Unknown Location

A towering figure was currently standing over a cliff side in a dead wasteland. The wind slowly blowing by as his hair moved with it.

It was none other than the Shining Emperor himself. Lord Korizen. He had been awake for quite awhile now. In fact, he never went back to rest since the last time you faced him.

Korizen could sense your growing power rising by the minute. And he had recently felt Musabori's presence completely vanish.

This was more than enough to grab his attention as he clenched his fists, took a squat, and flew off at immeasurable speeds as his eyes glistened a crimson shade.

Korizen: I know you're out there...Y/N...

Meanwhile

Everybody had just witnessed you completely obliterate Musabori from existence, leaving them completely and utterly terrified.

Without Musabori to give you orders, you were now rendered a Loose Cannon, and a horrific one at that.

Your power was still growing. Even greater than before. At this rate you'd be unstoppable.

Daiko: Damn it! We can't keep up with how fast his power's growing, we won't be able to even faze him at this point!

Y/N: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Lotus: Maquist needs to hurry up with getting our powers back, otherwise we're done for...!

Kefla: You're crazy! We've still got plenty in store for em!

At that moment you leaped down from where you had killed Musabori and landed in front of the crowd of students.

Upon making contact with the ground, the entire continent shook violently as if it were about the be destroyed. A massive crater formed around you as Midoriya and the others struggled to keep their balance.

Y/N: Fresh Meat...

Kasai: Shit...!!

Mori: Just stay behind us! We'll hold him off for as long as we can!

Kefla: Damn right! We'll do more than just hold him off!!

Kefla then rushed into battle as Daiko tried to call out to her, but it was far too late for that.

Kefla clenched her fist and reeled her arm back while letting out a cocky laugh while bolting at you at accelerating speeds.

Upon reaching you, Kefla smashed her fist directly into your chest. The Crater you were standing in growing slightly larger as everyone felt the pressure from where they stood.

However despite the power of her punch, you didn't budge. Not even an inch. If anything, Kefla's punch seemed to please you as you let out a sinister laugh while looking down at her.

Y/N: Hehehehehe...Weak...

You then hit Kefla right in her face with a wild headbutt to her face. Blood spewing from her nose as she went flying back and skidded across the ground.

Kefla: Ugh...but how?! Not even a minute ago we were knocking him senseless!

Lotus: His power grows faster the more it goes on. You were capable of fighting against him, but now he's on a new level...

Kefla: You're freaking kidding me!! His power's growing by that much?!

Kasai: It looks like it...however he seems to have reverted to a more primal state. Buy Maquist some time by simply out-maneuvering him until he can pull it off.

Akko: So just dodge...?

Kasai: That pretty much sums it up.

Daiko: Well it looks like we've got no choice at this point. Here we go!

With that everybody dashed at you again as you let out a more wild roar. Slowly but surely you seemed it be losing your mind.

Meanwhile

With the death of Musabori, there was nobody to keep The Celestial Devourer in check. Therefore now it was going on a rampage, consuming the life energy of everything around it.

Because of this, Maquist wasn't able to get close, but he was slowly regaining a decent amount of his Chakra.

His eyes had changed to yellow and the iris' in his pupils had changed shape. But even with his regained energy he couldn't get close without losing it all over again.

Maquist: Damn...I can't approach it if it's just constantly eating energy...

???: Need a hand?

Maquist looked up with widened eyes to see Cameron hovering above his head. He was taken back as he had forgotten that he was even here to begin with.

Maquist: Cameron...!!

Cameron: In the flesh. How have you been?

Maquist: We can save the formalities for later, I need to take this thing out fast...

Cameron: Hm?

Cameron then looked into the distance to see The Celestial Devourer and what it was doing. This caused him to go wide eyed as Maquist gestured him to get cover to which he quickly did without hesitation.

Cameron: So how do you suggest we do this...?

Maquist: One clean opening is all I need...A Rasenshuriken with my level of chakra should hit him hard enough to at least release our powers, and if we're lucky, maybe even kill it all together.

Like he said, Maquist then started charging up a Rasenshuriken in the palm of his hand.

Cameron: If it consumes energy, then let me distract it. There isn't a sun anywhere near here, and I consumed most of my energy while fighting Y/N. even if it does manage to take my power, it won't make too much of a difference. All you need to do is give me a signal.

Maquist: You got it.

Cameron gave a nod before soaring into the battlefield without hesitation. Maquist still charging up his attack as he thought to himself.

Maquist: We've been friends for a long time, Cameron. But since you've been gone I've made new friends and allies who've been by my side for awhile now. Y/N, Lotus, Kasai, and all of the others, they've treated me and accepted me despite our bumpy start. Kasai's still yet to completely warm up to me, and I don't know if he ever will, but these Men and Women who are currently fighting for their lives have earned every ounce of my respect.

He continued to watch as Cameron flew around and kept the Devourer at bay. He was too fast for it to keep up with, and Cameron was smarter. However there were a few times now where The Devourer had come close to taking Cameron's powers.

Maquist: But now there's no grudges, No enemies in this community. Only friends and allies. Now let me stop with this emotional talk so we can get the job done!

Suddenly one of the Devourer's heads opened up it's gaping as it's jaws slammed onto Cameron. The Struggling Kryptonian barely managing to hold it's jaws open as another head also opened it's mouth. Preparing to steal whatever energy Cameron had left.

Looking into the distance, Maquist gave him a thumbs up. Allowing Cameron to throw the Devourer off of him and get the hell out of there.

Maquist himself leaped into the open and was headed right for the beast. One of the Devourer's heads firing a beam at him which engulfed him instantly and blew him away.

Maquist: GAAAH!!

Cameron: NO!!

