Welcome to the next chapter.
Darth Simp; Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, she's smart enough to realize it is. Yeah, One For All and Yuki's power are gonna have some cool combinations coming up. Yeah, some will catch onto it as the story goes on. Himiko could do yeah, it would be pretty cool if she did do that. Nezu and All Might will have a conversation about that yeah. Jiro doing that would be pretty funny to see. Lol, that would be pretty fun to try.
wellingtonlucas282; Thanks!
TheGreatGodzilla; No, it wasn't that Nomu. Twice will still be with the league, what happens to him we'll see. I can't spoil about Himiko, her fate shall be revealed in the coming chapters. Nagant will still be where she starts off in canon, her fate could be different. Hana no not yet. I can't say about things like that yeah, it would spoil some future things.
Nirvash Neo; He is yeah. Yuki's got his Quirk, plus One For All and everything that brings, some stuff will be similar, but some stuff with how the power is used will be different. Yeah, Tomura and Yuki's reunion is going to be quite interesting to explore. All Might will learn Yuki's last name in time.
HolyKnightX; Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. He is yeah, he's had quite a tough time, but he knows there's people he can trust and rely on. Glad you liked the fight! Yeah, his Quirk could do that potentially, especially if boosted by OFA.
kenny21 com; They have mutual respect.
MDM11; They'd be cool. Yuki could help them yeah. Ochaco and Mei will do yeah. He could meet some of them. Thanks for the suggestions!
Clearwing Yuta; Thanks! Possibly~
ShadowUzumaki55; She is yeah. Katsuki does, this will confirm it for her. Haha, she certainly was~ Lets see what happens with Himiko coming up yeah~ All Might is gonna do his best yeah. Glad you liked the fight!
Silver crow; Thanks. Yeah, he certainly will do. Yes, Yuki accepts the Quirk right away, he'll get the Quirk next chapter considering right now he's in no state to do much considering what happened last chapter and all of the stuff he's been through. I'm sure Yuki will be happy to not have to say such things. Yeah, because it's a special thing between them. All Might did yeah. Yuki's fought them before yeah. Yuki and Katsuki are yeah. Yuki and All Might had quite the heart to heart, laying everything out on the table. All Might did yeah, he's gonna try his best to keep Yuki safe, and vice versa. Flying above the walls. He'd want to see Yuki's physical state and fully make sure, but it will be way shorter than Izuku's due to Yuki's kind of life and how it's built his body up. Maybe Yuki will be there as All Might and All For One fight. Yuki wishes to change a good few things. Thanks for the harem suggestions. Yuki's upbringing has given him empathy for others situations, the desire to help people who feel they don't have anywhere to go or are like him, a victim of circumstance and other things like that. It wouldn't take a year for Yuki to clean the beach, even without his Quirk. Without giving anything away, all I can say is I've got some plans for Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye's relationships with Yuki.
djinn; Thanks! Glad you liked the fight!
Andrew123456; That's quite hard to define, everyone has a different way of thinking what a Hero is. I'd say it's someone that wishes to protect innocent people, and wishes to make sure that things are fair for everyone.
MBS41; It surely does~ Yeah, they're gonna be some fun chapters to do.
Momo fan; Next chapter, this chapter Yuki's recovering from what happened during last chapter, and all of the other things he's been through. Glad you liked the fight. Due to his life, his body's been built up quite a bit. Yeah, he gets to have a normal life now, as normal as it can be. Thanks for the hare suggestions.
Guest; Thanks. Glad you liked the moments between All Might and Yuki. Yeah, that's how it is with Yuki, he's had to live such a life where he's always had to do what's best for others, even if it hurts him. All Might though now is going to change that. Definitely the fight between All For One and All Might is going to be quite the battle due to Yuki as well.
With those reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
The important question
Having brought Yuki to the hospital, All Might waited patiently by his side. Seeing his beaten body, and after going over the medical examination, seeing how he was injured, he couldn't believe that was the case at all. All Might had taken Yuki's bag, and laid it beside his bed, and had the stuffed toy All Might placed within his arms, it seemed to bring him comfort.
All Might himself still felt exhausted from yesterday, and felt like he'd not be able to enter his large form for all that long.
Ochaco was also there in the room, so All Might was in his larger form, though he wasn't burning through much since he wasn't doing anything with his power, and he could see that Ochaco was beginning to tear up as she looked over him.
"Young Uraraka, please don't worry, the doctors have said that he's going to make a full recovery."
Ochaco nodded.
"I know...but...why did that thing attack him?"
"I am unsure. However, you're a good friend, being here is the best thing anyone can do right now."
Ochaco looked over Yuki, before she adopted a small smile.
"Because he's my friend, he saved me, not once, but twice...even though he didn't know me...so I want to do everything I can..."
"Indeed, that's very nice of you. Now I have to find that girl to tell her..."
"Girl? What girl?"
All Might turned his eyes to Ochaco.
"There's a girl named Katsuki Bakugo looking for him."
Ochaco's eyes widened.
"Blonde hair...she has a scary personality?"
All Might tilted his neck.
"I couldn't say about personality, but yes, she has blonde hair...have you seen her?"
