CHAPTER START---

SHAMBLES!

Horizon suddenly appears beside Kido and Onima, two of Endeavor's Sidekicks that are guarding Kurogiri.

"What's going on?" Kido asks, seeing Horizon still standing on the hoverboard. "I thought you guys were going after that big thing?"

"Didn't you hear, two dozen High-End Nomu are coming this way for Kurogiri?"

"Communications went down when Machia' ran off," Onima says.

"Damn it," Horizon looks in the direction of the incoming Nomu, seeing them all flying toward him. "I need confirmation from Pantu before I just warp Kurogiri to a holding location, otherwise these things might be able to track him somehow."

"What do we do?" Kido asks.

"Just focus on staying beside Kurogiri, let me deal with the Nomu, I need to finish this then go help in Dagga city," Horizon draws his blade and begins hovering slightly higher above the field.

"Shouldn't you be more focused on the people in the city!?"

"Kurogiri is worth more than one city of people," Horizon says. "He's vital to Shigaraki, and since he said Machia's variety of Warp was entirely unique, they probably don't have any more warping Quirks."

"Horizon?" Pantu's voice reaches his ears. "Are you there?"

"I'm here, did you beat their signal jammers?"

"No, we were forced to reconnect via public satellite frequency, so be careful of what you say and do, it won't be long before the public begins recording everything our cameras and mics pick up."

Horizon grumbles lowly, "24 High-End Nomu on me, what's the status with Machia'?"

"You've got a few minutes before he gets to the city, evacuation won't be done before he gets there but we mapped his path and will at least have the middle of the city empty, hopefully we can keep the fight there while the people complete the evacuation."

"Good," Horizon raises Scalpel to point at the approaching Nomu. "When I'm done here I'll drop Kurogiri off at a safe place then go to Dagga."

"Copy," Pantu says as Horizon warps forward.

He suddenly swapped places with the second to last Nomu in the pack, sword perfectly aligned with the Nomu at the back.

The Nomu at the back continues flying forward with its massive bat wings causing Scalpel to easily pierce its skull up to the hilt.

At the same time, the Nomu he swapped places with looked down at Kurogiri and rocketed toward him, only for Kurogiri and the remaining heroes to be warped away.

The moment Horizon pierced the Nomu's skull, the others turned to swing at him.

SHAMBLES!

He swaps back with the Nomu in the clearing while swinging his free hand out to the side, toward the Nomu's head.

As it raked through the air, motes of green energy gathered around his hand before collecting in his palm, and with the sound of a hard smack, he palms the Nomu's skull.

GAMMA: STRIKE!

The radiation surges through the Nomu, irradiating its skull and brain, completely killing it in an instant.

"One down, 23 to go..."

A dozen Nomu and a few minutes later, Horizon finds himself on his hoverboard in the air, caught in a dogfight like he's never experienced before.

Limbs are being stretched and enlarged to strike at him, multiple Nomu breathing fire, causing him to either use Curtain to block it, or more frequently use Booster Shot to coat himself in protective energy, matching the flames.

A dance of swords and Quirks occurs, almost seeming graceful from the viewing eyes of Kido and Onima, as well as all the viewers that have tuned in.

It took barely a minute to word to spread about this operation after being forced to use public channels.

Pro Heroes from all around the country were rushing to Dagga city to help in either the fight or evacuation.

And most of the country, alongside much of the world were watching through Horizon's camera, and listening to every sound of exertion he makes that his mic captures.

"REEEEEEEEE!" One of the Nomu's body vibrates as it releases a high-pitched sonic attack in all directions, while flying only inches away from Horizon.

BA-DUM!

Horizon's eyes go bloodshot as his nose and ears begin bleeding.

SHAMBLES!

He warps behind the Nomu and slams a palm into the back of its skull.

As the radiation attacks its body the vibrations now have direct contact and shred the muscles and bones in his left arm, causing immense pain, but still, he maintains contact for the seconds it takes to kill the Nomu.

"Argh!" he warps away, arm hanging limply at his side until a wave of healing energy emerges from it and coats it, all while he continues fighting.

'Well at least they aren't going after Kurogiri,' he thinks as the fight rages on.

After killing two more Nomu, he slashes on of the smaller ones across its chest, and barely notices a shining light emerging from beneath the skin.

SHAMBLES!

He warps away just in time to avoid the massive explosion of electricity as the creature self-destructs only inches away from him.

