It was any regular day of the week for UA nothing seemed out of place and nothing was going on. It was about lunch time for the third years. Neito Monoma was walking out in the school yard minding his own business for once. He had no idea what was about to happen to him and it wasn't going to be pretty. He had been targeted for his quirk which had placed him in 1B but it seemed someone else thought it was more important.

"We are really going after that kid?" Dabi asked crouching down with his mask on his face.

"Yes."

"Is his quirk really that impressive?" he asked, "He looks like a snobby little shit."

All for One laughed.

"Well it's true. Have you seen his hero costume? Come on."

"If you don't think he's that much of a threat, why don't you take him on yourself?" All for One offered.

Dabi hummed for a moment.

"I could do that."

"You think you could take on a kid who's almost pro hero all by yourself?"

"Why not?"

"That seems rather snobby itself, isn't it?"

Dabi shot him a dirty look.

"I've been trying to prove I can do shit on my own. It's what you fucking trained me for, isn't it?"

"I suppose so," All for One said looking more amused now, "Don't get burnt. I don't think your body could handle more burns as it is."

Dabi rolled his eyes and slipped the green mask over his face. It had a crazy, angry look that even All for One would describe as haunting.

"You promised me his death and I want that. That's the reason I fucking went with you."

"I told you I wouldn't interfere unless you have problems. His death is all yours. I merely want to watch is all."

He nodded.

"What are you waiting for?" the man asked.

Dabi slipped the mask on the top of his head.

"Why else are we here?" Dabi asked.

"What do you mean?"

"We can't be risking it all coming to a school like UA for one little boy. Was there another reason we are here?"

"So perceptive as always Dabi."

"So that means yes."

"Well, he disappeared off of the face of the planet and suddenly reappeared. I can't wait to see him again."

Dabi arched an eyebrow and said nothing. He replaced his mask and dropped from the top of the building down into the grass. The blonde boy practically sneered at Dabi and his appeared. He wasn't the type to dress causally since his black jeans were ripped, he had on a white worn out shirt and a black leather jacket that had seen better days.

"What is someone like you doing here? Don't you think it's rather stupid to land into the grounds of professionally trained heroes?"

"Heroes are shit. Get ready to die."

Monoma looked amused by his words.

All Dabi had to do was render the boy weak enough for All for One to take his quirk and finish him off. The old man had already said they could kill the boy and be done with it. They wanted no witnesses to this and Dabi would make sure of that. They had ran out of time the last few times. Heatwave had caused a managed problem which was the only reason she managed to stay alive.

He wouldn't underestimate anyone ever again after that. This kid would just be a burn mark into the fucking ground once he got close enough. He was instructed to ONLY kill the kid so no destroying the whole school. The kid could only copy once he touched someone and some physical like quirks were duds.

Let him touch, my skin is hot enough alone to cause burns.

Dabi jumped out of the way as soon as the blonde kid tried touching him. He managed to light his shirt on fire in the process. Blue flames engulfed the shirt and the kid pulled it off, throwing it to the side. Some of his hairless chest was an angry pink color. Dabi's flames were dangerous beyond flames of regular fire using heroes. The boy looked slightly scared now but he did his best to hide it.

Monoma dodged another round of flames thrown in his direction but the heat blowing off of it was almost too much to bear. Sweat poured off of his face in ridiculous amounts. Dabi dropped down and swung his legs under to knock the boy onto his ass. Monoma swiped at the mask but it didn't work since it wasn't the villain's skin.

"Fuck!" Monoma hissed under his breath as he scrambled to get up.

"Too slow you little bastard!" Dabi yelled with a grin on his face but the boy couldn't see because of that green colored mask.

All for One watched as his blue flame wielding lackey battled and tried burning the UA student but the kid was a lot quicker than they originally thought but his quirk was based on touch... so of course he had to be fast, right? This wasn't a surprise at all but this had to be quick and it was beginning to look like a stale mate more than anything else. Neito Monoma seemed crazy and a tad bit nuts to some but he had the right to be cocky somewhat. His quirk could be powerful if used correctly and All for One intended to use it correctly.

You need to end this quickly.

Dabi frowned behind his mask. He hated when All for One used that stupid mind telepathy shit.

Fucking working on it.

Doesn't look like it from here.

Dabi grinded his teeth. He kicked Monoma in the stomach but that was a mistake. Neito took the full hit and managed to stand. He had hold of his leg and had the other on his bare skin of his burned leg. Dabi knew it was over now and he had to hurry up- even if it meant burning down UA too.

"Gotcha! Dumbass!"

Blue flames shot out at Dabi but a small yelped followed after. Monoma managed to extinguish the flames but his hand was burnt. That great power of cremation came as a double edge sword... it burned your flesh too. Dabi had gotten into the habit of dipping and soaking his hands in a special solution that protected his skin from burning so easily so that was the only advantage he had.

"Not as fucking easy as you thought huh?" Dabi sneered at him.

Monoma bit his lip.

"Doesn't matter. Burnt or not- you're going down."

"We'll see about that."

"Oh my gosh!" Ochako cried waving her hands excitedly, "I can't believe it!"

Shinsou rolled his eyes.

"We still have a lot to talk about but..." Izuku trailed off smiling, "But I'm happy."

"I would think so! This is the kind of thing I thought I would only ever read in my boy love stories online!"

"Wait what-

Izuku chuckled.

"Oh! I forgot! I had a picture I was going to send to you!" she said digging into her pocket.

"What?!" Izuku cried his face burning red.

"It's not like that! Oh... Oh! I left my phone in the classroom. We still have forty five minutes so let me go get it!"

