I always like to end my stories with an epilogue. Hehe. Hope you guys enjoyed it so far with the cliffhanger (sorry but I really don't know whether to keep Izuku or not... I just love him!) Now, on to the story! Plus Ultra!
Bakugo didn't know what to make of the boy lying motionless on the bed, tubes snaking on his arms and around his body as it fed him food and oxygen to survive. Recovery Girl said it was a miracle he even managed to survive the drug and let alone keep One for All in the process but he had been knocked out for the past week that Bakugo wondered if he would even wake up. His heart clenched at the thought of losing his childhood friend as his lip twitched. He never thought of him as a friend until now and he felt yet another wave of regret as he clutched the hand that might have just killed said, friend.
"Young Bakugo, let me take over," a voice said from behind him as he turned to see Toshinori, his bangs covering his face as he patted the boy on the shoulder. Bakugo didn't realize one of his hands was clasped in Izuku's cold one, the fingers on the wrist as though trying to make sure he was alive the whole time. Toshinori had to pry it away from the boy before he took his place next to the bed, his head hung low as he prayed to himself. Bakugo didn't bother trying to retort as he had spent the entire night in the hospital, hoping to apologize to the boy once he got up, and hopefully not choke him before he could help himself. He turned around one last time to look at Izuku before he walked out, closing the door behind to leave a small crack that allowed him to hear any changes within that room.
…
Izuku floated in nothingness, his mind blank as he opened his eyes to be met with darkness. "Where am I?' he wondered aloud as he tried to remember what was going on. Strange, he couldn't remember what had happened before. He got snippets of his life before UA and some parts of it but now... he didn't know how he had got here and why he was here. "Am I dead?" he wondered as a ball of light floated before him. He reached out, trying to grasp onto it when he heard a voice call out, "Young Midoriya!" "All Might?" he whispered as he reached to the light, the small ball growing brighter when he was met with a wave of light.
Izuku opened his eyes to find himself in the infirmary. How he knew he was in the infirmary, he had no idea but he did recognize the skinny man sitting at the edge of his bed, his bright blue eyes wide as he grabbed his arm. "Young Midoriya, you're alive!" he yelled as Izuku grunted, "Who are you?" His voice sounded weak as though he hadn't used it in days and he looked to the monitor to see his arm hooked with countless wires. He tried to get up but he felt his body break as he lay back down on the sheets.
"Rest, you had a rough time," Toshinori murmured but the man did his best to keep a straight face at the thought that the boy didn't recognize him. Just a month ago, he had been hell-bent on killing him but now, he reminded him of the boy he had met in the hospital the day his mother had died, innocent and confused. "How do you know me?" he asked as Toshinori did his best to reconstruct his thoughts. Recovery Girl had mentioned that there was a chance that Izuku may end up amnesiac after the battle due to the stress on his body with all the Quirks leaving him. But there was one Quirk that still remained in the boy and Toshinori couldn't believe it himself when he found out. "I'm… All Might."
…
Bakugo stood outside of the infirmary, listening to Izuku fanboy over All Might until the man thought he would die from a heart attack. Apparently, the only memories he had were those before his mother had died and that was about it, leaving him with a five-year gap in his memories. Bakugo shuddered as he thought of how it would be like to wake up and suddenly realize he had no idea what he had been doing for the past five years. "You're my disciple, Young Midoriya. I passed on my Quirk to you, One for All, when you applied to UA, remember?" Toshinori said as Izuku shrieked, "What?!"
"Oh my god! This is insane! I'm… your disciple? How did I forget that? Holy shit! I need to tell mum about it. She must be worried I'm in the hospital and all… wait, where's my phone?" he asked as Bakugo froze outside. So he didn't remember his mother dying… "Young Midoriya, your mother passed on a few years ago in an accident," Toshinori said as Izuku's breath hitched, his heart stopping so fast he thought he had a heart attack. His mother, gone? How did he forget that?
"Mum… is dead?" he whispered as Toshinori patted his arm. "But because of her, you rose to become a person who strived to save others from her fate and when I saw you in action, I was compelled to bestow you my power. I knew from the moment I saw you, you could be a Hero." As his words washed over Izuku, the young boy felt his eyes tear up as he sobbed, wondering if this was true or not. He had lost his mother and forgotten about it, but now he was also All Might's disciple?
"You trained with me after her death and enrolled into UA High School when you were in high school. Since then, you've been training to become a Hero and I must say, I couldn't be more proud of you," Toshinori said as he held onto a sobbing Izuku. Bakugo couldn't stand it any longer and walked down the hall, finding himself moving to the city and catching a train to his hometown. After he said hi to his parents, he made his way to the cemetery, leaves crunching under his feet as he came to the Midoriya family grave. He set the flowers on the ground, the name of the woman lying there coming back to him as he whispered, "Mrs. Mirodiya. I promise you, this time, I won't fail Izuku."
…
Toga Himiko had been unconscious for months but one day, she found herself waking up to unfamiliar surroundings, her arms hooked with countless wires and her body aching with disuse. "Himiko. Good, you're awake," Shigaraki said as she felt the bed moving up, letting her sit in a position facing Shigaraki. The guy had a smile on his face, something that made even her freak out sometimes. "What happened? Where's my sweet Izuku?' she asked, the flush returning to her face as Shigaraki grunted, "That kid has been gone for a while."
"What. You mean dead? Did I kill him by accident? I did remember getting blood from him before everything blacked out," she muttered as Shigaraki giggled. He continued to laugh even as Toga removed all the wires from her body, licking the blood that dripped from her wounds as Dabi came into the room. "Ah, the sleeping vampire beauty awakes." "Oh, Dabi! How are you?" she grinned as he stepped back. The room they were in was a little old with disuse but screens were running around the room, with some Villains milling about with their work.
"So tell me what happened after I blacked out," Toga said as Dabi said, "You been out for three months." "Two months?!" she shrieked as she whirled around, checking the date and true enough, she was two months late in her life. "More importantly, did you get your Quirk back?" Shigaraki asked as she turned to him. "As if I would lose my Quirk," she said as she got up and slashed Dabi on the cheek, licking his blood to transform into a flushed version of him. "Ok, that's gross," the real Dabi groaned as she paraded around in him before warping into her naked self.
Dabi threw her some clothes as Shigaraki grinned, "So that kid lost and all the stolen Quirks were returned to their owners eh? Ah, this is so interesting." He glanced around the room, the product of their rebellion against Izuku, who had now fallen off the grid. He didn't even know if the kid was alive but he didn't care. All that mattered now was that he had Master's power in his hand, waiting to be unleashed. "Now, shall the League of Villains get to work?" Shigaraki grinned as he led his team into a new era for Villains.
The characters will return in the sequel.
