CHAPTER START---
---2 Minutes 40 Seconds Remaining...
Machia gets back up and charges into the fight once again, only to be hit in the back of his head by Hodori.
As his face is sent toward the floor Buakaw crouches down and focuses even more energy on his arms.
'Virya Blitz!'
As if the world entirely froze, with Machia's face only inches away from him, Buakaw unleashes two thousand punches so fast that it once again appears as a golden burst of light.
BOOM!
The shockwave from all the punches is combined into one because they effectively happened simultaneously.
Machia is launched into the air and slams onto his back.
As he's on the floor Hodori crunches into a prowler's stance, rocketing forward, destroying the ground at his feet and the sound barrier in his way as he slashes at Machia's jugular once more.
This time up to his forearm sinks in, but then he immediately withdraws his arm and leaps away as the giant swats at him.
Seeing the incoming hand he leaps up and kicks it away, but Fierce Gains is working overtime now.
The same Quirk that had Machia's skin and muscle toughen around Hodori's arm moments ago, trying to crush it to pieces in the wound. Also causes the giant's entire body to harden even more.
And Hodori's kick connects to barely do any damage, only knocking the arm away.
Feeling completely pissed off by the toughness of his opponent, Hodori's muscles bulk up as he goes further into his transformation.
His claws now begin glowing red as his eyes leave a red trail of light with every movement.
"JUST DIE!" Hodori screams as he charges forward and punches Machi in the head.
A flurry of relentless blows that would make almost anyone into a corpse.
The wind and tremors from his attack has rubble and debris blowing toward the edges of the battlefield.
"Together!" Buakaw screams as he comes down rocketing into Machia's forehead, six arms crashing down like thunder.
---1 Minute 10 Seconds Remaining...
Flying across Japan on his hoverboard, Horizon has left the other heroes behind simply because they couldn't fly as fast, or as far.
Looking at the fight being projected into his visor, he's on the phone with Nezu discussing exactly what is going on.
"Are you sure UA is safe?" Horizon asks.
"Completely, this is Shigaraki trying to take a place on the international stage."
"By killing two #1 Pro Heroes?" Horizon asks. "Sounds like a fast way into the grave."
"Hmm, in most cases yes. If a #1 Hero dies in his own country that's fine, but to have one die in another country would be a massive blow to that country, and demand retaliation.
This is why most villains don't attack heroes when they travel abroad. If Buakaw or Hodori die in this battle then the United Nations Hero Department will have to send heavy hitters to Japan to wipe out the league.
Because allowing Shigaraki to exist after something like that would simply make all heroes look weaker, and potentially set the precedent for him to hunt down their top Pro Heroes one day."
"I still don't see how this is a win for him," Horizon says. "Nobody can deal with Star and Stripe knocking on their door, even with Gigantomachia..."
They see Buakaw and Hodori still trading blows with the villain, but this time the fight strays out of the park slightly as Machi knocks Buakaw through some building a few blocks away.
But Hodori takes center stage to draw all eyes onto him for Buakaw to get back in the fight.
"True," Nezu says. "But that may not be the point."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he doesn't have to get everyone after him, he simply has to show that he's willing and capable of atleast starting the fight, even if it's only until Star and Stripe enters the battle."
"So this is all a publicity stunt, a show of force?"
"Possibly...but either way, I fear that Japan is already in shambles. The fact that a villain felt comfortable enough to attack our guests, and our Top Pros weren't around to help, it's a bad look."
"So on the international stage---"
"We're on our own, that much is already certain..."
---15 Seconds Reaming...
With Machia constantly getting up no matter how much they try to rattle his brain, Buakaw and Hodori are more annoyed that exhausted.
And for the first time in his life, Buakaw was actually concerned about the bell, this round was about to finish, and the fight wasn't anywhere near over.
With a low growl, he leaps away from the battle, leaving Hodori to deal with Machia for a moment.
Making a fist with each hand he covers his chest, the intense golden glow from his arms becomes much brighter, and all eyes fall to Buakaw as he unleashes something he hasn't been forced to use in decades.
