"Hey, All For One!" Izuku got back up as the villain looked down at him with a raised brow, "You want my quirk, right? Well, you can have it!"

Izuku locked on to the open wound in All For One's chest, running full speed towards him as he charged up his fist with all the One For All he had left, putting it into the blood gushing out of his knuckles.

He punched All For One harshly in his chest, their blood mixing from their open wounds, causing One For All to leave Izuku's body and to be put inside the now much weaker All For One's.

"What!? No! What did you just do!?" All For One gripped Izuku's shoulders right before he had a chance to fall over.

"I gave you what you wanted, didn't I?"

"You idiot! Of course I wanted it but not in the current state I'm in! Shit! I need to heal myself! I need to... I need to-"

As All For One tried to find the words to say, he realized the world around him had disappeared, and Izuku Midoriya was no longer in front of him, but instead, someone else.

"Yoichi... What are you..."

"I wanted to see you one last time." Yoichi smiled.

"One... Last time?"

"I'm afraid so... Well, for you, at least."

"What the hell are you talking about!?"

"You don't get it, do you? You're dead."

All For One stood in shock. The creepy smile he always wore on his face was finally gone.

"Dead...?"

"Yes. That weak Omega you hated? He figured out how to defeat you. I had a feeling he could." Yoichi smiled.

"You son of a-"

"I'm dead too, brother. You can't kill me again." He teased.

"So what, you came here to rub it in my face?"

"No. I came here to ask if you got what you wanted. If all of this ended up being worth it."

All For One wasn't sure how to answer that at first. Of course he didn't get what he wanted. Wasn't that obvious? But, there was clearly something Yoichi was trying to get out of him, he just didn't know what.

"You should've had more respect for Omegas, brother. I had a feeling that would be your downfall. History may repeat, but the ending may not be the same. Midoriya was right in that regard."

"So what!? Just because I'm gone doesn't mean someone else won't take my place. Evil shall always rise once again."

"Yes. But, I have a feeling Midoriya and Bakugo, as well as other prominent heroes, will rise to the occasion."

"Bakugo? But I-"

"Do you see him here?" Yoichi laughed, "Well, so long, brother. This is the last time we'll see each other."

"Huh? But we're both dead?"

"Yes, but, we're both going to very different places. This is just the in-between we're currently in. Our final destination is vastly contrasting."

After spending decades of watching over his brother, Yoichi was finally able to properly rest, as now the days of All For One's reign of terror were no more.

Izuku watched as All For One's ashes flew through the wind, not only thinking of it as the villain's defeat but also as a metaphor for One For All disappearing as well. It was bittersweet, but overall, Izuku felt relieved it was all finally over.

However, there was still a dark cloud above him that he needed to address right away. Once the ashes had completely disappeared, he ran back towards where he had left Katsuki's body.

He kept telling himself the Alpha wasn't dead, but when faced with seeing him once more, it became a lot harder to lie to himself. But, he wasn't going to give up.

He was going to pick him up and run him to the nearest hospital he could find, figuring that would be the fastest way to get Katsuki help, but once he remembered he no longer had One For All, he sighed and let go of Katsuki's body, reaching for his phone instead.

This would take longer and may be detrimental to keeping Katsuki alive. Perhaps letting go of One For All was a mistake if it meant Katsuki was going to-

"... Did... You win?"

It took a moment for Izuku to realize what he had heard. His eyes widened and his hand holding his phone slowly lowered away from his face as he looked down at Katsuki to see red eyes looking up at him.

Tears formed around his eyes as a wide smile grew across his face, "Kacchan!" He exclaimed as he pulled him into a tight hug.

"I-Izuku, not so tight! I appreciate it but, it hurts!" Katsuki patted his shoulder as he winced in pain.

Izuku quickly pulled away, "I'm sorry, I just... I thought I lost you, Kacchan! I was so scared! I-I-"

"Hey, it's okay, I'm alive, see?" Katsuki caressed his cheek to try and soothe his Omega to calm down, "I'd kiss you but, our mouths are covered in blood. You probably wouldn't-"

Izuku leaned in and kissed Katsuki. It was a bit rough but the blonde didn't mind it.

When they parted ways, Izuku rested his forehead against Katsuki's, "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Heh, I'm glad you're okay too. I knew you'd beat that asshole. You're gonna have to tell me how you did it since I was knocked out the whole time."

Izuku was so happy that Katsuki was alive and that he got to reunite with him that he completely forgot that he would have to tell him that he no longer had a quirk.

Katsuki had helped Izuku so much by making him stronger and learning about the secret of One For All. Now it was gone.

Hell, could Izuku still be a hero anymore? Or go back to U.A. even with All For One gone?

His future seemed unknown now.
