Ice Cold

Battle

"I was, but my parents' lawyer got me out of it?"

"Their lawyer...? But, I thought that kind of thing was temporarily abolished?"

"It was." All For One appeared behind Aoyama, telling him, "You did well, 'nephew.'"

"Indeed I did." Aoyama spun around and a laser shot from his stomach. All For One moved out of the way and, despite his face being covered, anyone could sense the smile.

"So that's how it is."

The League of Villains and the Liberation Army appeared behind him, walking forward, ready to battle with the hero society.

This moment made it feel like the very earth shake. Was the world watching? Did the world know what was going on in Japan?

Midoriya felt a chill down his spine, staring at the Symbol of Chaos face to face.

Then he remembered his classmate. The girl that was bound by her relationship with the man before him.

Then, he felt no fear. Simply anger.

Anger, picturing the scars on your body. Your blank expression. Your solidarity.

And he said,

"When we beat you, you better apologize to your daughter a million times!"

It was a silly order. Not because they couldn't win, but because after this, All For One wouldn't even have a beating heart. That's what Midoriya had concluded.

All For One cackled at the idea. "Apologize? When you win? You're quite the hopeful one, Izuku Midoriya. But if it is a battle you wish to settle this score, then why not?"

"Yes... why not?"

Dark purple smoke emerged behind Aoyama and Midoriya and heroes began walking out onto the battlefield. Those who were once bed ridden now walked, those who lost hope held determination in their eyes, and those who were dead fought in that battle right alongside the living.

"Oh, Himari," All For One said with fake reminiscence, fixating on the white sheen that resided within the smoke. "How you continue to haunt me."

You emerged from the smoke, eyes glowing white and wind dancing around you, water flowing like fish in the sea. A soft breath left your lips, appearing as smoke.

All For One couldn't help but stare at you, how you came to be. For once, he could see the seething anger on your face. It was exhilarating.

Dabi ran past Shigaraki, his crazed eyes fixated on the Number One Hero. "Seems like you really want me to kill you, old man!"

Ice knocked him to the side and Shouto stood on the glacier's edge. "Your fight is with me, Touya."

Water that was flowing around you went to Monoma's eyes. "Use Erasure, quick!"

"On it."

The blue flames vanished, the ground ceased in disintegrating, All For One landed on the ground.

"Are you okay?" You asked Monoma.

He nodded, holding his head as it began to pound at him, telling him to stop. "Hurry up!" He unintentionally screamed.

You stamped your foot in the ground and the ground began to separate. Your eyes glowed and a cyclone began forming near you.

"Shit, she's panicking," Shouto said, but he didn't leave his post. He knew you'd start yelling at him.

Your eyes glowed brighter and the cyclone calmed into a gentle breeze, while the earth quakes at your command.

Shigaraki bulleted towards you and Midoriya kicked him out of the way.

The smoke used for portals disappeared and formed into the figure of a teenage boy, resembling a walking corpse. Perhaps because that's precisely what he was.

Midnight ran next to him and the two of them ran past you. "We'll cover you!"

"Thank... you." You said, nodding at the corpse you had temporarily brought back to life.

Shirakumo.

The ground began to separate, and Aizawa ran to you, his hands on your shoulders. Your entire body trembled but your face didn't waver, your stance was solid; the world was in the palm of your hand for this moment.

What Justin said kept repeating in his mind, no matter how much he tried to tune it out.

"If she had the same amount of power as All For One, she'd be able to turn this world upside down with the flick of her hand."

Lava began splashing like water against the earth's moving plates and a wave of heat rose to the size of UA, and kept going higher until they were damn near the clouds.

Your eyes stopped glowing and Aizawa gazed at the messy terrain.

Craters in the earth.

Large mountains on the once flat land.

The villains were separated by walls of obsidian.

"Monoma."

He let out a heavy sigh and fell to his knees. "Dammit... it was like I erased the quirks of a thousand people."

"My father has many quirks. Sorry you had to go through that."

"Between that Shirakumo guy's quirk, Erasure Head's..."

"Quit crying," you patted his head as you walked away. "Right now, you're a main character. Isn't that what you wanted?"

You disappeared and he stared for a while before laughing and saying, "You're crazy."

"To our post."

"Yeah."

•••

"It seems like you have a lot of power, my dear." All For One seemed to admire the wall of impenetrable rock.

You landed next to Tokoyami, who asked you if you were alright.

"I'm fine."

"Quite the structures you can create..." All For One laughed, an eerie, wheezing kind of laugh. "It makes me wish I didn't kill your mother so I could've taken that forsaken quirk."

You sped forward and raised a fist, rage finding a place in your heart.

All For One moved back but dark smoke engulfed him and moved him back to his original place, allowing a flaming punch to hit him in the stomach and send him flying back.

Endeavour flew in and spurted flames from his palms.

Crimson feathers shot towards All For One.

Acid spurted in his direction.

Sound waves made the ground shake.

All For One flew out of the way, grabbing the feathers as if they were nothing, avoiding the attacks.

"Where's backup?" Hawks muttered through gritted teeth.

"Red Riot and Mount Lady are in their respective places, we just need them to—"

Branch-like spikes soared towards you and Shirakumo teleported you out of the path of your father's attack.

"They're on their way. He's going to try and merge with Tomura." Water formed in your hand as a spike. "We have to keep them separate in the meantime."

"Where's Shigaraki?" Hawks questioned.

"Three kilometres west."

"Not bad on the separation there, Vie."

"Phantom Thief and Erasure Head were transported there, so hopefully they managed to erase his quirk so he can't make his way over."

You breathed, smelling smoke from Dabi's sector. Shouto, you better not die.