"Virya Burst!" he releases a blood-chilling battle cry as he flexes his arms, now bulked up with seemingly intricate golden armor covering them.
His arms are many times bigger, with golden energy pouring off of them, an intimidating yet inspiring sight. Thailand's Pride in full effect.
"RARGH!" he screams out and flies forward, not leaping or running, flying, propelled by his own energy.
Before Machia can react the golden meteor slams into him, causing a shockwave so large that it knocks Hodori and the news helicopters that were high above away.
14
As Machi is thrown through the air Buakaw accelerates, flying below Machia and punching upward with his left arms.
BOOM!
13
Another golden explosion sends the giant flying 15m -50ft- into the air, only for Buakaw to continue.
12
BOOM!
Another uppercut as Buakaw soars above the nearby buildings.
10
BOOM!
With another uppercut, Machia feels his brain rattling around his skull, seconds in and out of consciousness.
8
And finally, as they're 90m -300ft- above the ground, instead of an uppercut Buakaw holds onto Machi.
6
"Virya Toss!"
"RARRGHHH!" Both combatants roar as Buakaw spins Machia and tosses his down toward the city, collapsing everything for hundreds of meters.
His absolute faith in his wife and the other heroes allows him to fight recklessly.
4
"VIRYA CRASH!" Buakaw screams as he rockets down, like a golden beam of light, sent by the heavens to smite this villain.
The ensuing shockwave causes damage which they're be trying to calculate for months to come.
And when the dust and light dissipate, Buakaw is standing on Machia's chest, panting heavily, slouched over, arms bleeding and hanging at his sides.
0
His Quirk entirely shut off, all the golden power now gone.
Because his Quirk can only last for 3 Minutes in stage 2 -the six armed state, The Art Of 16 Limbs-.
After this, he needs time to reset, and the more energy he uses in that time, the longer the reset.
But nobody has ever lasted more than 1 round, or even more than 1 minute against that state.
Looking at Machia, they see his eyes rolled back in his head as he lies unconscious.
Buakaw takes careful breaths, his body aching as he tries to move, to look strong, another clean knockout.
But unfortunately, this is Gigantomachia, he's the furthest thing from 'normal'.
He was the blueprint for the Nomu, and even now they can't properly replicate this success in another subject.
He's just different, and it's largely thanks to his own original Quirk.
Hodori's primal instincts feel this in effect, and he immediately rushes in.
ENDURANCE!
R̷͚͉̭̞̰̗̍̊̓̾̕Ą̴̡̛͉̰̙͉̱̲͕͉̯̎͌̔̓͘̚͜Ẅ̵̨̛̛͖͕̜̱͙͇̳́̒̎͘ͅW̷̘̥̍̒͌̕W̶̭̤̦̍͛́̆̄R̷̦̾Ģ̷̖̂́̓͑̓̽̂͑̍͐͒̚͝Ḡ̴̬͖̲̿̀͘͜H̷̢͉̘̘͚̞̝͊̊͜͠!̷̡̧̼̖̌̓͐̌͆̓͐́̈̊͝ͅ!̸̨͚̙̹͕̝͍̲̮̪̘̒̈́̊͌́̎̍̏͑̿͝͠ͅ
Machia's eyes snap back to focus and glare directly at the powerless Buakaw.
Machia immediately slams his hand onto his chest to splatter Buakaw, but Hodori had already begun moving and thankfully gets him out of there.
"What the hell, a second wind?" Buakaw asks as Hodori sets him down at the edge of the battlefield.
Both heroes watch Machia get up as if he had another adrenaline surge, the lingering injuries remaining, thankfully he can't heal. But his stamina just seemed endless...because, in some ways, it was.
Quirk: Endurance, converts morale into energy. In simple terms, his superpower is to never give up, to be relentless, and to fulfill his master's order no matter what.
And with a one-track mind like Gigantomachia's, he's a perpetual motion machine while on task.
"Tch, do we wait for someone with a more suitable Quirk?" Hodori asks, glancing at Buakaw who was trying to save his energy.
