Chapter 17: REBORN
"NO NO, DON'T GO DEKU, NO STAY WITH ME, STAY WITH ME" Uraraka screamed in the hope of waking me when she saw my eyes lose light.
My eyes got wide open, and its green color faded, and the white took its place.
She pushed my open stomach to stop the bleeding but that was useless.
Meanwhile...
"DIE" Bakugo shouted while his hand was full of sparks.
The explosion covered Nomu from head to toe and blew his body with the wind.
The body regenerated at a monstrous rate, and he launched a fist at Bakugo.
Like an iron wall, the ice stopped the flesh cannon and pierced Nomu, he broke the ice however there was another explosion sending greetings to his face.
At that time, he should have blown his body away because even without a head, a hammer landed on the body of Bakugo sending him flying.
It was too late but not that useless with a small explosion that he could make in such little time, he put his body away from the straight force of Nomu's hammer.
He was flying near the surface with that white mind of the shock, even if he evaded the most damage, his brain was dancing in his skull.
There was a redhead to catch him when near smashing into the ground "All fine?"
"Let me!" he shouted at him, Kirishima nodded and put him down.
At first, he couldn't take a step and went to fall however Kirishima held him "I think you should go call the help, I'm gonna help Todoroki."
"Shut the fuck up, I'm all good as I'm ever now let off me" he shouted with sparks in his eyes.
Kirishima let off his hand and when that happened the ashes covered his face.
Bakugo charged to the nomu at full speed.
The black boulder that was breaking the ice of Todoroki was sent to the sky by a volcano rage uppercut.
In the sky, he reformed his body again to find Bakugo screaming in his face "IN OUT EXPLOSION"
His hand opened a cut in his skin, the other one was raising the heat from the inside to detonate him in-to-out.
A flash that was followed by the voice of destruction and burnt flesh. Nomu that lost all above his ass like a broken kite crashed on the ground.
Due to the high force the dirt and dust around where Nomu fell rose.
The dust was their enemy at that moment; giving the Nomu a cover.
"Round face, what's his state," Bakugo asked with eyes on the dust.
She cried, her head facing the ground "There's no beating" She couldn't raise her voice either or look at the face of the corpse between her hands.
"What did you say, round face" he was out of his mind and didn't need any shit like talking in a low voice to save their states from being discovered.
"HE IS DEAD" she cried holding my hand not able to move.
The chill ran down Bakugo's spine and he didn't believe it, he turned to face her "WHAT ARE YOU SA-"
Todoroki was near to hear and was shocked, but his eyes never left the dust cloud as a reason he was able to see the cloud moving.
Todoroki shouted "Pull yourself together" for the first time from the start till now that was the first time he spooked, and he shouted that was a moment for history to record.
Nomu flashed forward at the moment Bakugo lost his guard.
Kirishima interrupted the way and took the wrecking ball.
He was sent to lie next to Uraraka "fuck his hands are too heavy!"
Bakugo was sent far away after Kirishima with the same wrecking ball, but he managed to control himself in the air and evade most of the damage, unlike the first one that ended with some broken bones.
"WATCH OUT ROUND FACE" Nomu was charging with his insane speed toward Uraraka and me.
Kirishima stood in the way of the fist.
He was sent flying to the sky and the next second there was a war hammer falling from the sky on us.
Todoroki's quirk wasn't fast enough to reach, Bakugo was too far to reach, and Kirishima was already sent flying.
We were alone facing death at that moment.
No use for Uraraka's quirk, her mind state was a shattered glass, and for me, I was out of service.
The hammer fist was falling at the speed of light.
The world put our names on the dead list of the year, yet I had more things to do before going on that list.
The eyes that once lost the light were shining bright as the stars, two pure emeralds were wide open looking in desire, fury, regret, and most importantly insanity.
My hand touched the ground and bam I was in front of him, my palm facing his chest ready to push.
The falling hammer was out of sight, the whole Nomu was out of sight.
The distractive sound and the wrecks that fell from the roof told us where he was, I didn't know where I sent him.
