First of all, thank you all for your input on All For One's fate (haha) that leads up to this chapter. I did think about what to do about him for a while and ended up deciding on this outcome. The main reason I chose death over imprisonment was that it just... didn't sit right with me. Chiron is a teacher first, a hero second, but that means that he'd lay down his life for his own students. Not to mention, his entire reasoning for being in Japan was to find and put down the "Greater Evil" of that time— it was up to him how he did it. All for One evaded death more than once via his Quirk. And there's always the possibility of a breakout. Chiron would rather be safe than sorry. Also, All for One just kidnapped two of his students, injured another, and has been messing with the wrong Horseman for too long. Its time to die.

Framfrit: (TL;DR warning, you can jump to the end if you want to)

You're saying this like I don't know this. Yes, I know that Astolfo was able to use Achilles' NP because of his legend, and yes it was given, but it still does state that only Akhilleus Kosmos can be used as a world to crush his enemies by Achilles. Granted, I've only read parts of the extra material since I don't have a.) a copy and b.) a full translation. I admit I twisted Karna's abilities a lot to match with the BNHA universe, but that's not the main focus. Akhilleus Kosmos cannot be used as Achilles used it when the Phantasm is borrowed. Since Achilles was going to be brought up more due to association with Chiron, I wanted to keep him and his phantasms as true to canon as possible. On that note, technically Enji and Toshinori wouldn't be able to use noble phantasms. That's why they're much weaker in this chapter than they would have been in the hands of their original servants. In short, yes, I did know that Astolfo and Achilles were able to exchange the Phantasm because of Astolfo's and Achilles' legends but because of Chiron's Wisdom of the Divine Gift working a bit differently than Achilles' legend, there are some restrictions as well— namely, the original fact that the borrower cannot use Achilles' method of attack with the shield. Akhilleus Kosmos wasn't originally even going to be in the story, but things happen in drafting. I also stated in an earlier chapter that there's been Grail intervention— (The Greater Grail had shifted phantasms and abilities from the Trifas servants to him as part of their deal. It worked well with his own skills, if the time came he could hand Astolfo what he needed as well). So yeah, things are different. Also, yes, I also do know that Karna's flames come from his Mana burst, but eh I wanted to make it work with Enji. Sue me, but you gotta also sue everyone who ships Chiron and Achilles too because that shit is incest and we don't do that on my lawn.

TL;DR— Yeah, I know about the stuff in the material. That doesn't change the fact that Astolfo still can't use Akhilleus Kosmos to drop a miniature world on top of his enemies to crush them. If he could, uh, there wouldn't be much of a fight and I like writing battle scenes. That's actually the only reason I don't make servants too OP aside from Character Studies— I like fights.

Frostlash: Remember, Jeanist canonically survived as he's mentioned in the Rankings Arc in the manga as "taking a break". Once again, any extra things outside of the main plot are going to be put into a book of oneshots, so you might see Astolfo and Asui braiding each other's hair, you might not. It all depends on how many oneshots I do. I have a few planned, but nothing is definite.


Enji Todoroki wasn't one to like being ordered around. He liked to be the boss of his own self, thank you very much, but he wasn't stupid either.

He knew that the black-clad villain before them all was not someone to be taken lightly. That was further drilled into his head as he gazed at All Might's weakened form, still fighting and giving his all in this battle. It was further solidified as the villain dodged Edgeshot and that woman effortlessly, despite their speed.

Enji wasn't stupid. And Chiron had given him an order. He had given him an order, one that he swallowed his pride for and followed, moving to higher ground.

Chiron was smart, he was skilled, and he had ages of experience. Enji wasn't stupid and he knew that in order to win he had to play the part of a rook or knight instead of the king. So he did, canceled the excess flames that covered his body, holding the lance of Karna in his hand as he focused on rerouting the energy normally used for his Quirk into his Magic Circuits.

Edgeshot and Gran Torino had taken off at Chiron's order not too long ago and that left only those in possession of Noble Phantasms in the area.

Chiron had scaled to higher ground as well as the blonde woman took off towards another direction. The girl staid where she was, gripping her scythe.

"All Might!" the Archer yelled and the blonde leaped out of the combat with the Villain. Enji felt his circuits spark before his body moved on its own. He raised the lance above his hand, watching with a strange sense of calm as a circle with an asterisk-like star formed out of flames behind him and a symbol akin to an eye in front of him.

Words bubbled up from his throat that he didn't realize he knew.

"On the battlefield, there is no more weakness," he murmured, "My father. I ask for your forgiveness. For the first and last time."

"Awaken from a golden dream," he heard All Might, despite the man's form being quite far from him. The sword of Siegfried in his hand and raised high.

A column of blue energy exploded from the blade and reached the sky. "Be released from your cradle. The Evil Dragon shall fall and the world will reach its sunset. I bring you down—"

He thrust the lance forwards and a blast of flame that felt hotter than his own exploded from the tip. "End everything, VASAVI SHAKTI!"

"BALMUNG!"

Both flames and blue energy crashed onto All for One as the number one and two heroes poured their reserves into their attacks. Enji felt like his blood was on fire as he lowered his lance and All Might's energy dissipated.

The flames subsided and the Flame hero's eyes widened as he saw the black-clad villain still standing. He was burnt to hell and back and bleeding in certain places, but he was still alive and conscious.

"Thanks for buying time!" the woman (Musashi was her name, he thinks) yelled as she leaped from her spot, swords drawn. A large Nio appeared behind her with a loud rumble, lips drawn back in a permanent snarl as it raised the four swords in its hands.

