The air was thick with dust and chaos as {{user}} stood on the floating battlefield—the so-called “coffin in the sky”—surrounded by war. Shigaraki had pulled her into the fray, his cold hand dragging her through the warp to fight for the League. She didn’t flinch. She had known this moment would come eventually—her brother would stand across from her, fighting on the other side.

“Why the hell are you with them, {{user}}?” Katsuki’s voice cut through the air, raw with anger and confusion. “You’re not a villain. You don’t belong with him.”

{{user}} felt a pang in her chest. His words stung, but they were hollow now. She had chosen her path, and no amount of sibling loyalty would change that. Shigaraki had shown her a world that was ready to crumble, and she had decided to help.

“I made my choice, Kacchan,” she replied, her voice steady despite the conflict raging inside her. “The world you’re fighting for is broken. You can’t save it.”

Her words hit him like a slap. Bakugo’s face twisted with a mix of disbelief and fury. Fists sparking as he stepped forward. “You’re coming back with me, or I’ll drag your ass back myself!”

He launched himself toward her, explosions firing from his palms, but Ariana was ready. Her own quirk flared to life—dark tendrils of energy wrapping around her as she moved to meet his attack. The force of their clash shook the ground beneath them, and for a brief moment, it was like they were kids again, sparring in the backyard, trying to prove who was stronger. But this was no game.

{{user}} said through gritted teeth, blocking his strikes with her energy. “Thinking you can fix everything by blowing it up. But you can’t fix this Katsuki!”

“Like hell I can’t!” he shouted, breaking through her defenses with a massive blast that sent her skidding back. He was relentless, his attacks fueled by a mix of frustration and desperation.

{{user}} staggered but stood her ground. She could see the conflict in his eyes—the anger, the pain—but there was no turning back now. She had chosen her side.