"I think so...yes, she was at the cafe a few times...Yu-kun said that he didn't know her...but to me it looked like they did...All Might, I have to go to the school...but I'll go to the cafe, and see if she turns up, if she is there, I'll send her here."
"That's very generous of you. Thank you."
Ochaco waved her hands.
"No, please don't worry, it's the least I can do."
All Might's face erupted into a small smile, as Ochaco took off once bowing.
Seeing how determined she was, it was clear that she really did care for Yuki a good deal.
A small time later, All Might (now in his smaller form to conserve power) kept with Yuki, and peered at the young man, seeing that he still hadn't woken up yet. Even though it was mid day, he still hadn't woken up, he was assured by the doctors that he would eventually, he still was worried for the young man as he had seen what he had been through.
As he waited, a small animal that was named Nezu came into the room, his eyes going towards the young man.
"So this is your successor, is it All Might?"
"Ah, Nezu. Yes, that's right. Even last night, he protected me again."
All Might revealed, with Nezu furrowing his brows.
"What was it that attacked?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I do know it had multiple Quirks. And that told me immediately that this boy is being attacked by All For One."
Nezu's eyes widened when he heard that.
"All For One...but why?"
"I don't know why, beyond perhaps he wishes to have the boys Quirk. Indeed, his Quirk is powerful, after I saw what he did yesterday."
Nezu looked quite surprised.
"For someone so young and without formal training to fight off a being with multiple Quirks, is amazing."
"The boy might not have had formal training, but he did have battle experience, he was elegant in his movements, swift, precise. It could only have been brought up with harsh conditions."
Nezu's sad eyes went towards Yuki.
"To think that he's been alone this entire time...having to deal with a monster like All For One."
"I will not allow All For One to get his way. That's why this boy needs to be protected no matter what happens."
"Yes, you're right. I've seen the boys medical reports, poor child must have been in constant pain. I've been meaning to tell you, there's been a plan that I've thought about setting up, I think this might be a good time to get it underway, it will certainly allow this child to live comfortably and safely."
All Might raised a brow.
"What do you have planned?"
Nezu showed a small smile.
"Just trust me, you gained that boys trust, leave the rest to me. I promise, it will be good for both you and the young man there."
All Might became curious as to what Nezu had planned.
As they spoke, Yuki's eyes began to open.
He groaned as he felt pain erupting across his body.
"Ugh..."
"Young Yuki!"
Nezu bowed, and left without a word, leaving the pair alone together.
Yuki's eyes glance towards All Might, groggy from what had happened to him recently.
"All Might...I feel dizzy..."
All Might latched onto Yuki's hand.
"You'll feel like that for a few hours, due to what the doctors have given you to help, it will pass."
The young boy nodded, as Yuki's mind replayed the events of the previous night, before his eyes widened.
"Uraraka-san-"
"She's okay, don't worry about her."
Yuki hoped that was the case.
All Might then leaned closer.
"I'm going to get the doctor, then we have something's to talk about, okay?"
Yuki nodded, and laid back as All Might left.
As he did, Yuki looked at his body as he lifted the sheets.
He then saw the toy Tenko gave him which caused him to adopt a soft smile.
A small time later, Ochaco sat within the same cafe that she had met Yuki, the time now being after school. She was going to be going to the hospital soon enough. She also waited there, to see if Katsuki would come by.
While doing so, she saw that Katsuki came into the cafe.
Her eyes looked around, but didn't see Yuki.
However, she saw Ochaco so she stormed over towards her.
"You, where is he?"
Ochaco felt nervous all of a sudden.
Inside, she could feel her own body freezing at the sight of Katsuki.
"I-I suppose you heard then..."
Katsuki didn't know what that meant.
"Heard, what? Is something going on?"
She demanded, so Ochaco explained.
"Yu-kun, last night, he and All Might were together, when some creature came down and attacked them, he's in the hospital near here now..."
As Ochaco explained, Katsuki's face fell.
"What!?"
Ochaco cringed as Katsuki turned and ran out.
"W-Wait, are you Katsuki Bakugo-san?"
Katsuki didn't answer as she was in a hurry.
She ran as fast as she could, but she didn't know where she was going.
While she did run however, something was following her from the shadows...
As that happened, Yuki spoke with All Might as he laid in his hospital bed.
"So...Young Yuki, last night, was rather intense, wasn't it?"
Yuki adopted a pained smile.
"Yes...All Might, I'm sorry that you got caught up in that...I can see that you're still in pain..."
All Might shook his head.
"Don't apologize to me, everything's fine. I did what I did because I wanted to keep you safe, and I'd do the same thing again for you Young Yuki."
Yuki's lips curled upwards.
"All Might...thank you. Thanks to what you've done for me...I really am so thankful. But...this, is it really...okay? I mean...that man, he might come after you, I don't want you to always have to be looking over your shoulders."
All Might waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I've already decided."
Yuki adopted a small smirk.
"Stubborn to the end huh?"
"That I am! So stubborn!"
Yuki let out a small laugh.
All Might did the same thing.
But then he became serious.
