Kirishima, pierced by a lance thrown by All For One with multiple strengthening quirks layered on top of one another.

Aoyama, decayed by Shigaraki in but an instant as he jumped in front of an already injured Tsuyu. Taking her place.

Iida, Ojiro, Satou, Kouda and Shouji skewered by cement spikes which rose from the ground itself, courtesy of Cementoss' quirk now in All For One's endless repertoire.

Mina burned into nought but a smouldering corpse by Dabi.

Kaminari, having used his max voltage in a desperate attempt to save his friends had left himself completely open. Muscular took no time in exploiting that weakness, turning their eccentric yet good-natured former classmate into an unrecognizable gory pulp.

Izuku was held fast by vines which sprouted from the ground, once again a quirk stolen from someone he knew not too long ago, Shiozaki from 3-B. He was forced by Shigaraki and All For One to watch his friends die before his very eyes, both making sure no one got close enough to release him.

In a last-ditch effort, some of the remaining students attempted to release their leader from the villain's grasp. Tokoyami and Todoroki rushed forward, the vines burned as Dark Shadow grabbed Izuku. Shinsou brainwashed Shigaraki to attack All For One. The tides of battle shifted.

Or so it seemed.

"A fruitless endeavour, heroes." All For One's voice boomed as he touched Shigaraki's forehead removing Shinsou's influence while simultaneously attacking the brainwashing hero by tracing his connection to his apprentice. Leaving Shinsou mindless. Another hero fell...

All For One's eyes flashed red as Dark Shadow dissipated and Todoroki's flames were snuffed out.

"A-A-Aizawa-sensei." Izuku whimpered as the truth came to light, their former homeroom teacher wasn't just missing. He had been kidnapped by All For One and likely killed if not tortured. His eyes betrayed the pain and utter feeling of despair he felt as his expression became blank.

"HAHAHA, DID ALL MIGHT NOT TEACH YOU THE IMPORTANCE OF A SMILE? WELL? WHERE IS IT NOW, FLEDGLING SYMBOL OF PEACE?" All For One employed his usual tactic, breaking his target both physically and mentally. Just as he had done to All Might before.

"Shut up. Don't you dare utter my master's name."

"Struck a chord?" All For One laughed once more "Master and student are alike after all, so easy to rile up."

"..." Izuku bit his tongue, determined not to give All For One any further satisfaction.

"Nomu." Izuku blanched as Shigaraki uttered the name "Kill them."

The black mass surged forward toward the now-powerless Tokoyami and Todoroki... Ripping them both in half effortlessly.

Izuku's watery eyes were wide with suffering and fury, his mind reaching its limits. He couldn't live through any more deaths.

"No no no. That simply won't do, you must witness it all." All For One said as his massive hand enveloped Izuku's face and a warm feeling blanketed his head. His mind. H-He was healing him... Just enough so that Izuku wouldn't break until the monster had killed all of his class.

"W-Why?"

"Oh? Isn't that obvious. You're the closest thing to All Might on this planet now that he's gone... And I didn't quite have enough time with him as I had hoped. So you will have to do." All For One softly whispered, sending shivers up Izuku's spine at the thought that such a monster could muster such an uncharacteristic tone. "So, who now, Izuku?"

"W-What?"

"Who is next to die?"

"I-I can't choose..."

"AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO, NERD!"

Explosions rippled through the air, the immense heat reminding Izuku of Endeavour's flames or maybe even Dabi's... The force reminiscent of All Might's full strength punch. Bakugou was truly a force to be reckoned with. However, All For One's barrier quirk held steadfast even against such destructive power. Unfortunately for the villain the instant he let his guard another attack raged past him, now unblocked by anything.

And so a cannonball rushed past Izuku's head directly into Shigaraki tearing a hole through him, in his last moments before death the villain got lucky and managed to grasp Hagakure's invisible body with all five of his fingers. She was gone less than a split second later.

The cannon that Momo had fired had been hastily created and therefore it was a one-shot kind of affair, becoming unusable. All For One looked up towards the person he owed the loss of his apprentice and fury rippled through his expression.

"You bitch." The uncaged All For One spoke as he simultaneously stole Momo's quirk and decapitated her with a quick application of a blade quirk. All For One's patience and mental stability (if he had any) declined steadily as the war between the league and the heroes raged on. He was little different from Muscular at this point.

Izuku was left once again staring blankly in front of himself, Bakugou took to removing the vines through small, controlled explosions. "This is our only chance, idiot. Start moving damnit." Bakugou said in a hushed voice, much quieter than Izuku ever thought he'd be able to speak. "We can't win this without you."

