A/N: Thank you all so much for 500 reads! I really appreciate you all for checking out my story. I hope you've all enjoyed it so far. There is still so much more that I plan on doing with Yaze's character. Now enjoy All Might's fight with AFO!
As Yaze's gaze swept over the chaotic aftermath, he took in the sight of Gang Orca, Tiger, and Mt. Lady, barely conscious but seemingly unharmed amidst the wreckage. The air was heavy with tension as All For One loomed over them, his presence commanding the space with an eerie calmness. Amidst the debris, Yaze couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power on display, tinged with a chilling realization of the danger they were all in. Then, with a slow and deliberate clap, All For One directed his attention to Best Jeanist, his voice echoing through the shattered hangar.
"That's the #4 hero for you!! Best Jeanist!!" he praised, his tone laced with mock admiration. "I was planning on blasting them all straight to hell!! But you grabbed them by their clothes and threw them aside in the nick of time! Such quick decision making, such technique... such incredible reflexes!"
As Best Jeanist lay sprawled on the ground, his once-imposing stature now diminished by the sudden attack, All For One's menacing presence loomed over him. With a calculated strike, a smaller blast erupted from the villain's hand, finding its mark as it struck Best Jeanist square in the gut.
The hero's body jerked in response to the impact, a sharp intake of breath escaping his lips as pain lanced through him. Yaze's voice, filled with concern and urgency, sliced through the tension-laden air as he called out to his fallen ally. Yaze's eyes widened with worry as he remained rooted to the spot, his muscles tensed with a mixture of fear and helplessness.
"You're strength is the product of endless training and a wealth of experience," All For One said. "But I don't need it. Because your quirk isn't one that would suit Tomura."
Bakugo suddenly emerged from a swirling vortex of ooze, his sudden appearance catching Yaze off guard. 'What's Bakugo doing here?' Yaze thought. 'Was he kidnapped too?'
Coughing and wrinkling his nose at the unpleasant smell, he shot a glare around the area, his expression a mix of confusion and irritation. "This stuff stinks..." he grumbled, his voice dripping with disdain as he tried to shake off the remnants of the teleportation. "What was that stuff?!"
"Apologies, Bakugo," All For One says, his tone smooth and unapologetic, betraying no hint of sincerity.
"Huh?!" Bakugo exclaimed, confused and disoriented.
Suddenly, the League of Villains, including Himiko Toga, Mr. Compress, Tomura Shigaraki, Spinner, Magne, Kurogiri, Dabi, Twice, and Vitaevor, materialize in the same manner as Bakugo, their arrival accompanied by wisps of dark goop swirling around them.
"You've failed again, Tomura," All For One said to his pupil. "But you mustn't lose heart. There will be more chances to set things right. That's why I've brought along your little band. And the boy, because you've determined that he is an important pawn."
All For One reached out a comforting hand to Shigaraki. "So try again," he encouraged him. "That's what I'm here to help you do. It's all for you."
As All For One spoke to Shigaraki, offering words of encouragement, a sudden disturbance shattered the tense atmosphere. All For One paused and said, "I knew you'd come."
Suddenly, All Might descended from the heavens with unparalleled force, his arrival heralded by a thunderous roar. As All Might descended with formidable force, aiming directly at All For One, the villain didn't flinch. Instead, with a deft movement, he intercepted the hero's fists with his own, catching the incoming onslaught with chilling ease. Yaze watched in awe and trepidation as the two titans clashed in a spectacular display of power and will.
The collision between All Might's overwhelming force and All For One's formidable defense sent shockwaves rippling through the air, knocking everyone present off their feet and hurling them backward with tremendous force. Yaze felt himself propelled through the air, tumbling uncontrollably amidst the chaos and debris as the impact reverberated throughout the area.
"You're gonna give it all back, All For One!" All Might declared.
"Here to kill me again, All Might?" All For One goaded, his tone chillingly calm given who his opponent was.
As the clash between All For One and All Might intensified, the very air crackled with unrestrained power. All For One's towering figure seemed to radiate malevolent energy, while All Might, despite his injuries, stood firm, his resolve unwavering.