BA-DUM!

His headache is growing, his heart is pounding against his chest.

He can feel the inside of his body glove becoming more uncomfortable as ever so often he collects injuries.

Moments later a Nomu swipes at him with its massive claws, and he manages to block with his sword, reaching toward in the same moment to grab its head and kill it with radiation.

Only for it to surprise him.

The downward slash it did with both hands activated a Quirk it had never used before in the fight, causing ten blades of invisible wind to slash down against Horizon as he was reaching out.

SHAMBLES!

He warps away, avoiding most of the attack, but the top of his visor and his skull were pierced, causing blood to begin getting absorbed by the mask below.

With the new cracks atop his visor he warps behind the same Nomu and grabs its head, instantly killing it.

BA-DUM!

He stumbles for a moment, and another Nomu takes that chance to strike forward with a punch.

Thoughts blurry Horizon reacts on instinct and raises a palm to the fist.

ANTIBACTERIAL CURTAIN!

A blue dome is erected around him, protecting him from all sides as he hovers in the air.

The impact of the fist sends a shockwave through the forest below, but doesn't even crack the shield.

He begins taking that moment to catch his breath, pushing aside the pain in his mind, forcing Hand of God to stay active in this fight.

But a wave of invisible force slams into him, knocking him off the Hoverboard and disrupting his focus enough to drop the shield.

He feels his own Body Glove and Hero Costume crushing and wringing his body, almost hard enough to crack his bones.

Seeing the same Nomu who attacked with its fist in the same position he realized what was going on.

'A secret telekinetic Quirk it didn't use till now huh,' he thinks, but this attack only lasted for a split second before he used Takt to regain control of his items.

But a split second is all it takes to change a fight.

So the instant Horizon reached out and grabbed the same Nomu, who was still frozen in place since it was using its telekinetic Quirk, he felt a warm sensation in his torso.

"Hng!" he flinches for a moment, ignoring the five blades piercing through his back and out of his belly, made entirely of solid white light, and formed out of the chest of a Nomu behind him.

The Nomu behind him morphs its neck and head, stretching forward and growing, attempting to bite Horizon's head off, a mouth filled with sharp and jagged teeth excitedly extending toward him.

Horizon ignores that for now and quickly pumps raidation into the Nomu who used the telekinetic Quirk against him, then spins around with the sword still in his torso.

They slash and tear his flesh, muscles, and bone as he twists, swinging his arm wielding the radiation at the NOmu who was trying to bite him, and in one motion pierces its skull with Gamma: Knife.

As that corpse falls to the floor, now just like most of the others unable to use its Quirks because of the radiation damage to the brain, Horizon turns around on his hoverboard to see the final Nomu reentering the fight after being knocked away earlier.

He still holding his heavily bleeding torso as it rockets toward him via flames firing out of its back and abs.

"Ok, what's your gimmick," his voice, for the first time, allowed the public to realize that even Horizon can get tired.

But he couldn't think about his public image right now, he was more focused on the fight.

As the Nomu gets closer its eyes flicker bright blue for a moment.

CRACK!

Horizon hears the sound of shattering metal from his Hoverboard as it suddenly loses power, Scalpel tries to fly out of his hand as he's falling, but his grip is so strong that instead, it pulls him upward.

'Magnetism,' he thinks before swapping the Nomu and Scalpel, allowing him to easily make contact with its skull and fry its brain.

SHAMBLES!

He warps into the treeline beside Kido and Onima, who are staying hidden with Kurogiri.

"OH god, are you---!" Horizon raises a hand to cut Kido off as he leans back against a tree.

He was still holding his bleeding torso, but a thin layer of blue energy quickly gathered around it which caused the bleeding to stop.

"Pantu, status?" Horizon asks as he checks the condition of his Hero Costume.

His shirt, jacket, and vest were completely shredded due to all the different types of attacks.

Discarding them he reveals his Body Glove, in which most of the white fabric was now red, blood-soaked.

His visor had a crack at the top of it, but he easily took out his spare and swapped them.

"How are you still alive?" Kido asks, eyes wide and amazed, as is everyone who saw that fight through Horizon's camera.

"Gigantomachia is a few minutes away from Dagga, and I've double-checked security at location 3 for Kurogiri," Pantu says.

"Right, I'll be there in a minute," Horizon says as he takes a moment to catch his breath.