"Horizon is still atleast an hour away, and Endeavor is even further, we need to end this," Buakaw says. Forcing himself to stand on his own.
"Can you?"
Buakaw looks at Hodori, then at Machia who was staring at them, clearly hurting but about to start charging anyway. "Time..."
"You'll have it," Hodori says as he takes a few steps forward, standing between both men. "Tch, I hope this doesn't scare the ladies too much," he grumbles.
The sound of his bones cracking and breaking reaches Buakaw as Hodori's body begins expanding and bulking up even further.
The white fur covered his entire body as the black tiger stripes spread out.
In a matter of seconds, he takes his full regal white tiger form, and his stripes begin glowing slightly, flickering red like his claws as he stands on all fours. Before they become solid red, overflowing with primal power.
Standing at 3m -9ft- at shoulder height.
"Hodo---" Buakaw's words are cut short as Hodori turns around and swipes at him, thankfully the man inside the beast control it just enough for the attack to miss.
Buakaw stumbles back, keeping his eyes on Hodori, now realizing why the hero would rather die than use this form in most cases.
Without someone powerful enough to warrant it's full attention, everyone becomes a target.
And when you're the most powerful person in your country, that's not a risk you can take.
"HEROES!" Machia screams out, thankfully causing Hodori's attention to snap to him instead.
Hodori leaps forward as Machia charges, but only lands a few meters away from Buakaw before taking a low stance.
Buakaw can feel the air being pulled into Hodori's massive and powerful lungs, almost pulling him off his feet.
"GRRRR RRAAARRR!"
Hodori's roar hits like the blast wave from a nuke.
Tearing apart the entire park to such an extent that it was dug out for a few meters.
People for miles in every direction were forced to cover their ears.
And even further beyond that, the frequency of his roar caused living things to become paralyzed with fear.
Keeping the roar going he sees Machia trying to power through it.
Even as his eyes rupture and explode out of their sockets.
Even as his blood vessels begin to burst and pop.
Even as his eardrums instantly shattered, thanks to his enhanced senses.
But Gigantomachia could still smell them, laboring against the blast wave he digs in his claws, moving barely a few steps within a minute.
And after five minutes, Hodori finally reaches his limit.
Feeling his lungs burning and tasting his own blood in his mouth he's forced to stop his constant roar.
The tiger shakes its head and sways for a moment, feeling lightheaded before standing strong, only to see Machia speeding up his approach.
And Hodori immediately prepares to do that all over again.
Until a golden light shines behind him.
"Virya: The Art Of 108 Limbs!"
Looking behind him Hodori is truly humbled by the magnificence of Buakaw's strongest attack.
Standing in a prayer stance with his hands together, a manifestation of his prayer beads made of the same energy float around his neck.
His solid white eyes are glowing a radiant gold as 100 solid-energy arms are spread out behind him, protruding from his back to make a large circular shape.
Hodori, now reverted back to his hybrid form, immediately gets out of the way as Buakaw begins moving his hands.
Slowly and deliberately shifts his right hand into a fist while the left is flat with the palm facing forward, and all the arms behind him copy his right hand.
And as Machi makes his final approach...
"Virya: Enlightenment," Buakaw says in the softest and most compassionate voice.
Inviting his foe into a new life...
RRIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
The sharp ringing caused by all the energy released into the air travels for miles in every direction, and it's immediately followed by a wave of light that outshines the moon in the sky.
And all that's left is Gigantomachia laying on his back in a 100m wide glowing golden crater, and as that glow too fades, the broken giant is finally defeated.
Buakaw feels all his energy gone, he'd need atleast a week before he can use his Quirk again, but this victory was seemingly worth it.
Hodori stands beside him at the edge of the crater, sporting a few new injuries which were very slowly healing, he stood a bit too close to the blast zone.
The world cheers for these heroes, and the greatest battle that never should have been, but they couldn't even enjoy a moment of victory...
'Warp Gate'
A flood of purple mist swarms the crater, enveloping Gigantomachia and whisking him away before they could capture him.