"I-It's not worth winning anymore, Kacchan."

Katsuki smacked Izuku upside the head.

"You idiot, if we stop here their deaths were pointless so get your bitch ass up and either fight or fallback so we can regroup. You're the leader dumbass, you have to make the choices."

A moment of silent thoughts.

"You're right." a new resolve within Izuku, to make sure his friend's deaths had actually meant something "We have to go."

Bakugou reached out to help Izuku up and they began their quick but quiet retreat. Tsuyu's screams of agony could be heard in the distance as flames roared and a blue hue permeated the cataclysmic cityscape around them. Another hero cremated by Dabi.

They continued their trek. One that ended all too quick with a swirling purple void that All For One stepped through.

He grabbed Bakugou by his neck, the blond retaliated by setting explosions off toward his aggressor "RUN, IDIOT! GET HELP, DO WHATEVER. JUST MAKE SURE YOU W-"

Bakugou's words were cut short by a loud crack as his windpipe was caved in and all life fled him, All For One tossed him aside like a doll.

"You can't escape me."

Izuku knew those words were the undeniable truth. It was over, he could do nothing to stop him. He had failed All Might and all of his former classmates, resulting in their untimely demise. He had lost.

He felt something wrap around him as he got pulled away by Sero, explosive vibrations resonated through the air akin to Bakugou's explosions, however, these explosions were purely ones of sound. Produced by Jirou.

"Muscular." All For One called, the behemoth answered his summoning by grabbing Izuku's saviour, Sero, and crushing every bone in his body into dust no different to when Izuku used 1000000% One For All to defeat Muscular so long ago.

"Kurogiri." Several warp gates opened at All For One's words. All within Jirou's body, severing it effortlessly.

"Well. I'm sure you realise there's only one left, right?" All For One spoke to Izuku, who had collapsed to the ground of his own accord having fully given up. Yet at these words his head surged upwards, his eyes pleading, hoping that maybe. Just maybe, All For One would have mercy just this once.

Ochako was brought forward, half dead and drained of colour as if she had been almost completely drained of blood, 'Toga' Izuku had realised with a start.

"Deku-kun," Ochako said weakly, slowly "I-I'm... Sorry."

"D-Don't be... Y-You're fine, y-you did okay."

"I...got caught...before the fight even started."

"That's fine. Don't worry anymore." Izuku said, struggling against Dabi who held him in place, kneeling.

"Let me go damnit, you've got me exactly where you want me, I surrender. Just let me be with her until the end."

At that another Ochako appeared, perfectly healthy and lively "Hey Deku-kun~"

"Toga." Izuku said, venom poured into the name.

"Hm? No, silly. It's Ochako!" The imposter said with a cheery smile.

Izuku's steely gaze cast upon her in a glare.

"Do it." All For One said all colour drained from Izuku just as it had been drained from Ochako. However, his paleness was a side effect of the fear and despair he felt. Toga picked up Ochako and slashed her throat with a knife, bleeding her slowly. The crimson liquid flowed slowly down Ochako's body, staining her once pink costume. Izuku looked on with nothing but horror and despair. With this, All For One had taken almost everyone who Izuku had cared about and loved.

Bakugou.

Iida.

Shinsou.

Todoroki.

All Might.

Aizawa-sensei.

Ochako.

Mom.

Tears pour freely from Izuku's eyes.

"Awww. Why are you crying Deku-kun? I'm right here!" Toga exclaimed, still using her quirk to disguise herself as the now dead Ochako.

"What do you want with me!" Izuku cried "You've already taken everything from me! Just kill me already!"

"Not so easy, young man. I'm still not done with you." All For One said, clearly intending to torture Izuku more.

'I've had enough.'

One For All flared up as far as Izuku could push it 1000000% turned to 2000000% eventually reaching 1 billion percent (rationally speaking this would be around 60% of All Might's power at his peak). Something Izuku wouldn't attempt at any other time for fear of hurting himself beyond repair.

However, now that hurting himself beyond repair was his goal he pushed and pushed. And struck at the ground with his fist, his body imploded as the ground exploded. He killed not only himself but also every remaining member of the league aside from one, All For One. Whose body was likely beyond repair following the attack, the injuries will be fatal if he doesn't return to his personal doctor in time.

But Izuku doesn't know that. He knows nothing more than the darkness that comes in tandem with death.

That's all he expects to see ever again.

Yet before him stood a familiar scene, his home city of Musutafu.