All For One unleashed another devastating blast of energy, a concussive wave that sent All Might hurtling through the air like a ragdoll, his iconic form temporarily dwarfed by the sheer force of the attack. The impact reverberated through the surrounding landscape, sending shockwaves rippling through the earth.
"That's an air cannon, plus spring-like limbs kinetically boosted by four and the strength enhanced by three." All For One said, flexing his fingers with satisfaction. "It's a fun little combination... but I want to add in a few more power-up type quirks..."
"All Might!!" Bakugo called out to his idol, fearing the worst.
"Don't fret. That won't be enough to kill him. So, you need to flee Tomura," All For One instructed. "And take the boy with you."
Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, All For One's gaze fell upon Kurogiri, the loyal servant whose quirk held the key to their escape.
"Kurogiri will help with your escape," he said.
"Hey, you!" Magne called out, concerned for her friend. "The poor fellow's been knocked unconscious!! I'm not sure how you do it, but couldn't you use your warp ability to help us get away?"
"My version's still not complete, Magne," All For One explained. "It only works over extremely short distances, and it's not like his, which can target specific coordinates. All I can do is bring things to me or send them away from me. What's more, the destination has to be a person... one I'm well acquainted with."
With a swift, decisive motion, he activated his own quirk, shooting black spikes with red veins out of his fingertips and into the unconscious villain, forcibly stimulating Kurogiri's innate abilities. In an instant, a swirling portal materialized before the League of Villains, offering them a swift means of retreat.
"Now go." All For One commanded.
"And you, Master...?" Shigaraki asked.
With a resounding boom, All Might leaped across the skyline, his powerful strides carrying him over the city's buildings. As he soared through the air, his gaze remained fixed on his target, his determination unwavering despite the obstacles in his path. All Might's commitment to protecting the city and his students drove him forward, propelling him towards the looming confrontation with the villains who threatened their safety.
"You won't get away!" His voice roared like thunder, a rallying cry for justice that reverberated throughout the city streets. All Might's unwavering resolve fueled his every move as he closed in on his adversaries, ready to confront them with the full force of his power.
"Always think ahead, Tomura," All For One said to his disciple. "You still have much room to grow."
All For One then parried All Might's hit with his arm, and the two titans continued their clash. Mr. Compress turned the unconscious Dabi into a marble for easy transport, and suggested that they take All For One's advice and leave.
"And take your pawn," the masked magician concluded.
The League of Villains then directed their attention onto Bakugo. "What a pain..." Bakugo said with his signature smirk.
"Young Bakugo...!!" All Might called out to his student.
Bakugo fought back with fierce determination, his explosions lighting up the darkness as he dodged the attacks of the League of Villains. Himiko Toga's knives sliced through the air, narrowly missing their mark as Bakugo ducked and weaved with expert agility.
Mr. Compress attempted to turn their target into a marble, but Bakugo's quick reflexes allowed him to evade capture, his explosions propelling him out of harm's way. With each detonation, Bakugo pushed himself to the limit, refusing to be taken by his adversaries.
Amidst the chaos, the remaining members of the League of Villains pressed on, their relentless pursuit driving them ever closer to their elusive target.
"I'm coming for you!" All Might called out as he tried to assist Bakugo.
"Not so fast," All For One goaded as he used his black finger spikes to pierce into All Might's bicep and drag him back into their fight. "That's why I'm here."
All For One then flipped All Might over and slammed him into the ground with a thud.
As All Might and All For One continued their battle and Bakugo struggled to keep evading his pursuers, the sound of a deafening crash reverberated through the battlefield, drawing the attention of both heroes and villains alike. On the other side of the fray, Midoriya, Kirishima, Todoroki, Iida, and Yaoyorozu executed their daring rescue plan with precision and determination.
Todoroki's icy prowess manifested in the form of a colossal ramp, crafted swiftly to propel their escape. Midoriya, Ida, and Kirishima seized the opportunity, hurtling themselves into the air with reckless abandon.
With an outstretched hand, Kirishima called out to his friend, "Come on!!"
