THE Decisive Strike

400 13 6
By The_Nocturnal_Raven

Sadako was underwhelmed by this new fogbound killer. For someone who put Izuku Midoriya out of commission for two whole days, the Shapeshifter was a disappointment to actually fight... but she shouldn't have thought that. It was merely a bad matchup. This girl couldn't hit something that could demanifest, and Sadako could throw her around, toy with her as much as possible. She was sure he'd have no qualms about killing this particular... vermin. After all, she attacked Inko, the kindest, most saintly woman on the planet. No, he wouldn't mind at all. 

However, as soon as she went to commit to the deed, holding the blonde up by the throat, the wall by the elevator broke down, and the Entity's Avatar arrived. Throwing the Shapeshifter at her, the Avatar didn't move as the blonde passed through her, and out of the hole in the wall. This was where the true fight would begin. She was no match, but that wasn't the point. This was where she had to hold the line. If she failed... everything would be for naught.

And she couldn't do that to Izuku.












Izuku, now focusing the immense energy he collected, started the process of what he was making. He'd need absolute concentration. Carefully, turned inward, slowly adapting his body to being able to use the rift energy to its fullest potential. It was painful, but necessary... Next, however, was the most important part. He created two very, very specific items, and altered what he already had. A Book, similar in design to Vigo's Journal. It's main purpose was to store Izuku's knowledge. He also decided to alter the Auris. Strengthening its power, and storing excess rift energy. Izuku's new body could absorb power from the universe around him, but this book would store excess power his body could never handle. Meanwhile, the other item was a beautiful blade of titanium, gold, and red fabric, in a European style with a cross guard with a 120 degree angle. The blade's edge was made from a silver glassy substance, similar to the iridescent addons that the Entity crafted. When he was done, the book rested on the ground, the Auris, now reinforced, swirled in his left hand, and his new blade in his right. Just as he opened his eyes, Nezu's office doors barged open, he could only barely see Sadako's form launched past him, and into the wall with a loud bang and scream of pain. The greenette wanted to help her, but not with who was in front of him. And his eyes widened when he saw who was with her.











The Entity didn't only feed off hope. It was just the most satisfying, most enjoyable emotion. And like most creatures, even she had her preferences. Second closest was despair, third closest was fear. And as soon as she entered with Izuku's mother, that was what she could feel coming off the boy who dared defy her. And it was glorious. "I remember what you said to me last time our paths crossed, Izuku Midoriya... what was it you said? The first strike in a war. You were right about that, but I won't die. Not to you, not to anyone. I refuse that fate... and I have the reassurance..." she gently caressed the face of Inko Midoirya, "That you'll surrender. Your world is doomed."

"Not as long as I have hope!" Anger laced Izuku voice as he swung his blade, sending forth a wave of energy... which left Inko completely unharmed, but it did hurt the Entity. She recoiled, dropping his mother to the ground. Inko gasped in a small 

"How..." She glared at him, and then started to attack Inko. Izuku was forced to charge, chopping at, and cutting through, entity claws, to attempt to save her. And he was just in time. With the Auris, he projected a barrier, several times stronger than their last encounter, and he was able to fight back properly.

HOW?! HE IS ONLY HUMAN... It was then that she got an idea. Turning towards Sadako Yamamura, at the other side of the room, she attacked her unconscious form.

Izuku barely saw her attack, and projected a second barrier. One of them would fall. He couldn't just tank every hit. But... he showed no signs of faltering. How to break the stalemate...? Oh, I know...







As Toga Himiko fell, she didn't know what to think. She was jealous of that other girl, having a relationship she wanted, but she was... surprisingly okay with that. After all, that wasn't the main person she wanted to be with. Only one... and yet, he wasn't here. It was then that she landed with a sickening "Crunch!"

The battle roared around her, massive metal clad behemoths, human soldiers, against killers and monsters. And yet, she didn't fit in with any of them.

It was then that she heard familiar explosions. Bakugo quickly arrived, and was shocked to see her down there. "Himiko?! What..."
"Sorry, babe. Got thrown off the building. That black haired bitch of Izu's... heh..." The pain was starting to numb her other senses. Funny, that. The vampire freak dies of blood loss... "Don't think I'll be getting away from this one. Just promise one thing, Kay?"

He nodded, for once without anything to say. I don't think I've ever seen him like this... it's kinda cute that he's like this 'cause of me... She quickly grabbed the back of his head, pulled him down for a quick kiss, then said, "Get payback on that bitch."

She couldn't hear the explosive blond's own scream of anguish as her brain shutdown from exsanguination. Turning towards the administrative building, and launched himself up there. There'd be hell to pay.










Izuku was only barely holding the tide. He'd repressed the Entity before, but both times she had underestimated him. This time she did not. Now, the greenette slowly edged towards Sadako, eventually being able to drop the second shield when she came under the protection of the first. Slowly, she awoke, and found Izuku protecting her with Inko still tied up. How was he able to protect her, and myself?! Why is she tied up? Horrified, Sadako called out. "Izuku?! What's going on?!"

With grit teeth, the greenette only told her. "Get Mom untied! The Entity had her when she arrived."
"Right!" So, the Shapeshifter actually fell off the building. I wasn't sure. I should make sure he can focus on the barrier! Quickly untying her, they stayed within the shield, only watching as Izuku kept them both safe... until Inko said, "Izuku, look!"

A new form had appeared from the shadows. Tall, with a pressed suit and no face. A killer they hadn't gone against before now, and certainly one they knew was powerful. The Operator.

It was then that a smile creeped onto Izuku's face. Not knowing what he was thinking, Sadako watched as he then tapped into a reserve, and pushed all of the entity tendrils back with a blinding explosion, before raising his sword with both hands, the blade glowing blue-white, and light streaking upwards, just like before... Nobody could bring themselves to move, only watching in awe as he channelled the sheer power of the immaterium, the supernatural energy of the Auris, before he eventually yelled, "FOR TERRA!" At the same time, he swung his blade, slamming it downward, before looping it back up in an entire circle. The two Avatars of the Entity recoiled, as if something major had been done, but the Onryo didn't know what. In the confusion, the Onryo asked, now clearly confused. "What did you do?!"

"The ultimate decisive strike." Was all he said, grinning maniacally at this point, before the woman, the Avatar of the Entity, screamed at him, "What did you do to me?! Why can I not..." her face paled as she turned to look at the other one. The Operator did the same, and it was then that Sadako understood.

He just tore the Entity in HALF!
