Izuku took his free hand and brought it up to his chest, wrapping it over Katsuki's with a tight squeeze, smiling at the blonde, "I'm going to defeat him!"

Katsuki smiled back, "You sure are. And remember, you're not going to be alone. I'll be right by your side the whole time."

He placed a kiss on his freckled cheek, "Now, go back to sleep, and if you even think about sneaking out-"

"I got it, I got it." Izuku rubbed the back of his neck, laying back down next to Katsuki, the two cuddling together as they fell back asleep.

Before they knew it, the two were geared up in the suits All Might had provided them, now face to face with All For One in the very place they planned to corner him, away from any civilians and important buildings.

"So, you two really think you've got me trapped, huh? You really think I'd fall for such a stupid trick?"

"You're here, aren't you, asshole?" Katsuki spat at him.

His grin widened, "I chose to be here. Though, if I were you... I would've picked a prettier resting place."

"All you fucking do is yap, yap, yap, and I'm getting sick of hearing it. It's time we put you in your final resting place, old man!"

Suddenly, from Katsuki's back, multiple machine guns mounted over his shoulders, and before All For One had a moment to react, Katsuki fired them all off directly at him.

But, Katsuki knew that wouldn't be enough to kill him, this was simply a distraction for his next move.

While his machine guns continued shooting at All For One, he used his hands to create explosions to propel himself in a circular motion, landing an even larger explosion at All For One.

The goal wasn't for Katsuki to kill him, he knew he wouldn't be strong enough to, but to simply weaken him in favor of Izuku getting to put the final nail in the coffin.

Once the smoke cleared, before All For One could react, Izuku powered up all the One For All he could into one arm, sending out a shockwave as the punch landed into All For One's chest, causing him to get flung back fairly far from their current battlefield.

Katsuki grinned, "That's it! That definitely weakened that bastard! I've never seen you punch that hard, Izuku!"

"I try holding back a bit in training. If I were to go over 100%, I'd be afraid of hurting someone or worse. But with All For One, it's the exact amount of power I need."

But their hope fell flat as an ominous laugh echoed in their surroundings, watching as All For One quickly flew back towards them, the only damage on his body being presented on his now torn-up clothing. His body, however, looked untouched.

"That was fun! I was curious to see how strong you two have gotten! It's been a while since I've had a battle similar to that of All Might! But... I'm afraid I, too, have gotten stronger since then... And I highly doubt either of you could defeat me. I don't even feel scared anymore! Not after that weak display!" He continued to laugh.

While Izuku slowly started to panic internally, Katsuki didn't feel deterred.

"If you think that's all we've got, you're mistaken!"

"But... Kacchan-"

"We gotta win, right, Izuku!?" Katsuki looked back at him, sharing the glimpse in his eyes that he also felt scared, but he wasn't giving up yet.