But as the Warp Gate shrinks, it projects Shigaraki's voice far and wide for the city to hear.
"Nngh," he gives an annoyed growl, then calms down. "You people really call us monsters, when you worship people like that, what a bad joke. But atleast now we have a baseline...Machia will be ready next time..."
A lethal promise to the world.
And just like that, All Might's era of peace in japan is officially over, and the age of chaos begins once more...

CHAPTER START---
At an undisclosed location, Shigaraki was currently sitting comfortably on a couch playing on his phone.
Taking his role as the now true leader of the League Of Villains seriously, after being forced to grow up since All For One was locked away he's slowly becoming someone his master wouldn't be ashamed of.
Standing behind the couch to his left is Kurogiri, dutifully waiting for the signal for this meeting to begin.
At as his other side is Spinner, his right-hand man who was currently also playing on his phone, in a racing game with his boss.
In front of Shigaraki is a coffee table with an identical couch on the other side, and a moment later Kurogiri receives the signal that the intended guest is ready.
"Master," Kurogiri says. "Dabi has sent the signal."
"Tch, just when I was about to win," Shigaraki groans, but immediately puts his phone away.
"We can have a rematch later," Spinner says with a light chuckle, always one to enjoy time with his friend.
But as the Warp Gate opens across from them he immediately puts on his most intimidating face. As intimidating as a lanky lizard man with a 'greatsword', -which is just a collection of smaller knives stuck together-, can be.
The first out of the Warp Gate was Dabi, their resident half-burnt Elementalist.
Blue flames that are stronger than his father's, but even Endeavor doesn't know his son is alive. Only Dabi knows this truth.
His usual black leather trench coat was missing, and his body had some shallow gashes, his entire torso exposed to show all the burnt skin usually hidden away.
Ignoring his state he just lazily walks to the side of the room as the next person walks out of the Warp Gate.
Himiko Toga, their resident blonde school girl, her uniform splattered in blood and her hair loose to flow down her back instead of the usual two messy buns.
Tentatively licking her lips that were still dripping blood.
As their infiltrator she had the least combat of everyone, and made it out nearly flawlessly.
"Some of those guys were real weirdos 'Shigi!" Toga whines as she skips off to the side to stand beside Dabi.
The next person to walk out of the Warp Gate was their resident S-Class threat.
One of three in Japan's History.
By definition, an S-Class individual is someone that can overthrow a small nation singlehandedly. Being powerful helps, but what's most important is having some unquantifiable X-Factor.
This is why, even with all their power, people like Endeavor, Buakaw, Hodori, and even Gigantomachia aren't S-Class. They have the firepower but can't feasibly suppress an entire country.
All Might was S-Class simply because of his power, endurance, speed, and stamina. His powerset is simple but it's so far beyond the scope of normal that he punched his way into this list.
Star and Stripe as well as Horizon are S-Class by default, it simply comes with the territory of their Mystery Class status. And the absurd shows of power certainly clear any doubt.
But with All Might gone, Japan now only has 3, still more than the rest of the world combined.
Horizon, All For One.
And Japan's 3rd is who walks out of the portal next---
"Heyooo!" Twice saunters out cheerfully, completely unharmed.
His Quirk: Twice, allows him to copy himself or another person that he's touched and has the measurements of, these copies can make additional copies which become progressively less durable, but they can all use the Quirk of whoever they copy.
There is no numerical limit to this Quirk, a potentially infinite one-man army.
Wearing his black skin suit with white stripes he's followed by two copies of himself, holding a bloody and battered Kai Chisaki -Overhaul- by his forearms, stopping him from using his Quirk.
As the copies drop Overhaul into the seat opposite Shigaraki, the villain looks at his new associate.
Standing at 5ft10 -179cm- Overhaul was a thin man, currently wearing a battered white t-shirt and green jacket with black slacks. His brown hair was matted to his head by his own blood and the usual plague doctor mask knocked off his face, exposing his broken nose.
Even with his seemingly almighty Quirk, he barely lasted a few seconds against Shigaraki's bodyguard, against Gigantomachia.