He feels the pounding headache fade away, and is thankful Hand of God didn't shut off on him during that fight.

"I can't believe you won that," ONima says. "That fight was insane, two dozen High Ends...my god."

"My thoughts exactly," Shigaraki's voice is projected through the area. "How did you do that?"

Horizon stands up, holding Scalpel at the ready, "What, months of research, putting together a team of two dozen Nomu and Machia all perfectly designed to kill me, and you thought that would be enough?"

"They almost did," Shigaraki says.

"Welcome to the real world, where 'almost' doesn't count," Horizon says.

Shigaraki grumbles a bit, then scoffs, "With the resources we put into these 25 creatures, we could have overthrown countries, but you just had a be a pain in my neck...enjoy your near-death victory, because these Nomu were nothing compared to what Machia' will do to you, and you won't survive that one."

"Big talk from a guy who won't fight me himself," Horizon says.

"Why would I bother fighting someone that's hacking the game..."

They wait for a moment, but Shigaraki doesn't say anything else, allowing Kido and Onima to finally breathe.

"I hate that guy," Kido says.

"Don't worry, I'll put my hands on him eventually," Horizon says as leans back against the tree.

"Are you sure you'll be ok man?" Onima asks.

"Doesn't matter," Horizon says. "Machia will get to the middle of Dagga, then his secondary command will activate, he'll start killing anyone he finds then move to the next city. Unless I'm there, since if I'm there he should ignore everyone else until I'm dead, so regardless of how I'm feeling, I have to go."

"What about your friend, can't he give that thing a new command?" Kido asks.

Horizon begins walking over to Kurogiri, "Before he became a full Nomu, probably, but Nomu get commands via some kind of frequency or radio Quirk Shigaraki uses, copying a voice won't work."

"Damn it," Kido frowns. "Ok, can you warp us to Dagga while you take Kurogiri away, they'll need all the help they can get until you're there."

"Yeah..."

---Daaga City, Minutes later...

News helicopters and drones were swarming the city, getting the position to record every moment of the upcoming fight.

Some of these drones were even following Gigantomachia as the monster carved a path through the nation in a straight line toward the city.

Endeavor was still giving chase, having left Burnin behind miles ago as she simply couldn't keep up with their speed, but still, nothing he did had any effect on the monster.

Looking ahead as he's flying, he sees a highway filled with people, most of whom are marching out of the city since the roads are too crowded with cars.

Daaga city rests behind it, he rockets ahead, past Gigantomachi and higher up to observe the situation.

He sees the city being evacuated, but toward the outer regions, there are still massive amounts of people and traffic.

In the distance, he sees a legion of boats sailing away from the city, already filled with as many civilians as they could possibly carry, and likely even a bit extra.

Noticing Gigantomachia is about to trample the highway he realizes something was wrong here.

'They were supposed to lead the civilians away from the angle Gigantomachia would be entering from just to avoid this, did these people not listen to the Pro Heroes here?'

Trying to think of a solution, he's greeted by a voice he hasn't heard in months.

"Endeavor!" Nejire-Chan yells out as the flys up beside him, looking at the villain trampling its way toward them on the horizon.

"Nejire-Chan," Endeavor says. "Where's Ryukyu?"

Nejire-Chan points toward the far side of the city, "she's flying out the bedridden patients from the hospital, the roads are filled with too many cars."

"Then I guess you and I will have to be enough, we need to launch Machia into the air," Endeavor says.

"Ok...what?" Nejire-Chan looks at him confused.

"There are too many people here, they won't all make it out of the way in time, and look down there," he gestures to the edge of the city Gigantomachia will be entering from. "There are crowds at the perimeter of the city there, but maybe you and I have enough power to push him over them, his command should make him continue to ignore them and run to the middle of the city."

"That's...a terrible idea," Nejire-Chan says.

"I know, but our Quirks won't do anything to him, if you can raise a platform below him I can help push it with my flames, he won't have any leverage in the air to fight against it."

"I really don't like this," Nejire-Chan says one last time as Machia' is only a few hundred meters away.

"This is the most we can do," Endeavor says, "Our Quirks can't help in this kind of fight, but that's not our job. Because being a Pro Hero, is about keeping people safe, not beating villains, this, is our job."

Looking around at all the scared and desperate people trying to get away from the city, Nejire does her best mean face, which still turns out rather cute, and flys toward Machia', ready to sacrifice it all to save the people behind her.