"You want me to go with you?" Shinsou asked.

"Naw," she answered waving him off.

Ochako touched her shoes making them lighter so she could run faster.

"I'll be back!" she yelled to them as she took off out of the lunch room.

Ochako ran through the grass for a few minutes when the air suddenly changed. It felt a lot hotter than normal. She frowned getting suspicious but at the same time something was in her screaming at her to turn around and not to go further but... she couldn't help herself. She rounded the corner and was met with a horrific scene before her.

The retched smell of burnt skin hit her nostrils almost enough to make her want to vomit there and she had barely eaten any of her lunch. She saw a man standing over a UA student burning his arms with blue flames. The kid was screaming a blood curdling scream that would haunt her nightmares for the rest of her life. She had no idea what happened next but she ran back to the lunchroom- everything was a blur. She... she had to tell someone- Izuku and Shinsou!

She nearly shattered the glass screaming their names. Shinsou and Izuku jumped up seeing the panicked look on her face. Her skin looked pale like death. Ochako started balling uncontrollably. She couldn't get the words out right and all Izuku heard was someone needed help.

Katsuki and Shouto jumped up next a few tables down.

"Deku!" the blonde screamed but it wasn't heard as Izuku and Shinsou ran out of the lunch room.

The smell of burnt flesh made their stomachs turn so viciously it took all their control not to vomit. The two of them peered around the corner where the smell was coming from to see Neito Monoma laying on the ground with a scarred up masked man knelt down by him. An even taller, bigger man stood close by with torn up sleeves. Shinsou looked horrified by the burnt body but it wasn't what Izuku was looking at.

It was the scars on the man's arms that interested him.

It's him. It's him- how did he-

"I AM HERE!"

No one moved for a moment but Izuku made the first move. His emerald eyes shining with truth, knowing and pain into the black eyes of the standing man. A wicked grin spread across his face. So it was... it was true after. Izuku heard nothing or even saw anything around him but that man. He never saw the scarred man press his hand into Neito's face and burn him alive.

Screams filled the air but Izuku ignored it. All Might screamed at him. Shinsou tried running to Monoma's side but everything was gone. Katsuki and Shouto came up behind. Shouto glanced at the two villains standing over a very burnt body. The scarred up stood up, staring at him. Blue flames were still lit in the grass here and there but not doing anything.

The two villains disappeared behind some black sludge and left the burnt body there. All Might rushed to the boy's side quickly unable to snap Izuku out of his weird trance. Neito didn't even look like himself and it was hard to tell if he was even in pain. The number one hero got closer to him to see his lips were moving.

It was raspy but it was loud and clear.

'I'm coming for you All Might. You're as good as dead.'

Dabi sat in the bath tub after dumping everything in that he needed to soothe out some of those burns. He hadn't expected the kid to fight as well as he did. Despite his burning hands, the kid fought back hard. Just seeing those burnt and bleeding hands, reminded him of 'training' he had endured as a kid.

"How are you feeling?"

Dabi jumped a little seeing All for One.

"Crispy."

The man smirked and sat down on the tile floor beside of him.

"I could use my quirk."

Dabi rolled his eyes and looked away.

He did not enjoy being touched by All for One. Not even a high five. There was something about the man he just didn't like even though he spent almost fourteen years with the guy. He could be close to him like he was now but there was something unsettling about his touch and hit had nothing to do with the fact he could rip quirks from people's bodies.

His name was what was off about him. All for One. It meant that he only cared about himself and no one else but yet he had put time into Dabi... Raising him... Telling him that he could give him a place in the world and giving him the ability to achieve his biggest desire. There had to be a catch somewhere.

He just couldn't figure it out yet.

"I don't like it."

"I can't help the nature of it."

Dabi held out his hand. The solution in the bath tub was close to heaven. He barely felt any pain now.

"Go ahead."

All for One grabbed his hand and a weird vibration shot through his body almost making him vomit. It made everything in his body feel weird like he had been on a merry go round for hours at high speed. The man let go and watched as the color reappeared on Dabi's face. Dabi let out a shaky breath and sunk down in the liquid some more.

Fucking gross.

"Would you like the next step of our plan?"

Dabi glanced at him weirdly.

"You never tell me anything ahead of time."

"I plan on taking down All Might and taking that child that slipped through my fingers."

Dabi arched an eyebrow, "What kid? I only saw a few kids and that's 'cuz I killed one."

"The green haired one."

"What's so special about him?"

All for One smiled, "Ah... Just a feeling I have."

"Are you still going after those people for their quirks?"

"I might. Depends on my mood. Would you try taking on someone again by yourself?"

"I would if I felt like it."

"Of course."

All for One smiled and left the bathroom leaving Dabi alone with his thoughts.

Izuku sat in his room alone. They had been instructed to stay separated so no one could mix their stories or collaborate just in case there was a traitor. No one said it was student but they were suspicious. How had those two men got in without anyone knowing? None of that is what bothered him...

He was bothered by the fact he knew that man. The creepy smile on his face. The burns on his arms. Memories he repressed flooded back slowly. He didn't know what to do about it. Should he say something?

It had dawned on him that he was the same man going around stealing quirks.

Oh no.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all staying safe! I know it's been a while and I apologize for that! The killing of Neito Monoma was all Raimundo's idea and I can't agree more with the idea! I had forgotten about this chapter until I reread it for spelling errors. I love it because it makes them all aware of how unsafe they really are.

I haven't forgotten about your story AmbertheCat. I have to figure out how to copy and paste it from my phone to this laptop.

Have a great week everyone and stay indoors as much as you can if you can!
