself I've felt for so long.
She melts into my embrace as we kissed and nibbled each other lips until she opened her glistening eyes with tears
"I love you, Kara." She smiles
"I…"
I nod
She gives me a warm gentle smile.
"Is that… a potato sack?" She tilts her head
"Oh…" I bring it over "Yeah."
"Hehe. Cool, I could really go for one right-."
"Opp!" A little head pops out from the bag
Cana gasps at the sight of our… daughter.
She flutters the tears out of her eyes as a little frown takes the place of her beaming smile.
"My baby…" she bursts into tears before taking her into her arms. "I missed you, baby!"
"Mmm." The child tears up before she too begins wailing.
…
"It's okay, you're okay." Cana sniffs, cradling the girl
"Wh-what did you… what did you name her?"
I shake my head
"I didn't…"
I didn't know how to
"You had her for over a month…"
Two, actually.
I shrug
"Oh…" she smiles
"Cornelia…" She raises the child to the shining light "Just like your grandmother."