I stood on my feet straight and sharp.
my body told me what to do and also the little one put the information in my head.
white and skinny veins got out of my body, like blood veins but their color and how they moved around me like furious snakes, a rare kind of white mamba whipping around me and cutting the air in full rage making whistles sounds.
my clothes were torn apart in the process most of my clothes went with the wind like how the idea of midnight when you understand existence disappears when waking up in the morning.
those veins wrapped me and started their work.
I felt like I was in hell feeling every cell of my body regenerate and reform, my nerves raged, the pain was unimaginable, and it was some level of pain that I had never experienced but it was more than satisfying and the carving in me asking for more was something new as well.
The blood spread around me and the crying Uraraka was covered in it
The veins cut, destroyed, separated, and deteriorated every part of my body however I felt that they were planting some wings on me, I felt my body being fixed I didn't know how I knew what was happening but I still knew every moving red cell in my blood and every sodium ion that moved in my nerves to produce pain the smallest details before the huge one.
Like a newborn baby, I had clear skin no scars, and all my organs were well functioning, that was something beyond fix or reform it was something MORE.
The veins started to shrink and melt in my body till they disappeared.
I stood in confusion until the wind of answers hit me.
I was REBORN
I opened my eyes and saw Manami smiling at me, the black holes that filled her eyes started to fade away, and the color of her eyes was nearly seen again.
I put my hand on my face checking if it was gone, and it was gone, the mark that reminded me every second of my worst, the scar that had been lying on my forehead for years was gone.
My hand moved touching my mouth to find that there was no smile on it.
My other hand moved to support, the first smile that I would put on after my reborn, I made it remarkable, unforgettable.
My two indexes went up and pulled my lips with them and landed next to the moon, but my lips went higher reaching the limits of my face and reaching my ears.
I had two shiny emeralds and a vast crescent in daylight.
Among the cold, the smell of ashes and iron, and the crimson land around me, I felt like home somewhere I should belong or at least a part of me felt like that part screamed in me 'WELCOME BATTLEFIELD, WELCOME HOME'
The crying Uraraka behind me saw it but what she saw wasn't insanity but insecurity, someone pushing through everything to act like that was not his nature and her kindness moved her as well as her worry.
She was happy to see me alive, too happy to care for anything, and she ran to hug me "you are alive you are alive I thought we lost you you I thoug…" She just hugged me and cried not even connecting their words.
I wished that I hadn't made her worry that much or even had the chance to calm her but all I did was push her away.
I pushed her away and put my hand above my chest.
I was taken in the way by the truck that smashed into my palm.
I smiled in the face of Nomu feeling good to see him suffer more down my hands.
My other hand landed on his head and at a rapid speed, I took my hand away pulling his brain out of his skull.
He attacked even without the thing that should give him the orders.
I pushed his hands to each other; he turned a little giving himself the time to perform a windmill smash however at the same time he gave me the chance to put my hand on his body.
"Counter effect" I pulled what was touching my hand and pushed the rest tearing him apart.
I had his left chest in my hand.
In a second, he was standing as if nothing had happened but to me, there was a big difference he was smaller and such damage took him a full second and he managed to reform from fully crashed to the best state, all leading to one conclusion, he was getting tired.
He turned his face in front of me and headed for Uraraka who was still in her place 'Did he obtain any brain cells or what'.
He charged toward her, I followed him with the speed, but I was a little late to catch him, fortunately, there was Bakugo to blow him away.
With my palm, I pulled his hand off his body and pushed it to pierce his head.
I rushed near them. Kirishima and Todoroki reached for our place too.
"Uraraka, go, take Eraser Head, and leave" At first, she hesitated but not like Ida she acted fast making her decision.
She nodded and headed for him.
I gave the three a look with my eye and a knife landed in my hand.
I took a very deep breath to find a black hammer in front of me but the next second I could see the sparks and the smoke, the ice and the water clouds, the blood and stones.
Nomu was flying backward with every part of his body in a different place.
I put my hand on the ground and the knife on it and then "push."
'Let the second round start.'