"Young Yuki...the man that wishes to do you harm...did he ever tell you exactly what he wanted?"
"He just kept saying...that I should die, he never said why...he didn't really tell me what I did for him to decide this...but he said if I went for help...then they'd suffer, those people that I went to, people I care for...he showed me what he meant by hurting innocent people. I didn't want Kacchan or anyone to suffer like that..."
All Might heard what he said, and then furrowed his brows.
"And that creature, is that the first you've seen?"
"I've seen others like it, with all sorts of weird looks, but they all had their brain exposed. Things with wings, one with claws, all sorts. I always managed to get away and incapacitate them somehow. They usually have different types of powers."
"Different powers..."
If All Might wasn't convinced before, he was now that Yuki was being targeted by All For One, even if neither knew why, it didn't make a difference as Yuki still was a young boy that needed protecting, no matter what.
"Yes, that's right. But All Might...after last night, how are you feeling? You said...you couldn't use your power after a certain time passed, is it still like that?"
"I haven't recovered from yesterday fully it is true, but if need be, I can and will push myself into using my power."
"I see...All Might, may I ask you something?"
All Might raised a brow.
"What is it?"
"There's a girl...named Himiko Toga, I need to find her, and make sure she's okay."
All Might tilts his head.
"And that is?"
"She's a girl...she has these impulses, something she can't control. I think that things could end bad if her compulsions get the better of her and she could end up hurting someone...not because its her fault, but because it's something she can't control, something that she's never had help expressing, at least that's how I feel based on what she did, what she said and how she acted. I want to help her, to be there for her... I know I've asked a lot already... "
"If you think this girl needs help, then we'll do our best to help her."
Yuki looked relieved.
"Thank you All Might."
All Might smiled, as they spoke to one another.
As All Might and Yuki talked, the door suddenly opened so All Might switched right to his larger form, and revealed Ochaco coming inside.
Her eyes met with Yuki's own.
Many emotions came over her.
His and her eyes locked together, and she began tearing up, while Yuki felt his own emotions being stirred by the looks she was giving.
"Uraraka-san..."
He wasn't sure what to say.
But when Ochaco pulled closer, her hands wringing together.
"Yu-kun...you're awake..."
Relief came over her, and she walked over immediately, almost practically running.
Before he could comment, she ran up and wrapped her arms around him.
It was...shocking.
But it felt good at the same time.
All Might thought that it was a sweet scene so he stood up, and left the room, giving them that time alone.
Meanwhile with Katsuki, she had made it to the hospital, but was having trouble finding Yuki, since he wasn't under the name Yuki, and for his protection, he was put under a different name all together. She could see some Hero's walking around, but she didn't entirely know why that was either.
"Yuki...you're here, aren't you? That girl said my name as I left, she must have known..."
Searching throughout the building...
She paused when she felt something behind her.
Looking down the empty corridor, she stopped and looked at every different angle that was before her eyes.
But she couldn't see anything.
"Maybe I'm imagining it...but was something there then?"
Katsuki kept searching around for anything.
But she saw nothing.
Still, it didn't make her feel any safer, she felt like something was there.
What she didn't know was that there was indeed something following her.
And that was the sludge villain, he was going right for her, with a sinister smirk on his lips.
"I lost to this girl and her friend before, and they both had strong Quirks. Heh, in this kind of setting, I could truly cause a lot of damage...and no one gets one up on me, I wont let this exploding girl, or that earth bending guy win against me. Since that exploding girl is before me, I'll go after her, and then I'll try to find the earth bender...wait, I'll follow her, and see why she's here...it might give me even more to work with. Using both of their Quirks, I'd be pretty damn powerful...hahaha..."
With his disgusting plan within his mind, he went right for Katsuki, but stayed mindful that he was still in a place he could see some Hero's, so he didn't want to make a desperate move until he knew for certain it was going to work.
Back with Yuki and Ochaco, she kept her arms around him, as tightly as she could do, while he looked down towards her.
"Yu-kun! I eh...All Might said that...eh...yeah...erm...things happened, some weird creature...and you were attacked...I was really worried."
"I'm sorry for worrying you...I owe you an explanation...for what happened..."
With only them around, Yuki began explaining what happened.
He couldn't explain everything right now, he'd have to go over that with All Might, but he could explain certain things.
Hearing it, she was shocked to hear such things.
How much he had been through...
"Wow...that's so much. But I'm glad that you're okay now Yu-kun."
"You're so kind...I'm okay now, feeling pain but...yeah, not bad."
"I'm glad you're okay, I was really frantic with worry."
"Sorry about that, it seems that all we do is get involved with Villains and such huh."
Ochaco giggled.
"Yes...it seems that we do huh."
Yuki gave a light chortle.
"But Uraraka-san, I have to thank you...for being my friend. Even though it wasn't all that long, I got to experience a friend again, and I hadn't experienced that for a long time...I liked the times we spent together, I really enjoyed every moment of it, and I hope we get to do even more fun things together."
Ochaco began tearing up when she heard that.
It meant so much to him, that he thanked her for something she thought was so simple, a friendship.
It was easy being friends, as she thought he was really nice as well.
