Deku felt the shard of metal protruding from his stomach, blood leaked from the edges of the giant shard embedded into his stomach.

He was in agonising pain, he was starting to lose feeling in his fingers and toes from blood loss. His vision blurred. He could hear the sounds of the battle still going on around him but payed them no mind, after all he had a bigger problem at hand.

He coughed bringing up some blood with it. This couldn't be how it ended! He was supposed to become the next symbol of peace!

He had failed everyone, his mother, his teachers, his class and most of all All Might. What would he do if he was in Deku's shoes?

His world became slightly darker at the blood loss his body was experiencing. He slowly managed to bring back some feeling to his fingers, enough to be able to touch the metal shard cutting several inches down in a jagged line going across his stomach. He had about 20 minutes at the most to live if he left the piece in feeling his heart beat unsteadily against the shard.

But he didn't do that, gripping the piece with all of his rapidly decaying strength he pulled the shard out of himself. Now he had closer to five minutes left, ten if he was lucky. He felt the presence of another person next to him, All Might.

"Midoriya my boy what has happened to you!?" He cried crouching over the dying boy.

"H-h-he got-t m-m-me All Might-t, I tried so h-hard to be like y-you" Deku could barely form words around the blood leaking from his mouth.

"Don't worry I'm here now" his trademark smile just peaking out in hope.

"I-it's t-to late f-for me Al-" Deku coughed again bringing up more blood, he continued "j-just leave m-m-me here. I-I w-wanna see the s-s-sunrise one last time."

"Don't say that you'll be fine! I know it!" It was a lie and they both knew it.

Deku could feel himself slipping further and further away from consciousness as they spoke. The pain from the gash in his stomach was worse now, the blood had leaked into a large portion of his hero costume and All Might's as well staining both a dark red.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry All M-might b-but it's t-t-too l-late f-f-for me n-n-now" Deku's stutter had gotten worse along with the pain and darkening vision. His eyes felt so heavy all of a sudden, he could resist the pull of closing them. He felt the sensations of being rocked back and forth slowly as he was cradled by All Might.

His consciousness drifting away too, not before he managed to whisper out the words "s-sorry d-d-dad." He faded into oblivion leaving everything else behind.

"No, Midoriya. Son" All Might gently shook Deku's lifeless body in vain. He never got to see that sunrise.
