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.

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...