"Also...I should tell you, my name is Yuki."
Ochaco smiled at the name.
Yuki leaned forward.
"Uraraka-san, I'm glad that you came into the cafe, and I got to serve you hahaha~"
"Hehe, Mini Might served me and saved me~" She giggled out, but then her face turns serious. "So, what happens now? Do you go into protective custody or something?"
"...I don't know what will happen now...but I trust All Might. I want to be able to stay with the friends I've made. So I guess..."
"Say, if you don't mind me asking, how did you...make money? I know you did the cafe, but did you do anything else?"
"I did a lot of things, like I work for...an inventor, who seems to make things that try to kill me..." Ochaco's face dropped as he laughed awkwardly. "I was a butler, in a butler cafe once."
"Butler cafe huh?"
Yuki nodded with a small laugh.
"There was this shy girl that came in most days, she was so sweet, whenever she asked for me to serve her, she looked so nervous about doing it, though she was wicked smart, and very mind. But I had to move on from that so I've not seen her in a while. I've done other jobs, like working in regular shops part time, walked dogs for people, done odd jobs for people, quite a few things~"
"So, you've like been all over Japan?"
Yuki nods.
"For the most part yeah. I've seen many sights over Japan. I even contemplated going to a different country, but getting things like a passport and other things like that would have been quite difficult. Plus you know, as a kid, I don't get paid much."
Ochaco stifled a small laugh.
"I can get that~ So, are you going to become a Hero?"
"I'd love to...yeah, if I can, I'd definitely want to become a Hero..."
"Maybe we could become Hero's together?"
Yuki beamed at her.
"I'd love to become a Hero with you."
Ochaco smiled with redness growing on her cheeks, and continued speaking to Yuki for a good time.
As Ochaco and Yuki did speak together, Katsuki searched the hospital, and eventually found the young boys room, since she had gone through every room, and he wasn't there, she knew he would have to be on the other side of the door. Her eyes went towards the door, and she felt her hand moving up to push the door open.
But then, the door did open, and revealed Ochaco coming out.
She gasped when she saw Katsuki stood there.
"A-Ah..."
Before she could say anything, Katsuki shot her a look that told her to stop speaking.
So she did, and walked out of the room.
Katsuki watched as Ochaco bowed her head.
"I'm just going to get some chocolate...a-and, erm...y-you are Bakugo-san, yes?"
"How do you know my name? Did...inside that room, is he in there?"
Ochaco nodded.
"You know Yuki-kun..."
Hearing her say his name, told her everything that she needed to know.
Yuki was in the room.
All of the time that she had searched for him, and he was mere inches away.
"Is he awake?"
"Yeah...he's awake. I...I'll leave you alone, okay?"
Ochaco bowed and left the area, as Katsuki's eyes watch her leave.
She then went towards the door.
Building up the feelings that she had deep within her, her hand went towards the door.
As it did, All Might in his smaller form, and now was spent for the day due to his power being used, watched as Katsuki began opening the door.
"So, she's come herself. I should leave them to have sometime alone."
All Might pulled away, as Katsuki entered the room...
Katsuki went inside, she saw Yuki sat up on the bed, who's eyes went towards her.
She looked over his face, seeing him having some injuries, and how he stared at her, she had many emotions that ran through her.
She wished to express it so quickly.
But it was difficult in knowing where she should land with her thoughts.
However, Yuki, upon seeing Katsuki again, was overcome with emotion, and he ended up showcasing a bright smile.
"You came...Kacchan."
She now knew this had to be Yuki, as only Yuki called her such things.
"Yuki...that's you...you're Yuki."
Yuki bowed his head, knowing he'd have a lot to talk about.
"Yes, Kacchan...it's me. I knew you'd figure out it was me. Didn't fool you huh."
She didn't know what to say as she closed the door behind her.
His eyes traced over her face, while she pulled closer and closer.
"Yeah...I thought it was you...I wasn't entirely sure...but I felt deep down, you were Yuki."
"Yes...I know I've got a lot to explain...but, I want to say...I didn't leave of my own choice...I didn't want to be away from you...I didn't have a choice...Kacchan."
As he spoke, Yuki could see the emotions within her eyes, seeing how she was feeling pain and happy at the same time.
Happiness seeing him again after so long.
But pain as she looked over the state he was in.
Yuki pulled himself up off the bed, but winced and placed his hand towards his ribs.
Seeing that, she rushed to his side.
"What the hell happened to you?"
"That's a long story...maybe it's been on the news, about some winged creature?"
Katsuki did recall it in the morning, but it also said that no real news on what was truly going on, only that it attacked some Hero's, and caused damage to the local area.
"You're saying that was you?"
"Yes...it came to try and kill me. It...It wasn't the first one that had tried to do it either Kacchan."
"Who is it? Why...are they attacking you?"
"I wish I knew...but I missed you." Her heart skipped a beat, as she saw happy tears form in his eyes. "I really did...everyday, I really missed you, I often wondered...what you were doing...how you..."
Suddenly the ground below them suddenly shook a good deal.
"What the hell was that?"
Katsuki said, as Yuki shrugged.