"Namu. I place my trust in Tenjin of the Tenman Shrine, the deity of absolute freedom. Hadoukannon, use my rage to sever evil!"

The four massive swords the Nio wielded were swung down, following her movements as she slashed the air with her own swords. Each of the large blades was met with a mass of metal or a blast of energy before the phantasmal being vanished. A violet light burst from the woman before condensing into a pillar around the sword she held in her hands.

"This one blade is my path of emptiness, the culmination of my life! Ishana Daitenshou!" she cried before she swung her blade down. All for One held firm, though he seemed to be struggling finally as the woman increased the pressure on her blade.

"GRAY!" Enji heard Chiron call over the noise and he spared a glance towards the girl.

Her eyes were closed and figures made up of golden light were swirling around her as she gripped her scythe.

"This is a battle that will harm no Elemental," voices reverberated over the noise, seeming to both come from here and from nowhere.

"Approved."

"This is a battle against an enemy mightier than oneself."

"Approved."

"This is a battle to live."

"Approved."

"This is a battle that does not stand against humanity."

"Approved."

"This is a battle for truth."

"Approved."

"3rd State restraint rescinded," A mechanical voice said and her scythe glowed.

The girl spoke and her voice was soft but carried the authority of a king. "Grave for you…"

She raised the scythe above her head, the glow becoming blinding as she continued. Musashi grimaced and forced her Noble Phantasm to stay activated as she pushed her blade farther down.

"Old mystics, exterminate sweet mysteries. All will return to the void!" Gray continued, a golden pillar of light and energy piercing the sky and swirling around her. All for One broke free of Musashi's phantasm, sending her flying back before rounding on Gray, his hand raised.

"Sacred lance, releasing restraints!"

She lowered her hand, pointing it directly up at the villain as lightning crackled in his hand.

"RHONGOMYNIAD!"

With a cry, Gray released her Phantasm. Red-black lightning was released from the Villain's palm in an attempt to combat it, but it was in vain as the villain was hit at an almost point-blank range. Light exploded in the night and the Flame Hero had to shield his eyes as the ground rumbled and the clouds were all but blasted out of the sky.

When the light faded and Enji and the others could look back at the villain, the Flame hero found himself at a loss for words. All for One lay on the ground, smoke rising off of his battered and burned body.

Slowly, All Might, Chiron, and Gray approached as Musashi gazed out over the destruction. Enji made his way down to them as well, hesitating before clapping a hand on All Might— no, Yagi's shoulder. Yagi gave him the barest of smiles in return, blood still dripping slowly from his cuts.

"Stand back," Chiron uttered, startling them before the sky lit up. He gazed up, seeing stars begin to brighten and an outline of a constellation appear.

"Chiron—" Toshinori started coughing into his fist but the Archer shook his head, giving him a gentle smile in return.

"Even if I become a villain," The Archer said softly as he stood back up, the glow fading. "I have to." The brown-haired man turned, giving both heroes a small smile. "You both did well, I couldn't be more proud of two of my, while most stubborn, best students."

In a blinding flash, and with speed that definitely broke the sound barrier, a shot from the stars crashed to earth.

Enji noticed that, while Gray averted her eyes, Musashi and Yagi did not— choosing instead to watch as Chiron mercilessly killed a downed man.

Well. Enji didn't really care about that last part— downed or not, the guy was an evil bastard.

"I suppose…" Musashi said after the light faded. "That's it."

"Can't thank you all enough," Yagi grunted, as Balmung vanished from his hands. Enji glanced down to the spear still clenched in his own before he stepped over to Chiron.

"I'm returning this," he grunted, making the Archer tilt his head as sirens sounded overhead, the emergency responders and media teams starting to slowly arrive.

"Are you sure?" Chiron asked, "You could become the strongest in the world."

Enji scoffed, just shoving the black and gold lance into the centaur's hands.

"Take the damn thing," he said, "You know the laws."

The Archer just smiled. "Yes, I do. Well, if you ever need it, you can call it back to you."

"Whatever, old man," the Flame hero grunted before walking off to go deal with the media. Musashi rolled her eyes at his antics as Chiron vanished the lance, humming a bit.

"Hey, Chiron," Toshinori coughed, glancing over. "You won't be facing repercussions, will you? I mean, you just killed a man."

He blinked, humming again as he gazed up at the lightening sky. "I could, but the Mages' Association got most governments to place me on a type of Scott-Free list for cases like these. I'll have to go in for questioning and the Media will want to know everything, but…" he shrugged. "I'll deal with it."

"Chiron…" Gray said softly and both he and Yagi turned. Chiron's eyes widened as the sun crested over the destroyed skyline. Golden flecks danced in the morning light as Gray gave him a small, but sad smile.

"Young Gray…" Yagi murmured as the Assassin bowed to them, her form already starting to glow as more flecks drifted into the sky.

The girl stood back up, giving him a smile. "Please give Astolfo and Class 1-A my regards, Yagi- no, All Might. And Aizawa-sensei too— a-and the rest of the staff…" she swallowed, voice wavering as Add glanced up at her.

"It… It was fun…" she said softly, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "I had a lot of fun… so thank you…"

She reached up, wiping her eyes before she gave him, Chiron, and Musashi a bright smile.

"Thank you for everything."


Yikes. Big sad moment. Before anyone gets on me for not making the Phantasms powerful enough, remember All for One is tough. I'm trying to balance out everything. Servants are already more powerful than Heroes without a doubt. Not to mention, Enji and Toshinori are humans using Noble Phantasms. There are certain limits that they can do with their own abilities.

How do you feel about someone becoming a master? Asking for a friend.