Bakugo, ever resourceful, utilized his explosive quirk to launch himself upward, joining his comrades in their daring escape. With lightning speed, he latched onto Kirishima's hand, their combined momentum carrying them swiftly away from the chaos of battle.
As the villains regained their composure, Magne sprang into action, employing her magnetic quirk to manipulate the metallic components of Spinner and Mr. Compress. With a powerful surge of magnetic force, she propelled Mr. Compress into the air, hurtling him after the fleeing students.
Meanwhile, the heroes, Mt. Lady, Gang Orca, and Tiger, fully conscious and alert, remained on the sidelines, wary of interfering in the intense clash between All Might and the League of Villains. However, as the opportunity to aid the fleeing students presented itself, they seized it without hesitation.
With a resolute roar, Mt. Lady assumed her towering form once more, positioning herself between Mr. Compress and the airborne students. Her colossal stature served as a formidable barrier, shielding the students from harm as they soared through the air, their escape aided by the heroic intervention of Mt. Lady.
With a resounding impact, Mr. Compress collided with Mt. Lady's colossal visage, the force of the blow knocking her unconscious once more. As her towering form slumped to the ground, the heroes faced a new challenge in protecting the students from the relentless onslaught of the League of Villains.
As Magne prepared to launch another one of her allies towards the students, the old hero Gran Torino came propelling through the air using his Air Jet Quirk. With lightning speed, he kicked Magne and Twice in the face, knocking them unconscious. Then, he redirected his focus towards the other members of the League of Villains. He moved swiftly, targeting Shigaraki directly, delivering a decisive kick to his face.
All For One, using his black spikes to utilize his forcible quirk activation, seized control of Magne's unconscious body, compelling them all to hurtle towards Himiko Toga and into the portal. Magne's Magnetism Quirk magnetized their bodies: males turning into South Poles and females into North Poles. Without hesitation, All For One flung Magne's form into the portal alongside the others.
"Wait, not yet," Shigaraki protested. "Master!!" All For One then blocked Gran Torino from following them into the portal.
"With that body you'll... No, no good... I'm not ready..." Shigaraki pleaded with his master.
"Tomura," All For One said. "You'll finish this war."
With that, the portal closed, the League of Villains officially making their exit. As the battle between All Might and his arch-nemesis raged on, Yaze watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding with a mixture of awe and apprehension. The clash of titans continued unabated, each blow echoing through the air.
But then, All For One landed a particularly devastating hit, and Yaze's breath caught in his throat as he witnessed the transformation that followed. In an instant, All Might's once-mighty form seemed to diminish, his powerful physique giving way to a much thinner, more fragile appearance.
Yaze couldn't tear his eyes away from the scene unfolding before him. He had always seen All Might as an invincible hero, a beacon of hope in a world filled with darkness. But now, as he witnessed All Might's true form for the first time, a wave of shock washed over him.
The sight of his hero, weakened and vulnerable, sent a pang of fear through Yaze's heart. All he could do was watch helplessly as the battle unfolded before him, his own abilities of no use in this moment of crisis.
As he observed the scene, Yaze couldn't shake the feeling of dread that washed over him. All Might, the symbol of peace, was faltering, and Yaze couldn't help but wonder what would happen next.
As All For One prepared to launch another devastating attack at All Might, the tension in the air reached a fever pitch. But just as he prepared to unleash his power, Endeavor and Edgeshot arrived on the scene.
With a burst of flames that illuminated the battlefield, Endeavor unleashed a torrent of fire at All For One, his determination burning as brightly as the flames themselves. But All For One was quick to react, summoning his air cannon to block the incoming assault with a powerful blast of wind.
"What's wrong with you, All Might?!" Endeavor called out to his rival.
"They might've only been midlevel ones, but still..." All For One said to Endeavor with mock admiration. "Cleaning up those Nomu so quickly... I guess I should've expected no less from No. 2. You sure have climbed high."
"All Might..." Endeavor continued, ignoring the villain's words. "Explain this pathetic state you're in!"
Then, Kamui Woods arrived on the scene, swiftly evacuating the unconscious Mt. Lady and Best Jeanist off of the battlefield. Amidst the chaos of battle, Yaze's focus was drawn to a faint cry for help beneath the rubble. "Is anyone there?" A strained voice called out, barely audible over the sounds of destruction.
