Twenty minutes ago...
"Mirio Togata, how is she doing?" Mr. Aizawa asked, focusing on the little girl clutching onto Togata's pant leg.
Mr. Aizawa didn't even look at the quirkless teen.
"You can just call me Togata, sir," he told him with a smile, "And she's doing just fine. Right, Eri?"
She showed off her big, shining smile, just like her time with him at the School Festival's concert. The horn on her forehead had gotten a bit bigger, big enough to accidentally lose control of her quirk any day now.
"I need to take her for a minute. Make sure her quirk is under control," Mr. Aizawa said, more monotone than usual.
"Alright. Go ahead, Eri. We can play when you get back."
She nodded and reached out for Mr. Aizawa's hand. He hesitated for a moment, but took it anyway. They left one out of many dormitories and headed towards the front gates of the campus. He found the front gate open. No security door in sight, just as planned.
It was dark out, the full moon shining down on them.
Eri looked up at her guardian, wondering where they were going, but he stared straight ahead. He wasn't even acknowledging her.
They soon exited the School Campus and walked down an alleyway close by.
"Where are we going?" Eri asked him, a little scared of the dark.
The dark has been a fear of hers for a while now ever since they rescued her from Overhaul's plans.
Three figures stepped out of the darkness at the other end of the alleyway. One was wearing a top hat, mask and long coat, one was hooked up to a life support device, in a wheelchair and the other was pushing it forward, wearing black clothes. The guy in the chair was all messed up and didn't have a face. It kind of scared Eri.
"It's okay, uh Eri," Mr. Aizawa reassured her with an uncharacteristic smile, "I need you to help this poor man."
This wasn't a nightmare anymore. This devil of a man was in his room! It was really dark, but the moonlight shining through the recently decayed window made it easier to see.
All for One looked different from the last time they saw him. His face was undamaged and an evil grin grew wide satisfaction. He had dark red eyes that burned through Midoriya's bright green eyes. White messy hair sat on top of his head, making him look younger. No, more like a completely different person.
How he'd even get here?! Wasn't he in critical condition?! He looks... normal?!
"Izuku Midoriya," All for One said, sending a sharp chill up Midoriya's spine, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
All for One had his grip around Midoriya's throat, hovering him above his bed and against the wall.
Kacchan?! Where's Kacchan?!
"Get the hell off me, you five fingered freak!" Bakugo insulted.
Midoriya noticed there was another person in the room, holding Bakugo down on the floor with almost all of his fingers touching him...
Tomura Shigaraki.
"That's not very nice, Katsuki Bakugo," he responded with his creepy, raspy voice.
His messy silver hair hung over his face, not wearing the disembodied hand for once. His eyes were peeking through, an evil red gleaming against the moonlight.
The overwhelming aura coming from All for One was so much stronger that Midoriya and Bakugo couldn't think straight. He tried to get out of All for One's grasp, but everything felt so heavy. It was becoming hard for him to breathe.
Bakugo tried to break free from Shigaraki's grasp and blow him up, but--
"Don't even try. If I touch you with all of my fingers by accident, you'll be nothing but dust and powdered bone!" Shigaraki threatened, a free finger from each hand very lightly touching him in a teasing manner, "Such a shame you didn't join us. You would've been a perfect addition to our League."
"Like hell I'd ever join!"
"So stubborn. It's no wonder you had a hard time with him," All for One told Shigaraki, eyes never looking away from Midoriya.
I need to help Kacchan and fast!
With all of his might and what little movement he could muster up...
One for All... Full Cowling... Delaware SMASH!
He flicked his powered up finger straight at Shigaraki, and he got pushed off of Bakugo and slammed into the wall. Midoriya's desk broke and his AllMight figures got knocked over. Seeing the action figures getting crushed or knocked over broke his heart, especially with All for One in the room. The man that brought down The Symbol of Peace.
Before he could compose himself, Bakugo quickly grabbed his wrists and held them behind his back.
"Don't even try," Bakugo repeated his words back to him, "Now let Deku go, or I'll blow you up into tiny pieces."
"No, you can't."
All for One told him with so much dominance, Bakugo's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"What-d-did-y-you--"
Bakugo couldn't speak. He had never felt so small and helpless before.
His power. His will. His whole being. It was different from the first time Bakugo had met him. He was the perfect Devil.
"You can't create an explosion whenever you want. You need sweat. Yours is made of nitroglycerin. You can't create an explosion without igniting it on command."
Is he going to take his quirk?!
Midoriya's heart almost fell out of his chest at the thought.
"H-how did... Ragdoll's quirk..." Bakugo realized as he tightened his grip around Shigaraki's wrists.
"Yes. Her quirk was so useful, I just had to take it," All for One turned his attention over to Midoriya, tightened his grip around his throat, causing him to let out a cough, "It helped me find what I was looking for in the end... One for All."
