CHAPTER START---
Horizon's energy slash collides with Gigantomachia before it explodes in a blinding blue light, knocking the giant off his feet and through the air.
The Pro Heroes and news teams widen their eyes in horror and amazement yet again as the titan clears the entire length of the battlefield, crashing into a 70-story skyscraper at the edge of the destroyed zone and barreling through it as if it were paper.
They watch Machia' land like a cannonball through the building before disappearing behind the other buildings, hundreds of meters away from Horizon.
"Horizon?" Endeavor asks, voice concerned as he looks back to the young hero.
Rubble all around the battlefield was constantly floating in the air and being held in place by an invisible force, causing Endeavor to have to push some of them aside to get a view of Horizon.
And when he saw him, he immediately knew they weren't safe.
Horizon was twitching, his limbs constantly moving, as if he were on a sugar high like no other.The blue energy was pouring off of him as mist or a glowing liquid that was pooling at his feet.
His blade was entirely glowing blue, coated in the same energy but much denser, to such an extent that the metal of the blade was entirely hidden.
The crack in his visor and his exposed leg were also glowing with a blinding blue light as they released the most energy, completely hiding any flesh beneath.
Seeing Horizon's constantly twitching and shaking, Endeavor raises a hand to his earpiece and speaks very clearly and calmly, "Expand the evacuation zone, and get everyone, including Pro Heroes, out of it, now..."
As the most experienced combatant on the battlefield, he noticed the signs.
Horizon's body language and surging energy made it obvious, atleast to him.
That he wasn't thinking clearly, making him potentially more dangerous than Gigantomachia.
But yet Horizon simply remains in place, not reacting to anything as the Pro Heroes quickly begin retreating.
His mind and body were being flooded with so much power that his higher brain functions were being overwhelmed.
His mind was adapting, but he needed time, and in that time his most basic instincts were in absolute control.
FWOOM!
Endeavor activates his Quirk, ready to fly above the battlefield to keep an eye on things while everyone else gets away, but the sudden appearance of fire triggers a primal response from Horizon.
Horizon slashes out, almost too quickly for anyone to react to, and a blue arc of energy rockets toward Endeavor.
The man propels himself to the side with his flames while also turning, making himself as tiny of a target as possible.
But he wasn't fast enough.
HELL'S CURTAIN!
Endeavor releases all his firepower at once to defend against the energy of the slash, the surrounding rubble instantly melts into slag.
But the arc of energy easily cleaves through the attack, and the #1 Pro Hero within it.
Endeavor barely manages to tilt his head away, preventing the top of the arc from cutting his head off as it takes his left shoulder and arm off.
"ENDEAVOR!" Nejire-Chan and Ryukyu both begin flying over to him, toward Horizon.
Endeavor, while lying on the floor, face down, bleeding out, in immense pain, raises his one good hand to stop them.
"Stay back!" He commands, creating a flame at his severed shoulder to burn the flesh, stopping the bleeding. "He's just reacting to stimulus, keep away from him!"
They look at Horizon, seeing him still unmoving now that the threat was seemingly dealt with, then back at Endeavor.
"We need to get you out of here, you'll die if we don't," Ryukyu says.
Endeavor looks up at her, his vision already fading, "focus on the evacuation...don't get close to him," he says between ragged breaths.
As the last of Endeavor's strength is fading, and everyone around the world is forced to watch Japan lose another #1 Pro Hero, a high-pitched humming is heard through the battlefield.
A pencil-thin line of red and black electricity fires through the buildings and rubble, between the point where Machia' was flung and Horizon.
The energy being released from Horizon pulses as he sprints forward, and the lightning barely misses him.
He runs alongside it toward Machia', only for the attack to suddenly begin expanding to the width of a road, coming directly at the hero.
Everyone expects him to do what he always does, warping away, but instead, the energy around him surges yet again as it becomes more dense, and the lightning now 10m -30ft- wide column of red and black lightning slams directly into him.