'Kai Chisaki, Overhaul, how far you've fallen...' Shigaraki thinks, recalling how proud the man was during the meeting they had with all Yakuza heads.
"WAKE UP!" one of the copies yells and smacks Overhaul on the head, startling him awake.
"Huh!" Overhaul's eyes immediately narrow as he sees Shigaraki across from him, but he notices Spinner and Kurogiri as well.
He immediately drops down in his seat, leaning forward to slam his palm onto the floor, broken fingers and all.
One touch to the floor and he'd be able to break it apart, break the entire room apart and reassemble it however he wants, instantly killing everyone.
But the moment his hand was about to touch the ground, he stopped, saving his own life.
Directly below his palm had suddenly become a sickly grey and begun falling apart, Decay.
"How about you just settle down so we can sort out the details..." Shigaraki suggests, his tone casual and relaxed.
Overhaul's eyes follow the Decay spot, running along the trail crossing the floor between them and leading up the side of the couch, directly to where Shigaraki's arm was on the armrest.
'Since when was his control this good?' Overhaul wonders, noticing only this one part of the couch affected, control similar to his own.
But Decay is a destruction that Overhaul cannot undo, touching that spot would have been fatal.
Narrowing his eyes at Shigaraki, Overhaul widely sits back on the couch, looking around, not seeing Gigantomachia thankfully.
"Alright, what do you want?" Overhaul asks.
Shigaraki relaxes back into his seat, "the same deal as before, but...a bit steeper this time since you made my friends have to do some work. You really should have agreed like all the other villain organizations. You're the only Yakuza faction that was dumb enough to try and resist after all..."
Overhaul is angered by hearing the Yakuza openly mocked, but bites his tongue.
"Your demands?" Overhaul asks.
"You'll be transferring some of your earnings to us, and of course be acting as our eyes and ears for certain things. Compress will give you the details when he gets back.
Normally that's the extent of it, but your payments will be larger than most simply because you made us go through the hassle of teaching you where you stand in my new world order, but..."
Shigaraki opens his hands to Kurogiri, who drops a single red bullet into his palm, tipped with a needle.
Carefully holding it between his fingers to avoid the needle, Shigaraki looks past the bullet and toward Overhaul.
"These Deleter Rounds," Shigaraki says. "Somehow you figured out how to temporarily destroy Quirks, how close are you to making the effect permanent?"
"...."
Seeing Overhaul being difficult, Shigaraki leans forward and pokes the coffee table with one finger, and a slow Decay trail begins moving from his single fingertip, across the table, down the leg, to Overhaul's foot.
"A few more weeks," Overhaul cracks and answers, and Shigaraki leans back once more.
"Hmm," Shigaraki hands the bullet back to Kurogiri. "I'll send some Nomu to protect the room you keep these in, for protection, and to keep and eye on the supply. Don't want you to get any stupid ideas.
You can use the Radio Nomu we'll be sending to communicate with us if something happens, I'll also be giving you a few more for muscle since these bullets are useful. But keep them in your underground hideout, if anyone knows you have a Nomu then---"
"Horizon comes running to investigate," Overhaul says. "I get it."
"Whatever, those are your instructions, welcome to the new world order, you Yakuza thugs are much better put to use under me, you should be happy."
Overhaul furrows his brow, unable to hold his tongue, "the Yakuza is a proud organization, we're a staple in Japan's underworld. With All Might gone we could have taken over Japan."
"Then why didn't you?" Shigaraki asks, almost jokingly.
Twice and Toga can't help but chuckle at bit, desperately trying not to interrupt the meeting.
"Because---"
"Because you don't realize that things aren't the same as when All Might was around, even with him gone the entire structure of the country has been shaken up."
Overhaul sits back to listen, curious as the what Shigaraki was talking about.
Shigaraki raises three fingers, "Japan currently has 3 Powers controlling it. Before it was just All Might at the top, but now there isn't that one Symbol above everyone else.