Like a true hero would.

Endeavor is beside her as they fly forward, and now she can see Machia' as the two-story monster of muscle and flesh he is.

"SPIRAL WAVE---!" Nejire-Chan charges up all her power, devoting every drop of her vitality to this. "GR---!"

SHAMBLES!

Gigantomachia suddenly disappears, and the sound of a loud crash is heard from within the city.

Nejire-Chan and Endeavor immediately spin around and rocket into the city.

"That was too close, did you secure Kurogiri?" Endeavor asks into his communicator as they're flying toward the battle, already seeing a skyscraper falling in the distance.

"He's captured and hidden, now come give me some help here," Horizon says.

"Help? Since when do you need help?" Endeavor asks jokingly.

"Since Shigaraki designed 25 Nomu, including this titan, specifically to kill me, now c'mon!"

As they arrive at the city center, they see Gigantomachia exactly as he emerged from the ground, charging at Horizon and throwing pieces of buildings or entire vehicles at the hero, only for him to constantly warp about and dodge everything.

"Do you have a plan?" Endeavor asks as they hover above the battle, landing on a building to observe.

"Keep dodging until a lot more people get here," Horizon says. "I need more resources, more people, more Quirks to plan around, more options."

"Can't you just cut him in half or throw him into space?" Nejire-Chan asks.

"They gave him a variation of Warp, it's much weaker and just lets him return to wherever he was warped away from. That's why I had to warp him here, since getting here was his goal he wouldn't leave. It's designed to keep him on the battlefield."

"I see, they knew that would be your first instinct, which it was," Endeavor says. "You did instantly warp him to the ocean floor when he showed up."

As the battle is going on Nejire-Chan notices Horizon moving slower, his body sluggish, and all the blood and damage on his Hero Costume.

'He actually can get hurt, fighting two dozen High-End Nomu must have been hard, especially when they're built just to kill you specifically...'

Nejire-Chan snaps her fingers, having a great idea, "What about the move you used to deal with the other Nomu today, if they were designed to kill you then it would probably work on this guy too, right?"

"Even if I was fresh out of bed I don't have nearly enough energy to use it effectively on this guy, he's too big."

As the fight continues, more and more Pro Heroes arrive, including Ryukyu.

AMPUTATE!

Horizon slashes vertically, and splits the road for miles along with Machia', but the Nomu puts itself together yet again.

Eyes go wide all around the world as the slash reaches from the middle of the city, 13km away to the ocean, a thin line only an inch wide.

Machia' doesn't even flinch, but Horizon notices its body acts slightly differently.

SHAMBLES!

He suddenly swaps places with Endeavor, throwing the man into the fight without warning.

Endeavor launches a wall of fire to shroud himself before flying upward, then looks back at his previous location to see Horizon gone.

"I need a minute, stall him," Horizon says through their earpieces. "If I can pull him apart long enough then I can Scan him, and we can attack his weakness directly," he says before going silent.

"Alright, everyone with ranged attacks, don't stop firing!" Endeavor yells out as he leads the dozens of Pro Heroes into the battle.

As soon as Horizon leaves the battlefield, Shigaraki's grating voice begins booming through the city.

"Running away huh, can't blame you, Machia' is a titan of a different class, and he hasn't even registered a single threat here," he gloats. "The new foundation of his body, his Titan Quirk, it causes him to physically grow in response to any danger he senses, and he hasn't even grown an inch today, which means he can't even use his more fun Quirks yet."

"Tch, then we'll destroy him before he can," Endeavor says while launching wide blasts of flames at Machia's eyes.

"If you want me to call him off, just give me, Japan," Shigaraki says. "Otherwise I'll just break it down to rubble and rebuild it how I want..."

---1 minute until Ascension...

"Endeavor, I'm ready, get everyone away from him, then I'll swap with you," Horizon says through the earpieces.

"Everyone scatter!" Endeavor yells while flying toward Machia'.

The entire main street of the city was rubble, city blocks blasted apart or demolished by the Nomu.

There was a 300m -900ft- circle where not a single building was left intact. All around this zone the news helicopters and drones drank in the sight of this battle, gladly transmitting it to the masses so everyone could see the heroes struggle.

Eventually, as most of the Pro Heroes got away from the fight, Endeavor was the last, as instructed.

He sends blast after blast of flames at Machia', not focusing on the heat and pressure of them, but the width of the columns.

