The Last Stand

"I know I'm not the one you hoped that I'd become

That pretty picture that you kept in your mind

The way you look at me, just tell me honestly

'Cause I no longer see the love in your eyes"

All For One, Dabi and Izuku(Deathsinger) POV

Flashback

It's been a year since Izuku was revived and adopted by All For One as a member of League of Villains. Surprisingly, his strenuous combat and mental training with his colleagues had been improved well than before, but there were few points that he needs to improve such as agility and defense from incoming attacks. Upon observing the young man in the underground training room, he rewarded him by giving a basic, yet useful quirk: The Quirk of a Marksman and dual pistols as his equipment. He gave a bit of advice to the boy regarding his newly acquired quirk.

"This new quirk of yours is pretty common in this world but easy and effective to apply if you master your power by requiring more training in range and accuracy. The only disadvantage is that your quirk would be useless if you don't have your guns or any range type equipment such as daggers so you'd better take care of those otherwise you'd buy your own. You got that?" All For One with a satisfied look on his face ruffled Izuku's soft and fluffy green hair.

The young man smiled upon receiving his first quirk from his master as he bowed his head twice. "I-I didn't expect this kind of reward..I'm not even asking for one since you told me before that…I have a hidden quirk somewhere…"

"You do and I did say that, child. But with that young age and appearance even though you improved, I don't think you can fully control it. We'll get there in time so all you have to do is to trust me."

"Uhmm…if you say so." He frowned a bit.

"I understand that your training session with Dabi is finished and I'm impressed of the outcome as I've been watching you since day one. How about you try using the quirk I gave you for the first time?" He snapped his fingers as he summoned multiple dummies around the training grounds. "It's okay to miss a shot. Take a deep breath, aim properly, and try to shoot them in the head."

Izuku complied with another side task given by his boss as he took few deep breaths, properly aiming his dual pistols at multiple dummies before pulling his trigger. One by one, he began firing at his targets with no hesitation and didn't even mind if he couldn't shoot in their heads. He quickly reloads for 3-4 seconds as he continued shooting the remaining dummies and after a half a minute, he completed the surprise training. Panting as he sweats started to drip on his face.

The boss looked at the damaged dummies with a chuckle. "6 out of 10 dummies got multiple shots in the head, huh? Not bad for a kid like you. I'm having an urge to give you a quest already. Anyway, rest up for the day. Take a shower and we'll have a talk at 8:00 PM regarding your first main quest." He walked out with a wave of his hand and left the room. Izuku looked at him leaving with curiosity what his first mission would be.

At the public shower….

"I still can't believe I use the gun properly. Is this the effect of having a marksman quirk?" He scrubbed some dirt on some parts of his body using a towel with soap as he kept on talking to himself regarding his training. From the looks of his appearance, he developed muscles on his arms, chests and his abdomen, making him a little attractive for a young villain.

"I heard from the boss that you got a quirk?". Dabi, wearing a casual dark blue jacket with a high, ripped collar, and matching pants, and a pair of dark boat shoes leaned against the wall while watching the young boy taking a shower with a grin.

"Eeeeepp-!" Izuku almost jumped off upon hearing his voice. He covered his private part using his one hand. "You almost scared me, Dabi! Do you mind?!"

"Don't get the wrong idea, kid." He looked away before making a few glances. "I just wanted to check your burns on your back during our training? Sorry if I did too much, but I did this for your improvement. Also, the boss' orders…"

"It's still has a burning sensation though, but more or less I'm fine…" He continued scrubbing and later on did his final rinse at the warm rainfall shower. "U-Uhhmm…is there any more you need to ask?"

"I joined League of Villains 6 months after you and you asked me something personal on why I became part of this…crazy group. So I answered back, but with a vague manner." He scratched his hair before looking at him with a serious look. "And I'm here, spilling the tea, in front of a brat like you."

He wrapped his waist around using a towel and looked at the young adult, didn't mind hearing the truth.

"I knew it from the start as I observed your body language, but sure. You can tell me honestly right now."

"Have you heard or familiar with the old fart hero named 'Endeavor'?"

He nodded. "Uhh…yeah. He's the current no. 2 hero according to my research. Okay, what about him?"

"I'm the long lost son of Endeavor' .." He sighed.

Izuku tilted his head for a moment, observing him from top to bottom before blinking twice with a confused look. "Eh? Tell me, you're not joking! Your hair should be all red and have fair skin which should be a basic standard of being in a Todoroki clan."

"You don't have an idea how he treated me and my other siblings back then. At the back of the camera doing heroic acts, the press and the public, he….he's far different than you could ever imagine." He clenched his fists.

"What are you talking about?"

"He was abusive, strict, filled with pride and ego considering he carries the Todoroki name and reputation. He wanted me to surpass All Might by giving me one-on-one harsh training with him every single day with no rest. He never treated me like his own son even though I gave my all to satisfy him, but it was never enough. There were multiple times I keep on hearing endless cries and pain of my mother at the other room. I wanted to save my mom from that monster, but my mind was telling me not to do it. I just…. couldn't understand why the hero community chose to ignore or not condemn his actions. And so, I secretly ran away from home and didn't even say my final goodbyes to my brothers and sister...and to my mother" He gritted his teeth.

Upon hearing the truth, he looked at Dabi with a worried look. "I'm sorry that you'd gone so much pain. I couldn't blame you why you joined the league. Now I understand…"

"I've been wanting to see my siblings: Natsuo, Fuyumi…my little brother Shoto who was always there for me whenever I'm not well. My mother, I wonder if she's well and alive, despite the beatings she'd received from that old geezer. B-But I can't face them with this." He looked at his hands and his overall appearance.