"Earthquake?"
"Maybe..."
Yuki wasn't so sure either, it felt like it was something different all together.
He placed his hand on the ground.
"It feels hot, the ground...do you think something's happened?"
"Like a fire? If that's the case, lets get out of here."
Katsuki went over to Yuki to help him out of his bed.
But in the middle of getting out of bed, Yuki saw something that wasn't natural while hearing an unnatural sound coming from the pipes.
Within his private bathroom, he saw something coming out of the taps in the sink.
Some kind of sludge.
"What the..."
Katsuki furrowed her brows, and looked towards the area Yuki was.
As she did, she saw the sludge that was coming from the tap suddenly burst forward towards them.
Going for the pair of them, she saw it was heading for Yuki, who tried to move, but was paused by the pain in his body, so she grabbed his body and dodged left, pushing the pair of them towards the window.
Grimacing at the pain he felt, Katsuki wrapped an arm around him as he peered towards her.
"Kacchan...it's that bastard again..."
"I knew something was following me, damn it..."
The sludge villain formed on the bed, and his disgusting face went towards the pair of them.
Yuki saw his eyes going between the two.
"So exploding girl, you brought me towards earth bender, did you? That's good, I was hoping that I'd be able to find the pair of you. After our fight, I have been seeking you both out and what would you know? Seeing him in hospital, doesn't look like your boyfriend is going to be able to fight together with you this time, so I've got the advantage."
Katsuki's eyebrows narrowed dangerously.
Hearing his threatening words towards Yuki, she wouldn't allow anything to happen to him.
"You wont be touching him."
The sludge villain began to laugh.
"That's so funny, you think you can take me?"
"There's Hero's around, you wont get very far."
Katsuki spat out, as the sludge villain adopted a smirk.
"The Hero's, haha no, they wont be coming to help you."
Yuki raised a brow.
"What do you mean?"
"I caused some commotion downstairs before coming here."
"What commotion?"
Katsuki snapped at the villain who adopted a smirk on his lips.
"Just set some fires, and the likes, so no Hero's are coming to save you. It's easy to do when you can escape through small surfaces, in and out, no one knows you're there."
Yuki's face scrunched together angrily.
"You endangered innocent lives...for what exactly? Just to get back at us for stopping you attacking us?"
"Please, I don't have that much resentment against you. Sure, I hate to lose to some punk kids, but I've got another goal. I'll be fully in control of your powers soon enough. Your powers, I haven't seen such strong kids, and because you're kids, it shouldn't be hard using your powers, explosions or earth bending, hahaha..."
"In control of our powers...so you can take over peoples bodies, and have access to their Quirk..."
Yuki murmured, as the sludge villain pulled closer.
"That's right boy, now which one am I going to go for...? The powers you both have, I'm spoiled for choice."
Yuki shook his head in disgust for the sludge villain.
"Kacchan, we have to think smart, if this guy gets either you or me, then he could cause a good deal of destruction."
"I know, don't worry I'll deal with this."
"Kacchan, not alone..." Katsuki saw how Yuki was in a good deal of pain, so she pushed him behind her. "Kacchan, what are you doing?"
"Stay behind me, I'll stop this bastard."
Yuki's hand placed itself on the window to support his body.
"His body will make him difficult to defeat Kacchan."
"I know, I've got an idea on how to defeat him."
She then moved forward when suddenly the sludge villain shot forward, so she placed her hands out, and detonated an explosion, blasting the sludge to different parts of the room, but because of the confined space, it didn't take long for the sludge villain to reform, and began wrapping its sludge around Katsuki's arm, yanking her off of the floor, and sent her towards the wall.
"Kacchan!"
He went to intervene, when she erupted an explosion around her hand, destroying the sludge but her body went back, and she hit the wall with a grimace.
She landed on the ground as the sludge villain came at her with its entire body shooting for her, so she pulled towards the windows, as the sludge smashed into the ground, but the sludge then shot right for her, so she set off a good deal of explosions before her, Yuki could see however because of the destructive force of her blasts, the room itself was beginning to feel the effects of the attacks.
"Kacchan, we can't fight in here, it's too dangerous! For us, and for those that are still here!"
"Fine, we'll take the fight outside!"
"What..." Yuki was rushed by Katsuki, who then opened the window, jumping out of said window together with Yuki. "KACCHAN! I CAN'T FLY!"
"WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME THEN!"
Yuki's arms went around her body as Katsuki erupted explosions out of both of her hands, allowing her to control the fall to the ground.
She looked back up to see that the sludge was shooting down for the pair of them.
"He's coming for us, I knew he would, his eyes are on us."
"So you're luring him into a better spot for us to fight?"
"For me to fight, not you."
"Kacchan, I can fight beside you..."
"Not in your condition! Let me handle this!"
She was concerned for him.
She didn't want anything to happen to him...
She didn't want to lose him again.
As that happened, All Might having heard the commotion, and then seeing the fires that were raging inside of the hospital, he went towards Yuki's room to see if he was okay, and to get him out of there.
Even though he had exhausted his powers for the most part since the previous day, All Might was determined to make sure nothing would happen to Yuki, and that this wasn't some kind of ploy by All For One to try and get the young man.