His only goal was to blind the monster for as long as possible, giving everyone a chance to keep their distance, and their lives.

A handful of Pro Heroes are already dead, mostly from the sheer destruction in the wake of Machia's charges.

"Get close to him," Horizon says, and Endeavor instantly rockets toward the monster, at the edge of the destroyed zone.

As he's closing in Machia raises a giant hand to swing at Endeavor...

SHAMBLES!

Horizon appears in his place, Scalpel in hand, and slashes down at Machia'.

The moment he swapped places with Endeavor he shrank his Room, only big enough for the move he was about to do.

AMPUTATE!

Just as he noticed earlier, Machia's body was slower at knitting itself back together, something had changed.

'I didn't imagine it, his Quirks must be causing his body to degrade...' Horizon thinks as he warps away, swapped with some rubble on the opposite side, and slashes down again.

AMPUTATE!

SHAMBLES!

Over and over again he does this, appearing as a flicker in hundreds of places at once, as if he suddenly learned to clone himself.

"Wow," Nerjire-Chan's eyes go wide. "But he said he doesn't have a Super Move."

"He doesn't," Endeavor says. "This regards this more like an attack combo."

Seconds later Horizon stops, and Machia' is diced into thousands of pieces, mixed in with the rubble on the floor.

His head, neck, and right shoulder are intact, too healthy for Horizon to separate from the rest of him.

SHAMBLES!

Horizon doesn't hesitate to warp up to him and place a hand on the back of Machia's head.

SCAN!

A surge of information floods his brain, then suddenly the information seems to multiply many times over, increasing by magnitudes in an instant.

BA-DUM!

BA-DUM!

BA-DUM!

"ARGH!" Horizon yells out as the headache sets in, his brain hemorrhages, eyes, nose, and ears bleeding.

He stumbles back as Hand of God shuts off to protect his brain from destroying itself.

In the same instant, the seemingly unconscious Machia's eyes shot open as a spike of flesh formed on his head, and pierced Horizon through the right thigh.

Before anyone could process what was happening Machia's pieces warped back to his main body, and he shook his head, causing Horizon to fly through the air.

As he's falling, Nejire-Chan and Endeavor rocket toward him and Ryukyu just stands back and watching, conflicted on what she should be doing.

But before they could catch him, Machia had reformed, and with all his might he formed a fist that was larger than Horizon's entire body with his right hand.

FWOOSH!

The air pressure from the punch he landed on the falling Horizon caused Nejire-Chan and Endeavor to go rolling through the air before catching themselves.

They steady themselves just in time to see Horizon skip across the battlefield, slamming into the rubble and debris before embedding himself in the second-story wall of a far building.

His right leg which had been pierced was entirely gone now, from mid-thigh it had been torn off by the force of that attack.

His visor was cracked, and the right eye and forehead area missing to show a bloody mess below.

Gigantomachia stopped for a moment, unable to hear Horizon's heartbeat, then released a victorious roar.

"RAARRRRRRRRRHHHHHH!" The entire battlefield shakes as people all around the world are left speechless.

And as the monster instantly turns its attention back to Endeavor, Shigaraki laughs.

"AAHAHAHAHA!" His wild manic cackling echoes through the city, instilling a new sense of fear in the civilians and even some Pro Heroes.

"Dead, just like that!" Shigaraki gloats. "That moron, he really thought we wouldn't learn anything from his fight with my master! We knew that Scan ability of his was his strongest ability and his weakness, and he really fell for that trick.

Giving Machia the ability to shut off his bodily functions and healing Quirks to lure him in worked better than I expected!

Now, Machia, kill them all and bring me Horizon's body!"

"FLASHFIRE FIST!" Endeavor screams out with a new sense of hate and anger as he launches a concentrated column of fire at Gigantomachia.

Some of the other Pro Heroes join him in the fight, willing to fight to the death against the villain.

But a handful of them crumble to their knees, feeling their hopes crushed and wills broken.

All across the nation tears are shed, as the news cameras all focus on Horizon's body, stuck in the wall, still clutching Scalpel tightly in his grasp.

"Ryukyu, get Horizon's body away from here!" Endeavor commands as he has Machia focused on him, but Ryukyu is still frozen in shock staring at the corpse.

For a few seconds, Endeavor shows why of all these people, only he could be the #1 Hero, because only he stands against Gigantomachia.