In the midst of the smoke, Cameron looked in utter despair. Maquist was gone with a single blast of the Celestial Devourer...or was he?

Maquist: Made you look!!

Turns out what The Devourer had blasted was a mere clone. Allowing the Real Maquist to get the opening he needed as he was about to slam his Rasenshuriken right into it's back.

Maquist: THIS IS IT!

Meanwhile

Everybody else was still struggling a whole lot against you. Kefla was running short on time, and Daiko and Mori were beaten up and wounded.

The other students weren't doing any better. All of them were wounded and tired, but weren't willing to give up.

Issei: D-Damn...!! We're chew toys to him!!

???: Y/N!!!

You suddenly looked to your left as Vegeta came flying in to punch you right in the face. The blow actually connected, and it looked like it actually did damage.

Everybody was shocked by Vegeta's sudden appearance, but he was welcomed nonetheless. Vegeta then landed another blow which seemed to be even more effective than the last.

Eye-Catch

Eye-Catch

The students watched in awe as Vegeta was currently accomplishing what the others couldn't. You tried your best to fend him off but like a Mosquito, he just wouldn't quit.

Ruby: H-He has him on the run...!!

Midoriya: Amazing! That's Amazing, Vegeta!!

Upon looking into it, Lotus and Kasai instantly caught on with what Vegeta was up to, and were intrigued by his idea.

Lotus: I see...why didn't we think for that sooner?!

Kasai: It makes so much sense! Who else but Vegeta, huh?

Diana: What are you talking about...? What's he doing?!

Both: Forced Spirit Fission!

Yang: Spirit Fission...?

Lotus: To sum it up, this technique of Vegeta's can quite literally beat any energy out of the target that doesn't naturally belong to them. Meaning he can slowly but surely extract Akuryo energy out of him!

Yang: The Akuryo...I should've known...that crimson shade was a dead giveaway...

It was at this point when the students started to notice crimson energy slowly leaking out of each and every one of the mouths occupying your whole body. Even the giant one on your torso.

You were also starting to shrink back to your normal size, but no other physical changes could be seen. At least not yet.

You skidded across the ground on your feet as you trembled with pain and exhaustion. The majority of the Akuryo energy was well out of your system at this point.

Y/N: H-Hu...Hurts...

???: Y/N!

You and Vegeta then looked over to see Kirishima approaching you slowly. Vegeta went wide eyed at the sight of this and quickly yelled at the red haired man.

Vegeta: ARE YOU STUPID?! DON'T BE A FOOL! GET AWAY FROM HIM!

Kirishima: Y/N...Please...I don't want to fight...I can't bare to anymore...

Y/N: Red...BLOOD...MUST...DEVOUR!!!

Without even thinking you lunged towards Kirishima who hardened his skin in response. However they look in his eyes were something nobody had seen before.

Not even a centimeter away from him, you came to a complete stop. Your eyes widened, your mouth open in a surprised manner, everyone was in awe at this.

Kirishima: I know you're in there. Fight! You've been carrying all of us on your shoulders all this time...now it's our turn to help you...

You growled and let out a quick roar before leaped back and opening your mouth up wide. Firing a Ki blast from your throat that headed right for Kirishima.

Everybody went wide eyed at this. Midoriya reached out to him in a panic, but Kirishima remained still. The blast zooming right past him and exploding in the distance.

Your eyes widened once more at this, and in response you fired three more. All to which missed entirely and hit boulders in the distance.

Kirishima: I knew it. You won't hit me...you really are still in there...aren't you? What that Devil guy said...he was wrong. You can come back.

Y/N: Grrr...GRAAAAAAAAAH!!!

You suddenly lunged at Kirishima at full speed as nobody knew how to react. However, instead of just standing there this time, Kirishima clenched his fist and punched you right in the face.

And to everyone's surprise, this actually sent you flying. Not by much, but enough to lift you off the ground.

However what they didn't notice until much later was that tears were being shed as you fell over. Kirishima shedding a few tears as well upon seeing this.

Everyone: Y/N, COME BACK TO US!!!

You then suddenly started to shine with a bright blue light slowly emerging from your chest area. Eventually this light engulfed your whole body as everybody covered their eyes from the brightness.

Eventually this light faded as bits of sparkles floated in the air. In the distance, everybody spotted you standing there, reverted back to normal. At least for the most part.

Your eyes had no shine to them, and you had no energy signature at all. You were just standing there unconscious.

Yang: Y/N!!!

Everybody then came running to you as Yang caught you before you could fall over. Everybody surrounding you with worried looks on their faces.

Midoriya: Is he breathing...?!

Lotus: No, nothing, he isn't breathing, I can't sense his energy, and his heart isn't beating...!

Akko: S-So he's...!!

Yang: No. He's not dead. I feel something...just...barely...but it's something!

All of a sudden a loud explosion occurred in the distance as this this grabbed everybody's attention. The Celestial Devourer letting out a loud and painful roar as a white light filled that whole area in the distance.

Kasai: I...I feel my power coming back to me!

Lotus: Now that you mention it, I can sense my powers coming back as well! Maquist must've pulled it off!

Kasai: Yeah...good thing too...

Lotus: Hm...?

Lotus then looked up and went wide eyed for a moment, but gained a serious look on his face as he and Kasai stood up next to one another.

Issei: Guys...? What is it...?

Kasai: Good thing we've got our powers back...

Lotus: Because the REAL battle...is about to begin...

Everybody looked up and saw just what they meant. All of them feeling an unpleasant chill run down their spines.

Meanwhile the other students who were just finishing off the last remaining Grimm also noticed this. All of them going wide eyed and gasping.

Blake: I-Is that...?!

Rias: It is. It's "Him"...



Lord Korizen