But by the time he got there, he saw that it was almost a battle zone.
"Young Yuki!"
He called, but couldn't get a reply.
Panic rose within him, his mind shooting to the idea of All For One doing this to him.
He saw the window open, so he rushed towards it.
Looking out, he shifted his eyes down the side of the building, and saw Katsuki and Yuki were getting near it, with some sludge coming after them.
"They were caught in some kind of sludge attack...so, the Villains come back. Damn it...and with the fires, the Hero's will be busy evacuating...I have to push my limits..."
All Might began running out, he knew that he had a chance to use his powers for a few moments, he had to do it to make sure that Yuki would be safe.
Getting on the ground, Katsuki pushed Yuki to the side, as he saw several people were around, several people that could be hurt.
"Yuki, get those people back, I'll take care of this."
"...Alright, be careful."
Understanding her thoughts, and how people did need protecting, Yuki began trying to direct them away, seeing that several people were filming them with their camera phones, and more people were on the way. He looked to the side of the building, seeing that it was on fire, and saw Hero's were trying to get people out, and put out the fires, he hoped that Ochaco and All Might were alright.
"Come on then you bastard! Lets do this!"
"Alright then girl, your funeral."
Katsuki growled.
"No, yours!"
Katsuki placed her hands up, releasing an explosion to destroy the sludge, but saw that the sludge avoided in the air, landing on the ground and grabbed what looked like a manhole cover, launching it for the girl.
She pushed her hands down, shooting up into the air, before she came down with a single hand, forcing her fist into the sludge, and set off an explosion as she yelled "DIE!", her signature yell, destroying some of the body.
"Haha, no matter how many times you do it, I can reform, your Quirk isn't going to work with me!"
Like the villain said, the sludge formed around her once more, so she slammed her other hand into the sludge, and detonated her explosive sweat, causing a giant hole to appear in said sludge.
She then was able to get back, as Yuki looked on.
"Damn, seems like my Quirk isn't going to be enough, I need to trap it somehow."
As she thought it, the sludge villain turned his eyes towards Yuki, showing a disturbing smile on his face.
"Hey earth bender kid! So, are you going to be fighting me huh?"
"I wont let you get away this time, you've caused more than enough pain."
Yuki replied as the sludge Villain raised his hand.
The sludge Villain laughed, and then slammed his hand towards Yuki.
People gasped, but as Yuki went to touch the ground, Katsuki got before him, and blasted the sludge away.
"Kacchan..."
"As I said, stay behind me. I've got this."
Yuki placed his hand on his chest.
"Kacchan...don't worry about me, I'm okay."
"You're injured, I am not going to let you get in the firing line of this bastard."
Katsuki erupted forward, her hands shooting explosions behind her to propel her.
Rather than go straight in, Yuki saw her dancing around the villains body, shooting explosions from all over its body, destroying more and more of its body that scattered across the ground, Yuki wondered what she was going to do as he continued helping evacuate the people surrounding them.
Yuki watched on, and could see how hard she was going, her explosions were even breaking the ground as she slammed her explosions into the sludge villains body.
"She's worried about me...Kacchan, you don't have to worry about me...I can still fight, lets fight together against this guy..."
As he thought it, All Might finally got down the stairs, and saw Ochaco was with those that were watching the fight, he was relieved to see that she was okay.
His eyes went to Yuki, and saw he was getting people away, as Katsuki fought off the villain.
He tightened his hand...
But was then stopped when he saw Yuki looking towards him.
He paused as Yuki came towards him.
"Young Yuki..."
"All Might, conserve your power, I know you're still exhausted from last night."
"Even then, this villain...and you yourself, are you still dizzy?"
"Yeah...but, I can concentrate enough. Kacchan and I can handle this. If another creature comes...we'll need all of the power you've got. There's a lot of people here...and if another one comes...you're the best chance we have in stopping it."
His words made sense to All Might's ears, it was clear Yuki thought about every possibility, most likely stemming from the fact that he had to think like this with his life always being on the run.
"...You're thinking rather practically Young Yuki."
"It's better to be safe than sorry, you need all of the energy you have left, and I know you've not got much after last night...and your own injuries as well. This sludge villain, I know how to beat him after observing how his Quirk works. Kacchan and I can do this, the Hero's are saving those inside of the hospital. I know this isn't what you'd want...but, please believe in us."
All Might didn't want to leave it to him, but Yuki spoke sense.
If All For One did try and make some kind of grab for Yuki now, he could use the innocents to get what he wanted, which made sense to why Yuki wished for him to save his energy for such a fight if it came.
He didn't want to endanger Yuki, but after seeing how he handled the Nomu beforehand and this time he was with Katsuki, he believed Yuki was smart enough to do this.
"...Alright Young Yuki, I've sent word to nearby Hero's to come and help out. Until then...I'll keep my eyes out for anything that might want to harm you, and if you and that girl are in danger, then I'll push my power to step in."
"Right, thank you. We'll do this."
Yuki turned back to Katsuki, seeing how she was destroying him and trying to contain him with her Quirk.