And the rising star Nejire-Chan rushes off in the direction of Horizon's body, not paying any attention to her frozen mentor.

Machia ignores the girl and moves to swat at Endeavor, just as the man prepares to unleash his strongest attack, gathering his flames above his chest.

BA-DUM!

The monster flinches, and a chill is felt across the battlefield.

All the hairs at the back of Endeavor's neck stand up, as if there was an immense danger behind him, yet Machia was standing in front of him.

But the monster was frozen in place, its gaze lifted, looking past Endeavor.

ROOM!

A sense of dread washes over the entire city, and miles surrounding it.

The entire world begins to shake and rumble, buildings for dozens of kilometers crack and fall apart, and rubble around the battlefield floats in the air.

The air itself becomes more stiff, making it hard to breathe.

Endeavor feels his heart rate speed up as a new surge of adrenaline flows through him.

A new sense of fear blooms in all living things for dozens of miles around, in the world itself.

Endeavor's flames flicker out without his command, causing him to fall a few feet to the ground.

The news cameras pan around, and while entire buildings are floating, skyscrapers begin torn from the ground and sundered in the air, the ocean at the coast, was almost a mile away.

As if the waves were running away from the city itself.

Endeavor musters his courage and turns around, leaving Machia' at his back, to see the source of this phenomenon, and his eyes immediately fall onto Horizon.

He was still stuck in the wall, but the crack in his visor was releasing a fountain of thick energy vapor, the blood-soaked areas of his body glove were saturated in it, causing the blood to become mist and blow away, revealing the glowing blue lines between the plates.

Endeavor swallowed nervously, and before he realized it he was backing away, steps only quickening as the entire building Horizon is lodged into crumbles apart for him to fall to the floor.

In the time it takes him to fall two stories, his entire right leg regenerates before their very eyes, allowing him to land roughly and crack the ground.

The glowing blue leg was exposed, yet it appeared as if it were made entirely of blue energy, he was simply releasing so much that they couldn't see the flesh below.

Everyone watching this didn't realize it, but they hadn't taken a single breath since his presence was felt, and deep down, they knew why.

Because this thing, this was not Horizon.

Not yet.

This was a being of pure instinct and power, and every fiber of their beings screamed for them to run away and never look back.

Endeavor was the first to snap out of this state, not because he had the will to overcome, nobody does, but because of what he saw.

He had unconsciously backed up, stepping past Gigantomachia who he'd turned his back to without realizing it.

Realization dawned on him, that he was this much more scared of Horizon than the titan.

But then he noticed something, Gigantomachia was scared too, the titan was now 25m -82ft- tall, five times the size it had been all day.

'It grew in response to the new danger,' Endeavor realizes as he now consciously takes cautious steps away, raising a hand to his earpiece.

"Clear the area, we don't want to be here when they start," he says quietly, but nobody moves, they were too terrified to even hear him.

Horizon raises his head, gripping his sword, and for the first time in months, Hand of God didn't fight him.

Now after death, all the Quirks had become perfectly in sync. He'd found what Dr. Ujiko took centuries to discover, that the only thing powerful enough to force proper Quirk assimilation, is the innate desire to survive.

That alone will force them to work together, that is why the Nomu must be corpses.

And that alone, is the baseline primal instantly, in absolute control of Horizon's body.

"RAARRRRRGHHH!" Machia' rushes forward, his skin becoming tough scale armor and his muscles bulking up as he closes the distance.

Finally sensing a threat, Horizon's instincts kick in and pilot his body.

A surge of power like never before flows through him, bringing a feeling of adrenaline and bliss as it manifests as thick blue vapor, some of which falls to the ground as a liquid before evaporating.

"ARRGHH!" Horizon's roar echoes for dozens of miles, far beyond the city and surrounding mountains, shaking the world around him as he swings Scalpel upward.

The blade is instantly coated in a bright blue energy, and as he swings it through the air an arc of that same energy fires toward Machia, growing to the same size as the monster before colliding directly with him.

What would later come to be named, 'Divide', the first of his many, many new abilities to be created with his newly realized power...

END CHAPTER---

Ok, so a few things. 1, I realize people are excited about this and I do read the comments, so I decided to minimize the inevitable cliffhangers by making this mega chapter to get us into the real fight before the end of the week.

2, this chapter was a few hours late because I had to write and edit it, sorry about that.

3, I'd really appreciate some reviews or any support really :)
