MHA: Time Manipulator

Kimika, barely regaining consciousness after all the strikes and injuries, lay on the floor, unable to rise due to the excruciating pain. Her body refused to obey her, and even her thoughts were scattered by the suffering. She painfully watched what was unfolding, hearing Eraser Head's words. 

And though her heart was filled with pain and anger, deep down, she couldn't help but agree with him. He was right—she was nothing but a burden to Toga. If it weren't for her, Toga could've easily escaped, and, more than that, she wouldn't have even taken on this mission. She realized that all these problems arose because of her. 

"Hah, you don't understand. She's better than me. She just lacks experience and confidence," Toga said, still trying to break free from the binding cloth and continue the fight. 

"I disagree," Eraser Head responded. "She's just holding you back... If you have any interest in her, you'd be better off not taking her along."

The words that came from Eraser Head's mouth struck deep into Kimika's heart. She felt a surge of bitterness and helplessness wash over her. Her soul was overwhelmed by guilt, for it was because of her that Toga had found herself in this dangerous situation. 

Kimika knew she should get up and save her friend, who still believed in her, but the unbearable pain that coursed through her body kept her lying there, paralyzed. 

And though the physical pain that pierced her body seemed unbearable, it was nothing compared to the anxiety and regret tearing her apart inside. This emotional storm drowned everything out, even the pain, as she realized that her inaction might have been the cause of Toga's loss. 

Determined to save Toga, Kimika immediately activated her quirk, hoping to regenerate enough strength to rise. She focused on feeling even the slightest relief, just enough to give her the ability to move forward.

Fortunately for her, she was behind Eraser Head, and he didn't notice her actions. All her thoughts were focused on one goal: to win, to save Toga, and to prove that Eraser Head was wrong. With every passing second, her resolve grew stronger, and it seemed as though her entire body was responding to these thoughts. 

Something inside her shifted — her heart and mind exploded with new energy. Her left eye, which had been blue just moments ago, began to change color, gradually turning into a deep red. 

And the more red her eye became, the faster her regeneration accelerated, as if it were transferring all the energy from her left horn to speed up the process, something she had never been able to achieve before. 

Only a few seconds of recovery — and Kimika was already ready to stand. She gathered all her energy and determination, and without hesitation, lunged at Eraser Head.

Eraser Head, hearing the movements of the girl he had just brutally beaten into unconsciousness, was stunned. He couldn't believe she had recovered so quickly. Given how savage his blows had been, she should have at least spent a few days — if not weeks — in the medical ward before she could even think about standing up. 

Kimika, gathering her last strength, launched herself at him like a battering ram. It was something he hadn't expected, and he wasn't prepared for her to be able to get up and attack with such fury and speed. He lost his balance from her strike and fell. 

But Kimika didn't stop. She continued to land blows, though all her attacks were chaotic — hitting whatever she could reach: legs, arms, back, stomach, head. Her strikes were filled with rage and desperation, but due to the lack of a clear plan, Eraser Head quickly shoved her away with a kick, getting back to his feet.

Kimika, seeing Eraser Head charging toward her, desperately tried to understand his next move. Unaware of what she was doing, she listened to the voice deep within herself. It was a quiet whisper, one that she managed to decipher this time, something she couldn't do during her previous attempts. The whisper said only three words: "Acceleration... Eyes... Brain."

Feeling there was no other choice, she decided to break the vow she had made to her mother. Listening to the voice echoing within her consciousness, she deactivated the effect that was active on her body and focused it only on her eyes and brain. Since the effect was now concentrated solely on these parts, it became far stronger than when it affected her entire body.

This meant that she would continue using her quirk beyond its limit, pushing past its boundaries. While her body would begin to suffer as a result, at that moment, it was the last thing on her mind. Her consciousness was solely focused on one thing: to defeat Eraser Head and save Toga.

Accelerating her eyes and brain, another figure of Eraser Head instantly appeared before Kimika — red and smoky, like a ghost. At first, she didn't understand what was happening, trying to dodge the blow from the spectral figure that was about to strike her in the stomach. But at that exact moment, the real Eraser Head delivered the same strike that the red figure had just mimicked.

In an instant, thanks to her accelerated brain, Kimika realized that she could now see his movements in advance, perceiving the future just a few moments ahead. It was more than just prediction — she could literally see every one of his movements before they happened. 

An internal realization flared in her accelerated mind. She began dodging his strikes, each time successfully counterattacking.

Eraser Head couldn't believe his eyes. Just moments ago, he had called this girl "trash" and defeated her effortlessly. Now, she was dodging all of his strikes and consistently countering.

No matter what strikes he landed, she continued to dodge them, and the only thing he could do was attack in a way that prevented her from counterattacking. 

Seeing this incredible change, Eraser Head began carefully analyzing everything that was happening, trying to understand what had made her so strong. He watched every change he could notice. And suddenly, he noticed that her eyes were constantly shifting position, as if looking far ahead, beyond his current location. It was as if they weren't focused on his present position but something else, like his future movements. 