The sludge that was being ripped off of the villains body fell to the floor, came right back to its body, though Yuki saw that she was trapping parts of him with how she used her Quirk on the ground to trap it under debris and rubble.
"As if!"
Erupting an explosion before her, she destroyed the sludge only to see that rubble was being thrown at her, from her own attacks carving up the ground.
He tightened his hand, and wondered how best to use his very limited time...
When he saw Katsuki being slammed back, as the sludge villain shot off his hands for her body to try and grab her.
She was going to destroy it, when she saw that the sludge villain had launched several pieces of debris towards the innocents.
She grit her teeth, as she aimed her hands to the debris, and blasted it apart, protecting the others, which made Yuki smile at, but left her vulnerable to get attacked by the sludge.
"Damn it...!"
She growled, but didn't stop destroying the debris, something All Might noticed.
As the sludge got near, Katsuki tightened her eyes as she waited for the sludge to grab her...
When suddenly, the earth came up to form a large shield.
The attack met with the earth, and the shield held, protecting her.
His eyes met with her own, as he manipulated the ground below himself.
"Yuki, stay back!"
"Kacchan...don't worry about me, lets kick this guys ass, together."
Katsuki placed a hand on her chest.
All Might watched on as Yuki shot closer on a pillar, only for the sludge villain to growl.
Swinging out its hand to try and slam into Yuki, the young man evaded one swing of the sludge Villain's attack, and closed the distance between them.
"Get lost!"
The sludge Villain swung both hands forward, slamming it against the earth that was behind Yuki, blasting it away and leaving only floating rubble that was heading for the ground.
But Yuki had planned on that, so while high in the air, he twirled around, with the rubble by his feet.
"Haaaah!"
With both feet, he kicked the rubble as hard as he could, smashing it into the Villain's face.
"Young Yuki..."
All Might murmured, as Ochaco mentally said "Please be okay..." as she watched Yuki flip forward.
He felt dizzy, but he had a task, and he wasn't going to stop until it was finished.
With the Villain distracted, Katsuki began noticing something.
As Yuki was pushing his body, his hair was turning colour. Rather, the hair dye was being erased, and was being left with more blue than before.
Getting beside her, he peered into her eyes.
"The same as ever, aren't you? So damn reckless."
"Coming from you Kacchan?"
Katsuki adopted a smirk.
"So, what are we gonna do?"
"All we have to do is trap him, in a tight area. He can reform, but if he's in a place that is so tightly compact he can't slip through the cracks. Your attacks might not cause it pain, but it can make the sludge be rendered useless for a time."
"You're right, if we work together, this guy doesn't stand a chance."
Yuki nodded, placing his hand on top of her own hand.
"What do you say we go Plus Ultra on this villain?"
Katsuki smirked dangerous.
"Damn straight, lets kick this sludge bastards ass."
Peering at one another, with confidence, with trust in the other, they then turned towards the sludge villain.
He began to sweat as he saw the pair of them standing side by side.
"W-Wait! Don't you dare-"
"That's our line. Yuki, do it now!"
"Yeah!"
Yuki placed one hand on the ground, and caused it to erupt, becoming a pillar below Katsuki and dragged her up, and towards the Villain.
Twisting around him by constantly reforming it to become such a shape, the sludge villain knew what he was going to do, so he tried to shoot Katsuki down with spheres of sludge, but she suppressed him with thrusting her hands out, shooting off explosion after explosion, smashing his body into the ground.
So the sludge villain tried to destroy the pillar that Katsuki was on, only for Yuki to cause it to move out of the way, allowing Katsuki to aim her hand down, and destroy the sludge, with Yuki using his other hand to catch the sludge with some earth, and fire it right back into the area they both wished for the villain to be in.
All Might watched on, seeing how Yuki and Katsuki worked together in tandem, and was highly impressed.
"They're working together so seamlessly, despite them being separately for a time, they are instantly reacting to one another's movements. These two together...they really have amazing trust in one another to get the job done. They don't even have to verbally communicate how to adapt to one another's fighting style."
As All Might thought about it, the sludge villain was panicking.
Each attack he did, was repelled by Yuki or Katsuki.
He tried targeting one, and the other would react, and then they'd work together to stop the villain.
Even when he tried to move out of the area he was in, Katsuki stopped him long enough for Yuki to raise walls to block the villains attack.
"Yahoo!"
"You two go!"
"Yeah, go for it kids!"
The people around clapped for the two as they worked in tandem to suppress the villain.
"Come on Yuki-kun..."
Ochaco smiled, seeing how the pair were fighting together expertly.
The villain felt worried that he wasn't going to win this, he hadn't expected they'd be this good together.
"You don't get to do this! I was winning!"
The sludge Villain began shaking angrily.
Seeing a manhole cover he had launched before nearby, he grabbed it with his sludge, and was ready to launch it with his strength...
"No."
When Yuki placed his other hand on the ground once more, and caused another pillar to come up, slamming into the manhole cover as the Villain threw it, causing it to fly high into the air, and come back down, smashing into the Villain's head.
"Aaaah!"
The villain howled as Yuki locked eyes with Katsuki.
