Shigaraki Tomura angrily scratched his neck as he watched the news. The fake All for One attacked a mall and heavily injured a UA student.

He couldn't forgive that. First, that impostor took his master's name and then, attacked a student from their targeted school. It was too much of a mockery for him. That impostor must be picking a fight against the League of Villains.

"Sensei… This man is insulting you", Shigaraki muttered.

The other members of the League just watched him silently. Dabi was bored as he stood in a corner. Himiko played with a knife. Twice and Spinner talked about random stuff. But sometimes, they would be bothered by Shigaraki's loud scratching noises.

"If Kurogiri was here, I'd have him bring that impostor here and kill that impostor myself", Shigaraki said.

"There's no need for that", a voice told him.

The League was surprised to see a man in a black suit and black helmet with small industrial pipes standing behind Shigaraki. Shigaraki reacted in time and reached for the man's mask but vines sprouted from the floor and wrapped around his body. The rest of the League switched to their battle mode as Dabi conjured blue flames, Himiko readied her knives, Spinner pointed his blade, and Twice unleashed his tape.

"Relax. I'm not here to fight", All for One said.

"I don't care. You insulted Sensei just by taking his name. And then you target someone from the school we've set our eyes on. You are an enemy", Shigaraki told him.

"I see. All for One was his name too?", he asked.

"What are you saying?"

"Let me tell you a story"

All for One told the story of how he met the previous holder of All for One who was dying in an alleyway. He told him how he decided to carry on his will and he would destroy the society he hated.

"So you're saying Sensei gave you that power?", Shigaraki asked.

"Yes"

"You're lying!"

"It's up to you on whether you'd believe me or not. But I'm not here to talk about that"

Shigaraki and the other members of the League were confused about what he said. A black portal appeared and All for One retrieved a metal suitcase from it. He opened it and it was filled with cash.

"What is this?", Shigaraki asked.

"I'm funding your League of Villains", All for One answered.

Shigaraki became silent. Even though he was angry at the man in front of him, it was true that the League needed funds. They had to repair their hideout and food was a problem especially that some members have huge appetites. Shigaraki was no longer a kid. He was now a leader since his master was gone. And since he was a leader, he didn't have the luxury to think about himself.

"What is your goal?", Shigaraki asked.

"It's good to see that you've calmed down. As you've known, I'm going to tear down society and build a new one. Surely our goals are the same right?", All for One asked.

"You're right. What about it?"

"I'm a powerful villain and I already killed top heroes. But that isn't enough. My progress is going slowly. Your Sensei, the man who gave me this power, wouldn't be satisfied with my pace. That's why I need your help. What if the news that the League of Villains and All for One is working together spreads?"

Shigaraki thought about it.

"Fear would crush society", he answered.

"Correct. That's why I'm going to occasionally give you funds in order for you to operate", All for One said.

"And what if we refuse?", Dabi asked.

Underneath his mask, Izuku smiled.

"Then I'll have to make you submit to me… by force!", All for One said and the floor started shaking.

"But I don't want to resort to that. It's like an alliance except that most of the time, we stay out of each other's way. Occasionally we would work together but that happens rarely. What do you think, Shigaraki?"

Shigaraki thought deeply. What would his master do? What was the correct answer?

"Fine"

An unfamiliar ceiling entered Katsuki's vision. His arms and feet felt numb and his throat was dry. He then remembered what happened to him. The woman who fell, his fight with All for One, and his defeat entered his mind. He also remembered the green eye filled with hatred.

"Oh. You're awake", a voice said.

The voice belonged to a short elderly lady known as Recovery Girl. Her Quirk deals with healing injuries with a kiss. However, Katsuki didn't seem to be fully healed.

"Your surgery was difficult. Most of your bones were snapped into pieces. You might not be able to move your arms and legs for a while. All for One is merciless even to a student. What kind of villain… no… monster is he?", Recovery Girl asked.

Katsuki was silent. He suffered complete defeat. None of his attacks reached All for One. All he did was useless. He couldn't even save a life. As a child, he never lost a battle because of his tenacity. But even with his tenacity and strength, he still lost against that overwhelming power. A hero was supposed to get out of any pinch and emerge victorious. What kind of hero was he?

He thought about All for One's words. Apparently, he caused him pain and even humiliated him. Also, they used to know each other. However, he couldn't remember someone with such hateful a green eye.

His mind flashed someone with green hair. Katsuki tried hard to remember but he forgot his name. After all, he didn't think about the names of the extras in his life. But somehow, he felt that the green-haired person who suddenly appeared in his mind had a connection to All for One.

There was a knock on the hospital door and when Recovery Girl opened it, Principal Nezu, All Might, and Aizawa entered.

"Hello, young Bakugo", All Might greeted.

"We know you are still recovering but we need to ask you questions. After all, we are dealing with who might be the worst villain Japan ever faced. And you were the only one who fought him and lived to tell the tale", Principal Nezu said.

"He's strong", that was all Katsuki could say as fear returned to him.

He wondered why All for One allowed him to live. Did he give him mercy? No. That villain already murdered too many people to have any mercy left inside him.

"Did you notice anything about him? Anything would be good", Aizawa asked.

Katsuki looked at them.

"I managed to break a bit of his mask"

"And?", Nezu asked.

"I saw a green eye"

"All for One is green-eyed? At least we can narrow down suspects", Aizawa said despite that he knew there were a lot of green-eyed people in Japan.

"His eye was filled with hatred. It was burning. One look at it and I felt his desire to destroy everything", Katsuki told them.

After a few more questions, Nezu and All Might left. Aizawa stayed behind to talk more with Katsuki and would be his guardian in case that All for One would go after him again. But deep inside, Aizawa knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against the powerful villain alone.

"Are you sure we shouldn't tell him?", Nezu asked All Might as they were walking down the hall.

"I… don't know", All Might answered.

"His future is now ruined. All for One robbed him of his wonderful potential. Maybe he was punishing him by living him live like this", Nezu said.

"You're right. In time, we need to tell him the truth. Young Bakugo has the right to know why he might be Quirkless"
