Trump Card (Part 11)

Chris made the first move, charging towards Void. The villain took the attack head on, blocking the punch. Shoto had to hold onto her flames. She had expected Void to jump away, but now she couldn't shoot him without hurting Chris. Void began to use powered up punches, aiming for Chris's head. Chris narrowly dodged each one. Void jumped away, accidentally jumping right into Kirishima's arms. The redhead held onto Void. "Got ya!" Chris jumped forward. Void gritted his teeth and focused his rage into his legs, jumping up into the air with Kirishima in tow. Kirishima looked down. "Wait, where are we going?!" "Down." Void kicked straight up into the air, rocketing the two back down. He then adjusted in midair so Kirishima would hit the ground. The redhead, figuring out what was happening, hardened his back and closed his eyes. Chris jumped up into the air and slammed into the two, preventing them from hitting the ground directly. The three of them ended up rolling across the ground. Void was quick to his feet and jumped away, narrowly avoiding Shoto's fire. She swore. "He's too fast for us."

All Might wiped the sweat away from his forehead. "Only Void is left now." Principal Nezu nodded. The door swung open. Nezu and All Might turned, half expecting to see a villain. However, it was just Momo carrying a police baton in one hand and supporting Eri on her back with the other hand. All Might stood up. "Momo! Eri! You two are alright!" Momo set Eri down and the two entered the office, locking the door behind them. Momo walked straight to Nezu. "What's going on out there?" Nezu also looked back at the cameras. "The only villain left is Void, and your friends are facing him as we speak." Momo's head snapped towards the camera Nezu was referring to. Sure enough, Kirishima, Chris, and Shoto were fighting Void. Momo took a shaky breath. All Might, who was comforting Eri, turned his head to her. "They'll be just fine." "No, they won't." Momo blinked some tears away. "Void is dangerous. He doesn't just know our techniques. He knows our personalities and habits. He knows what makes us tick. He knows exactly how to beat every single one of us. Not only that, but he is now actively trying to kill them." Momo sat down in All Might's seat. "Even if those three are enough, I really don't know if they have what it takes to kill someone with the face of our closest friend. At the end of the day, Void is still Jason."

With a shout, Chris charged forward, unleashing a flurry of powerful punches. Jason ran backwards, blocking every single punch. This was what Chris wanted: Void was now on the defensive. Void turned his head to the right and noticed Kirishima rushing in from the side. Chris used the momentary distraction to land a solid kick against Void's left side. Void's eyes widened as the pain set in. Then Kirishima went in for the punch. "Red Gun Turret!" Void managed to jump into the air, holding his side. Chris raised both his hands up, aiming at the airborne Void. "Florida Smash!" Using close to 60% of One for All, straining his hands to their limit, he fired eight consecutive shockwaves at Void. The villain spun and dodged the attacks. However, those too were merely a distraction. "Apocalyptic Shock!" Void's eyes widened, knowing that attack name. However, it was too late. Void screamed as Shoto struck him with intense fire and ice. Shoto held the attack for a full ten seconds before stopping. Void fell to the ground. Chris and Kirishima cautiously approached him. Void coughed as he struggled to stand up. His black and purple costume was in shreds at this point, and the cape was partially on fire. Kirishima stepped on it, putting out the flames. Void glared up at Chris. "You… you lot…" Void smiled. "...did a good job…" Chris managed a slight smile. Then a gunshot rang out.

Chris turned his head towards the noise. Even with One for All, Chris was still too slow to react. However, almost completely out of nowhere, Jason leaped forward, taking the bullet to the gut. As Jason fell, Chris could see where the shot had come from; Mr. Compress had come out from behind a tree and was aiming a glock at him. In a fit of rage, Chris powered 100% of One for All into his index finger and fired a massive shockwave that crashed into the Mr. Compress Clone, killing him instantly. Chris was too angry to acknowledge the pain from his now broken finger. In the chaos, Void used what little strength he had to sweep Kirishima;s feet out from under him and roll back onto his feet. He sprinted back through the forest. He linked up with Shigaraki: the real Shigaraki. "The mission is a failure. We need to get out before any of us get caught." Shigaraki, both angry and annoyed, nodded in agreement.

Shoto made it to Jason and rolled him over. "We need to put pressure on the wound!" Before she could put her hands on her boyfriend's stomach, she froze. Chris looked. "What? What's going on?" He saw it. "...oh…" Kirishima held his head as he approached. "...where's all the blood?" Jason winced as he looked at his stomach. Then he froze. A look of horror came over his face as he pulled the red dart away from his stomach.