Izuku placed his hand on other's arm with a smile. "You'll soon face them when you're ready. Not this time, but soon…"

He stayed silent before nodding and looking back to him.

"How about you, kid? Since I answered your question as truthful as possible, why did you join the league? How did All For One welcome you here? What is your true purpose of becoming one with us?"

Izuku looked down on the floor after hearing those questions from Dabi.

"It's complicated. You probably won't believe me when I tell you. Come to my room, I'd rather tell you my story in private. Some of the members here would start eavesdropping at us..."

End of flashback

Present

At the coast

"It seems you are as well pondering. Care if I join you, young man?"

The boy didn't respond for a few seconds before answering...

"Of course, I wouldn't mind. But first, I would like to have an autograph from you. I used to be a huge fan…." He finally looked at him with glowing red eyes and a slight grin

"Mr. All Might~"

The number one hero looked shocked at agitated upon seeing the real face they've been tracking for a long time and now here he was starving for violence and vengeance at people who shunned him since he existed in this world. He slowly backed away and was about to make an action, but he couldn't with his weak and thin state. Izuku let out a smirk and asked.

"Surprise to see me, sir, All Might? Or should I say….Toshinori Yagi? This is my first…no, wait…I've been seeing your weak state since I heard somewhere from an unknown source that your health is declining? As well as your so-called quirk named 'One For All'?"

"Y-You….Young Midoriya. I've finally found you. H-How did you know my real name?"

"I don't give a shit how I got the information! But damn, I really hate seeing you like this I don't even want to finish you off so quickly. After all, I'm your biggest fan during my naïve self." He took off his hoodie and revealed his formal villainy costume at the hero before talking once again.

"Remember the time when I got attacked and strangled by a big and ugly sludge monster at the alleyway? I thought it would be the end of me…the quirkless me. Until you saved me and tried to resuscitate me. Of course, I was grateful to you considering I was admiring your good deeds by saving people. And then, another sludge monster incident happened, but the one who got attacked was my childhood friend/bully now a student who is currently studying at U.A. I tried to save him even though I do not a have a quirk, but I couldn't manage to save my only friend. And there you are, finally came with your famous words, "Do not fret for I am here" thing. You beat the monster and everyone applauded. THEY EVEN PRAISED KACCHAN FOR TRYING TO RESIST AGAINST THAT MONSTER. WHILE I WAS SHUNNED, HUMILIATED AND MADE FUN OF ME BY SOCIETY INSTEAD OF PRAISING ME DURING THE INCIDENT. ALL I WANTED WAS TO HELP THE PRO-HEROES! I ONLY WANTED TO HELP! WAS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK?! AND WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME WHEN I ASK IF I COULD BE A HERO EVEN THOUGH WITHOUT A QUIRK?"

"You can't become a hero without a quirk."

The angry Izuku tried not to burst down in tears while glaring at All Might as the fiery red aura suddenly appeared around him, preparing to make an attack.

"It tore me apart as my heart had sunk! You don't have an idea of how I felt during my dark days before I accepted death as a solution to end all of my pain! But did you know what I learned? You can't count on anyone especially a hero like you!

"M-Midoriya… That time I was full of myself and I didn't know how you feel after answering your question. I wish I wanted to take the words back when the time I met you and I should've given you better answers, better solutions for you…for you to become a hero you'd always wanted. I've regretted those actions I had caused and you have every right to be angry with me. I'm really sorry, young Midoriya for I have failed to serve and inspire a person like you. For letting you walk to the dark path." His body started to go big, revealing his bulk form as he offered his hand to Izuku. "I shall be held responsible for everything and the cause for your outcome who got succumbed by darkness, but I just wanted to say that….it's never too late to start over, Midoriya…" He let out his heroic smile in which Izuku disgusted him even more, especially that damn smile.

"Tch… I was about to give in…But your insincere smile irritated the shit outta me!" He stomped his foot on the ground and used his demonic quirk to cast hot and heavy infernal chains to wrap the hero tightly later moaned in pain, dragging him closer to Izuku before releasing a red wave from his hand towards the hero.

"Your message is all about peace, love, and freedom for all. You sir, have learned nothing!"

The strong and violent blast reached the noise around the city. Far away from the coast, All Might's closest friend and detective Naomasa heard the loud bang as he started to check by going there. He was with him a half an hour ago and talked regarding the breaking news they disclosed to the public. While running, he was asking immediate assistance to nearby pro-heroes and the police to check the coast, his friend's presence and the sudden bolts of red lightning at the skies.

"You can't fight with that weak state of yours. I won't allow them to see you like this!" He thought to himself.

Bakugo's squad POV

After all the ugly cries he made in front of his friends and warm comfort, he told them that if ever he meet him soon, he'd try talk to him and apologize for what he did. The trio was also aware of the breaking news on television.

"You can't just confront him and say sorry for being an ass! Remember what we saw on the news, he's now a high-level villain and we still don't know what he's capable of. Let the pro-heroes do the job."

"He's right. We're only a burden if we make things more complicated." Todoroki agreed at the red-haired.

Kastuki gritted his teeth with frustration and regret. "T-That's not it. I've been wanting to tell him for a very long time…even since we were kids. I-I just couldn't show my true feelings for him and I know this is not the right time. Of course, I was being rude and asshole to him, but I think this is the only way I could try to change him… or want to make up with him and start over again…"

Todoroki and Kirishima faced at each other with confusion and awe before looking back to their friend.

"I think I've…I've been falling for him.."

Author's Note: Y'all gonna hate me for making this tea-spill chapter.