Ryukyu wastes no time in descending to scoop up Endeavor, and as she does so, she sees the silhouette of Horizon, glowing blue, running through the column of lightning toward the titan.
She and Nejire don't bother staying on the battlefield, immediately taking off with the injured Endeavor, who begins muttering a few words.
"Can't think, too much," Endeavor says weakly.
"Don't try to think, just stay awake until we get to a healer," Ryukyu says.
"No, Horizon, can't think, so can't warp," Endeavor says. "Too much, energy, need time, adjust..." Endeavor says before he stops talking.
As everyone is running away from the fight, Horizon makes it over to Machia'.
He's unable to perform the explosive feats of athletics like All Might or even Deku can, but with the energy flowing through him his running speed is beyond regular superhumans.
His bounds clear meters with each step, and running through the lightning attack gave him a direct path to the monster, hundreds of meters away into the city.
"RARRGH!" Horizon screams as he makes it to Machia' who is now 35m -114ft- tall, to compensate for the added power he'd have to draw from his Quirks to combat this threat.
Machia' responds and stops his lightning attack, instead hardening his fist as the tiny form of Horizon rushes directly toward him.
He punches forward with all his might, and his fist that's the size of a bus, exudes heat while glowing red.
Horizon makes direct contact, swinging Scalpel with both hands as he pours more energy into his body and the blade.
KRAKOOM!
The sound of thunder echoes out as a shockwave ravages the city, breaking every window and setting off every alarm that miraculously hadn't already gone off.
Machia's stumbles back as the armor on his arm immediately repairs itself.
But Horizon is sent skidding back a dozen city blocks.
His body couldn't hope to take that kind of force, nor the recoil from his own attack.
All the bones in his legs, arms, and spine shattered upon impact, but were also instantly healed.
His muscles tensed and flexed to hold everything together, his entire body stiffened as he was knocked away.
His feet remain grounded, sending him skating backward through the street, his one boot and his barefoot carving out a trench in the street as it crumbles against him.
The cars that were stuck on this road and abandoned during the evacuation either crumple against him or get knocked away as the energy flowing through and around him makes him seem indestructible to the outside viewers.
Machia' roars once more as he breaks into a full sprint, the backdraft from his sudden acceleration picks up entire vehicles and pieces of rubble as each step causes a quake throughout the city.
Horizon matches him, and somehow each of his steps causes even more shaking, for dozens of miles in every direction people could feel his footsteps.
As they get closer they clash one more, but this time at the last moment Horizon avoids the attack and sends an arc of energy at Machia's face.
The giant isn't even phased by the attack as he swats at Horizon, but the hero leaps up, onto the hand as he passes underneath him, and launches off it toward Machia's face.
As he's at Machia's face, ready to slash at him, the giant simply exhales, and with no leverage in the air, Horizon is blown away.
But before he can leave Machia's reach the titan swats upward with his hand, palming Horizon's entire body.
As he does this his palm glows bright red before erupting in a blue flame, and he releases a column of blue fire and red lightning from his palm, sending Horizon rocketing through a 90-story building beside them.
Horizon slams through the wall of the building, into the middle floors, and through every ceiling between him and the roof before he rockets out the top of the building.
A nearby news helicopter captures the entire thing and is amazed when he erupts from the top of the building, destroying the roof, and keeps hurting toward the sky.
The reporter and his cameraman stay with jaws dropped, eyes wide as they keep focus on him in the sky as he's still moving away.
"Can he survive that?" the reporter asks absentmindedly.
"Wooooo---!" the pilot yells as the helicopter suddenly jerks to the side.
The reports and his cameraman fall forward, but are kept aboard thanks to them being strapped into the cabin.
And only a hundred feet away from them 7 missiles of blue fire mixed with red lightning rocket into the sky.
The attack splits apart, and all seem to home in on Horizon as he's made it to the peak of his travel, beginning his descent.