And then he realized: she could see his strikes before he even delivered them, as if she were peering into the future, looking directly at them. She could foresee each of his movements. 

He also noticed another strange detail — blood started flowing from her eyes and nose, as if she were pushing past her limits. But despite this, she ignored the pain and continued attacking. 

Eraser Head, finally realizing what had happened, understood that the girl was using her quirk through her eyes. Until now, he had been mesmerized by the growth of her strength and potential, wanting to see if she could show him anything more, but now that he realized he was starting to lose, he quickly gathered his strength and activated his quirk to erase her abilities and end the fight. 

After that, the girl immediately lost her ability to dodge his attacks, which only confirmed his suspicions — she really could see the future. He seized the moment and mercilessly knocked her to the ground, immediately binding her. 

His gaze stopped on her eyes, which were now defenseless, bleeding, and had taken on a gray, lifeless hue — like those of a blind person. He decided to act flawlessly, not wanting to make another mistake and give her another chance to rise. He knew that as soon as he gave her a chance, she would try to attack again.

Realizing this, he immediately thought about binding her eyes and hands with his Binding Cloth, making it incredibly tight so she couldn't untie herself. He didn't want to risk testing whether she could get up again after a stronger blow to the wall. 

After tightly binding her eyes, he started wrapping her hands, but a question suddenly popped into his mind: What about the other girl? Wanting to turn back and check, he barely had time to see her already lifting a trash bin to strike him. 

The blow to his head sent him flying backward, and the girl began landing knife and fist strikes, completely throwing him off balance.

"Ha-ha-ha!" Toga began laughing, breathing heavily, and finally stopping, still in disbelief at what had happened in just a few seconds. She looked at the helpless Kimika, who lay motionless on the ground with her hands and eyes bound. 

"You… you… did well… I told you… you're not weak… you just… lack experience…" 

"I… I… did it…" Kimika admitted, still not fully believing it herself. 

"Yeah… you did it… And now…" With these words, Toga looked at the helpless Eraser Head, who wasn't even moving, with an incredible desire to kill him. But at that moment, Kimika intervened. 

"Stop… let's go… now… heros will come… here… and you… promised me… not to kill… anyone… remember?" Kimika said, breathing heavily and pausing after almost every word to catch her breath.

She couldn't believe she was saying this, given the bitter experience of the recent situation, but... she dreamed of becoming a hero. And she was doing all of this for her father. Killing a person or even a hero who was just doing their job, even if they had offended her in the process, was too much. 

"HA-HA-HA-HA! Eraser Head, consider this your second birthday! If it weren't for the one you called trash with zero potential, being so kind, today would have been your last day. But… I can't just let you go like that… such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime," Toga said, pulling out a syringe and several small vials. 

She quickly began the procedure, carefully collecting his blood in the containers, trying not to miss a single drop. Her hands moved confidently and quickly, as if she was accustomed to such situations. She finished the operation in just a few seconds.

"That's it… now let's go, get up..." Toga said, untying Kimika's hands but leaving her eyes bound, knowing she wouldn't be able to see anything anyway. 

"I… I can't… I can't feel my body…" Kimika said, trying to stand, leaning on her friend. However, she kept falling, unable to move her limbs properly. 

"Ugh… damn... I'm not in the best shape either..." Toga said, groaning in pain as she felt her body screaming from exhaustion. But still, it was a far better condition than Kimika's. 

After these words, Toga slowly lifted Kimika and threw her onto her back. Kimika, gathering her last strength, wrapped her arms around the girl's neck and secured her legs around her waist. And slowly, they left the place. 

Eraser Head, who had been hanging on by the edge of consciousness the entire time, watched the scene, trying to analyze everything that had happened. As a hero, he tried to understand more about these two: the fight, the ability to see the future, the sudden surge in strength, and the principles of the girl he had previously called trash. 

With his last strength, he uttered: 

"You've proven it… you're far from having zero potential…" — but his words went unheard, as the girls were already far away. 

He knew he had to report these two to Nezu. And hearing the approach of others, likely his teammates or police officers, he finally lost consciousness.

And so, this battle that took two chapters has come to an end. I hope you're not mad at me for splitting them up? If you are, the cat offers its apologies…

On a lighter note, Kimika is still sticking to her principles — I wonder how long that will last, considering she's seen that it's causing them problems, both with Rena and possibly with Eraser Head in the future, who will undoubtedly want to catch them. And also, Nezu will find out about them… I'm curious to see how that plays out. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Important note: I'm not downplaying Eraser Head and his strength — he's undoubtedly incredibly strong, but I mentioned that he had been working all day and was quite... exhausted. Also, we can see that he didn't take them as seriously as he should have. If he knew the full extent of the danger these two posed, he would've been much harsher to make sure they couldn't rise again. So, to all the fans of this hero, please calm down!