The first, is the Hero Public Safety Commission. They have all the heroes and the police, their heavy hitter is Endeavor, he's too much for any villain but Machia and some of our more specialized Nomu to deal with, atleast in their current states.
The second, is the League Of Villains. We control the Nomu as produce them. We also now control all of the Yakuza and any noteworthy gang or villain in the country.
Our heavy hitter is Gigantomachia, he's too much for any one hero to handle and everyone knows it. Plus we've got Twice to cause serious problems if needed.
See how it works, All Might was so powerful he could bulldoze anyone, so Heroes ran rampant during his time. But now Endeavor acts as a counterbalance to keep the other side in check.
But Endeavor isn't really that big of a concern when we've got Machi, its the 3rd faction that I'll be using your technology against. To weaken their support network so we can crush them."
"3rd faction?" Overhaul questions. "Another villain group?"
"No, Nezu, and his champion, his favorite student, Miracle Boy, Horizon..."
Overhaul looks completely confused by that, "he isn't included with the other heroes?"
"Oh no, our sources say he only answers to Nezu, and they seem to have their own agenda that our sources say raises tension with the Commission. I'm making you aware of this because if these bullets go public too soon then both those factions will converge on you, and I'll lose my secret weapons."
"I see," Overhaul takes a second look at Shigaraki, now realizing there was more to him than just destruction, there was a method to the madness after all.
He'd never truly follow him, but for now he could atleast see use in the other villains, "but why not attack UA when Horizon is in Tokyo doing hero work, if Nezu is the true leader of that faction?"
"Hmm, how do I put this?" Shigaraki scratches his head. "The way I have to give the Nomu commands to act, Nezu has to hold onto Horizon's reigns, apparently he's a bit...excessive, and obsessive.
Having him take orders from someone more gentle is in our best interest. And the time he spends at UA opens up a few days that we can get work done within Tokyo without him suddenly detecting us...somehow."
"But if my bullets delete his Quirk, then Gigantomachia can deal with the other Heroes, and game over for them," Overhaul says.
"Those bullets won't work on him," Shigaraki says, catching Overhaul off guard. "It's one of the many experiments we ran with the blood samples my master collected during their fight in the forest.
But don't you worry about Horizon, we're working on something to deal with him, you just need to go make my bullets, and keep your head down..."
'So Shigaraki has a way to deal with Horizon, and since my bullets can't work I should just let him handle that. Then I can just delete all their Quirk and make my clean world.
I'll just need to find another way to administer my cure to Gigantomachia, since my Quirk doesn't work on him its the easiest way to deal with him.'
"Alright boss," Overhaul says, playing his part. "I'll leave Horizon to you, and I'll contact you when the first batch of permanent bullets is ready."
Shigaraki looks annoyed at that but just nods, and a moment later Kurogiri warps Overhaul away.
Spinner and Shigaraki immediately take a relaxing breath, not enjoying having to 'play tough' in these formal meetings at all.
"Are all of you ok?" he asks Dabi, Twice, and Toga.
"Doing great!" Twice cheers.
"Never better!" Toga joins him.
Dabi just rolls his eyes at them and walks out of the room.
"Hey Shigi, since when do we have something to deal with Horizon?" Toga asks. "I thought you said to stay far away from him, I mean that's why we're all the way in the countryside instead of back in Tokyo, right?"
"We don't have anything yet, atleast nothing that I'm sure has a 100% win rate, but we will."
"Really?" Twice asks.
"Gigantomachia," Shigaraki says. "Now that the final notable villain organization is under our control, Ujiko can operate on him to add the new Quirks, with those even Horizon can't stop him.
Who knows, maybe he'll even be strong enough to challenge Star and Stripe..."
"One thing at a time master," Kurogiri warns him, because nobody was ready for that fight...
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Shigaraki immediately answers his phone, "Compress, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry boss, but I couldn't recover the item from I-Island, there was a villain attack while I was sneaking in and the place became a warzone."
"Are you ok?"
"Oh, yeah I'm fine, but this mission is a fail."
"There'll always be another mission, head back to the Warp Gate location, Kurogiri will meet you there..."