They zoom in, trying to get an idea of what's about to happen, and the last thing the camera sees is Horizon's energy expanding for a moment before condensing onto his blade.
Arcs of his blue slashes begin raining from the sky, minding the fire and lightning missiles with ease as they rocket toward the city below.
The camera below the helicopter sees entire city blocks suddenly get minced into rubble with Machia's standing in the middle, seemingly annoyed by the attacks.
Then suddenly both the camera feeds are cut off, as the area of effect for Horizon's attack develops the helicopter and multiple districts of the city.
As the ants are crushed on the battlefield while a titan and god collide, neither Horizon nor Gigantomachia seem to care.
Machia' instead slams his palms onto the floor, activating a Quirk that Horizon perhaps would have found familiar if he was thinking clearly, but to a level that could never naturally be achieved.
A blunt 50m -150ft- wide column of dense earth rises upward, extending for 100m -300ft- before it breaks away and simply rockets toward Horizon like an oversized pillar.
The remaining news helicopters and drones immediately began climbing higher to avoid what they were sure would be a devastating dust cloud when it fell, but they were sure to not miss a single moment of what happened next.
Horizon sees the column launched toward him and casually swings Scalpel at it.
AMPUTATE!
The column is instantly split, along with everything behind it.
Machia' suddenly has a chasm form for miles with him directly in the middle as Horizon's slash had split the earth, causing him to almost fall in.
Machia' catches himself by extending his arms to the side, forming massive claws that allow him to dig in, but everyone notices the so-called chasm itself is still expanding, widening.
"RAARGH!" Machia' roars as he grows once more, now 45m -150ft- tall, muscles becoming bulkier as pieces of metal begin forming plates atop his scale armor.
As he looks up, ready to use another long-range attack on Horizon, a massive arc of blue energy slams directly into his face.
This arc was half Machia's height and thicker than usual, for on the fall downward Horizon had gathered his energy before launching it.
The giant column Machia' had launched was split, either side of it going to the left and right of Horizon as he falls through the middle of it, and when he emerged from it, he'd already gathered the energy for this attack.
The arc explodes as it hits Machia', breaking away the earth he had his claws in as the chasm widens further, causing him to fall into it.
As he falls into the 500m deep chasm, Horizon raises a hand before bringing it down toward him.
And both sides of the massive column of earth Machia' had launched don't simply stop moving, but instantly reverse course and accelerate.
They move so fast that they rocket past either side of Horizon and slam into Machia' before Horizon can even reach the ground, still falling through the air.
The impact sets off earthquake and tsunami alarms even in the neighboring regions of Japan, crumbling roads and weaker houses as a dust cloud envelops Dagga city.
Horizon's body disappears in the dust cloud as all the cameras lose sight of him, and not even a minute later, more quakes are felt.
The air itself seems to shake.
KRAKOOM!
Thunder rolls through the sky as lightning begins striking down, but all the bolts collide in the air before moving toward the same target.
From outside the dustcloud, people begin speculating, most expecting Machia' to be using yet another of his unique Quirks.
But as the dust clears, mostly due to the constant shockwaves, they see Horizon constantly clashing with the now 60m -180ft- Machia.
But with each clash, before his sword strikes Machia's fist, sending the titan stumbling back as Horizon is sent skidding hundreds of meters away.
Lighting arcs through the sky and strikes Horizon, seemingly without harming him as it clings to his body, dancing around him before moving to the blade in his grasp.
As Horizon is sent skidding away one last time, Machia', instead of charging at the hero, opens his mouth, releasing a column of red and black lightning.
Responding to this Horizon aims Scalpel forward in a piercing stance, and releases a matching column of the collected lightning directly at the giant.
The result is a blinding light, a deafening explosion, and a wave of electromagnetic interference that causes all the electronics in the are to temporarily stop transmitting.
Leaving everyone to wonder how this new era Gigantomachy will end...
END CHAPTER---
The gigantomachy is the battle between the Olympian gods and the Titans, just incase anyone was confused.