Rushing to investigate, Yaze activated his Radar Quirk, scanning the area for signs of life. His heart sank as he detected the faint presence of someone trapped beneath the debris. "Hang on, I'm coming!" Yaze shouted, his voice filled with determination as he sprinted towards the source of the distress.
As he reached the trapped figure, Yaze's infrared vision kicked in, allowing him to see through the darkness and rubble with ease. "Don't worry, I'm here to help," he reassured them, his voice steady despite the chaos surrounding them.
With a surge of adrenaline, Yaze activated his Biomorph Quirk, his muscles bulging as he effortlessly lifted the debris off of the trapped individual. "You're safe now," he said, relief evident in his voice as he helped them to their feet. "Is there anyone else down there with you?"
The man shook his head, still dazed from his ordeal. "No, I was the only one trapped," he replied, his voice trembling slightly.
Yaze nodded, his senses still on high alert as he scanned the area for any other signs of distress. "Good," he said, his tone reassuring. "Let's get you out of here."
Yaze helped the man to his feet. "Hold on tight," he said, as his wings unfurled from his back, large and leathery. "We're getting out of here."
He then took flight, carrying him away from the battlefield and into safety. Once he ensured he was out of harm's way, he returned to assist Tiger, Kamui Woods, and Edgeshot in rescuing others who needed help.
As the battle raged on, the heroes pressed forward with their rescue efforts, determined to save as many lives as possible amidst the chaos of the battlefield. Tiger, Kamui Woods, Edgeshot, and Yaze worked tirelessly, their efforts fueled by a sense of duty and the urgency of the situation. With each person they rescued, a glimmer of hope emerged amidst the devastation, a testament to their unwavering resolve in the face of adversity.
Meanwhile, the clash between All Might and All For One reached a fever pitch, the air crackling with energy as each blow reverberated through the battlefield. Despite All Might's valiant efforts, it became increasingly apparent that All For One held the upper hand, his sinister grin a stark contrast to the grim determination etched on All Might's face.
As the battle wore on, fatigue began to weigh heavily on All Might's shoulders, his strength waning with each passing moment. All For One prepared the ultimate quirk combination, his arm becoming a hulking abomination of power and destruction. Yet, in the depths of All Might's soul, a spark of resilience flickered to life, igniting a flame of determination that burned brighter than ever before. With a mighty roar, he tapped into his innermost reserves of power, channeling it into a final, desperate attack.
"United States of Smash!!" All Might's voice echoed across the battlefield, a rallying cry that shook the very foundations of the earth. In that moment, time seemed to stand still as he unleashed the full force of his legendary strength, delivering a devastating blow that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
The impact was staggering, a testament to the sheer power of All Might's indomitable spirit. As All For One staggered under the force of the blow, a stunned silence fell over the battlefield, broken only by the sound of All For One's unconscious body hitting the ground. In that fleeting moment, victory belonged to the Symbol of Peace, a beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness.
As All Might stood amidst the rubble, his once-mighty form now battered and bruised from the intense battle, a surge of triumph surged through him. With a resolute expression, he raised his arm in a gesture of victory, a beacon of hope amidst the chaos. Cheers erupted from the heroes and onlookers alike, their voices ringing out in jubilation. The Symbol of Peace had prevailed once more, and the spirit of heroism burned brighter than ever.
* * *
As the scene unfolded and the authorities and press swarmed the area, All For One was restrained in an Iron Maiden, awaiting transport to Tartarus, Japan's most secure prison. Meanwhile, All Might, bearing the wounds of battle and confined to his deflated form, stood tall amidst the chaos. With a defiant glare, he pointed towards the news cameras, his voice carrying across the tumultuous scene.
"Now it's your turn," he declared, his words echoing with a sense of justice and resolve. It was a stark reminder to those watching that the fight against evil would continue, with or without the Symbol of Peace at the forefront. But it was also a call to action, that it was time for someone else to pick up the mantle and continue All Might's work. As Yaze contemplated the possible meanings behind All Might's words, he wondered who that could be.