Suddenly, there were loud knocks at the door and concerned voices calling out from behind.
Before anyone could respond, All for One struck Bakugo with his Rivet Stab quirk and--
BOOM!
Everything happened so fast. One second, Midoriya was face to face with the Devil himself, and the next, he was falling. He hit the floor with a big thud before it was too late to react. His body went completely numb. A heavy pressure laid across his body, unable to move. Something wet and warm was running down his forehead and into his eye, blurring his sight, but he could also feel it all over the right side of his body.
He tried to remember what happened, and All for One's voice echoed through his mind.
"Forced Quirk Activation!"
Kacchan! He made him use his quirk!
Midoriya desperately tried to move, but his body wouldn't listen. Everything hurt like hell.
Kacchan, he's hurt! I have to help him!
He could hear loud voices in the distance calling out for him and Bakugo. They were searching for them in the rubble and debris. His throat hurt so much. It was hard to speak, let alone yell out for help.
Footsteps were approaching him. They seemed to be taking their time, and he instinctively knew full well who it was. He wanted to be wrong.
"Katsuki Bakugo's quirk is quite something," All for One's cunning voice rang through his ears, "I could take it for myself, but I didn't come here for him."
His silhouette came into view, and he pulled Midoriya out of the rubble by his wrist, hovering him above the rubble covered floor. Blood dripped off of him, causing his head to throb profusely.
Through bloody vision, Midoriya saw Shigaraki limp up to All for One, his sleeves all tattered and bloody.
"We got what we came for, Master. Let's-"
"How dare you make me use my quirk!" A bloody and battered Bakugo screamed, launching himself at them, "I'll kill you!"
A bright explosion erupted and almost blinded Midoriya, causing a bunch of bright spots to flicker his eyesight. His body dangled like a rag doll as All for One easily dodged Bakugo's blasts.
"Let go of Deku, you bastard!"
Bakugo's forced explosion really did a number on him, becoming very lightheaded from the blast and blood loss as he forced himself to keep fighting. Shigaraki was able to take advantage of his dizziness and pinned him to the ground.
"You should just give up before you get yourself killed."
Shigaraki broke his battered arm, causing Bakugo to scream through his teeth. Sweat beaded down his forehead, and the palms of his hands were still sweaty. Desperate sparks went off, but they were easily snuffed out.
Midoriya couldn't see a thing, and his ears were pounding from the explosions, but he knew Bakugo was hurting really badly. Hot tears made it worse as they overflowed with so many emotions.
"L-leave... hi-him... a-alone..."
"Ah, he finally speaks," All for One said back, "He was in our way, but luckily his quirk is what helped us in the end. So thank you, Bakugo. We wouldn't have been able to capture him without you."
Capture...Me?!...Not... AllMight?!...
A purplish, swirling looking vortex appeared out of thin air as the Warp Gate Villain, Kurogiri, stepped out to greet his higher ups.
"Everything's all set," Kurogiri told them, "I see you found him. I had no doubts that you'd succeed."
"Leave the gate open for me," Himiko Toga ran over, putting on a UA uniform,"That explosion wasn't part of the plan, right? Oh well. Luckily, I was able to grab some clothes during the commotion. I'm just glad it's Ochaco's uniform."
...Uraraka... Is she hurt?!...
Toga hugged herself, embracing Uraraka's scent.
"Never mind that," Kurogiri interrupted, "Let's go."
He was there for a second, and then disappeared into his own warp gate. Everything felt heavy and numb, and Midoriya couldn't focus on anything anymore. Everything was fading.
"I can't wait to have some fun with you, Izuku," Toga said as she followed Kurogiri through the warp gate.
...No...
Bakugo's body was starting to feel weak. He pushed himself to get up... to save him, but his own body wasn't letting him.
"...Deku... I need to... keep my promise..."
Shigaraki knew he wasn't going anywhere, so he let go of him and went through the warp gate.
...This can't be happening...
Bakugo's sight began to fade, but his hand was trying to create a spark, but it wasn't enough. He couldn't reach him.
"...need...to...protect..."
Class 1-A, and AllMight were in the distance, rushing towards the situation, but there was no sign of Mr. Aizawa anywhere. A few of their classmates were injured, and unfortunately, one of Iida's legs was injured from the big explosion. No one could reach him. AllMight cried out to Midoriya, absolutely horrified.
"Sorry, AllMight," All for One acknowledged, "I'm not here for you... not anymore. I want to watch you suffer."
...Help!...
Bakugo felt so useless, and watched helplessly as All for One disappeared into the warp gate along with Midoriya... and One for All.
"Help me... Kacchan..."
This chapter took some time and longer than the other chapters. I tried to think of a plan, and I'm sorry that I involved Eri. I promise that she's fine. I always thought with Eri around, that therewas a possibility of this happening. Also,more will be explained later!