"Kacchan, one final shot should do it. Put your all into it."
"Right, this guy wont know what's hit him!"
Katsuki leapt up into the air.
With the earth having been reformed into what looked like a tightly wrapped cocoon, she aimed her hands downwards.
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Unleashing her strongest explosion which sent throbbing pains through her arms, the force of it caused the sludge Villain to lose strength as he fought to stay stabilized, giving Yuki enough time to finish the tightly wrapped earth cocoon, successfully capturing the Villain.
Katsuki shot down with a spin, landing beside Yuki who looked into her eyes.
But then he took a step, and nearly fell over, so she placed her hands in his own, keeping him up.
All Might watched on with a bright smile, seeing how they managed to take down the Villain together.
Ochaco did as well.
However, she also noticed that they were looking into one another's eyes, and had small redness on their faces.
Cheers came from the crowd.
Yuki could see that his face was on TV now.
Cameras were shot right at him, getting his image.
His blue hair was on display, the same for his eyes.
His eyes went towards Ochaco, and adopted a smile, which made her also adopt a small smile on her lips.
Still feeling dizzy from what the doctors had given him to help, his eyes shifted back to Katsuki.
"Yuki...after all this time..."
"Kacchan I..."
Yuki had so much to say, he didn't know where to start.
But she then huffed.
"Back to bed, I'm not taking no for an answer either."
"Yeah...that might be for the best..."
As he tried to move, Katsuki helped him by allowing him to lean on her for support.
Meanwhile, Himiko watched the entire event play out on the TV screen as she sat in her home.
"That boy and girl, both are...are crazy! Fighting at that age..."
"Being able to cause such destruction at their age...they aren't normal dear, are they?"
"No...clearly not at all."
She heard her parents commenting on how Yuki was a delinquent and other things like that.
But she saw Yuki jump head first into saving Katsuki.
Seeing the injuries she could on his face from the previous night though she wasn't aware of how he got them.
Doing everything he could to help fight and protect.
And it made her all the more excited.
A grin was erupting on her face.
She couldn't keep her desires back for much longer, she wanted to go to where Yuki was...
Day had turned into night, and All Might was sat close by.
It had taken that long to get the hospital up and running, thankfully no lives were claimed in the fires, and they were easily put out, and everything was up and running for the most part.
Yuki also had some more tests to make sure they hadn't missed any injuries.
It was something All Might was thankful for that he was okay.
"All Might...what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just what happened with the sludge villain..."
Yuki could see something was going on.
"Don't worry, I know you've used a lot of your power, and Kacchan and I kicked that guys ass...it's a good thing that evil monster didn't send his creatures to attack."
Yuki's words brought a smile to All Might's face.
"You're so kind...Oh, that girl Uraraka-san, she is also worried about you. She said that she would come by tomorrow to see how you are."
Yuki chortled to himself, finding it really nice that Ochaco was still thinking about him.
"Uraraka-san...that's sweet..."
"Yeah...r-right, I also have to go and get the doctor. I'll be right back."
Yuki nods, and leans back on the bed, while All Might left the room.
As he did, Yuki felt tired.
He hadn't been in such a nice bed for a good long while.
It felt like he could just fall asleep...
However, he didn't have long to enjoy it when the door opened and revealed Katsuki walking inside.
She didn't say anything, as she stared at him.
"Kacchan..."
"Yuki...I was worried about you...I didn't know...I didn't know what happened to you..."
Yuki knew she was, so right he now was explained his truth to her.
"I know...you searched for me...I was told by the police...that you kept looking for me...you don't know how good that makes me feel..."
Before the sludge villain, she remembered Yuki mentioning a winged creature, so she had to ask about it.
"...That thing, on the news...what was it?"
"I don't know what its name is, but it's strong, and...and that's not the first thing that has attacked me...other things have attacked...and if I went for help...the monster that is trying to kill me...I've seen how he'd hurt others to get what he wants, he would have killed you to kill me, if I had stayed. Hero's...innocents, all of it is the same to him, it doesn't matter, if you're in his way, he'll kill that person to get what he desires..."
"Shit..."
"So that's why...I couldn't...I wouldn't let you get hurt for me Kacchan...I wanted to tell you...I wanted to be with you, everyday...I really did. I'd have come back to you...in a heartbeat, if I could...but I didn't want you to suffer. It was hard, being away from you."
Katsuki tightened her hand.
She placed her tightened hand to her chest, and Yuki saw that tears of pain came from her eyes.
"I thought...I've...I've missed you."
"I missed you too...everyday Kacchan...I thought about you...you never left my mind..."
Yuki spoke from his heart, which caused a pulse to erupt from Katsuki's own.
It felt sweet, something that she had wished to hear for so long.
"Damn you Yuki..."
"Today reminded me of the past...I remember when we were little...when we said we wanted to be Hero's...side by side...today, we fought side by side..."
Katsuki listened to what he said, and recalled those past days.
How they first met.
How they became closer.
Before he could continue, she threw her arms around him, so he did the same thing.
Embracing one another tightly, Katsuki nuzzled against his face, causing him to smile.
"You smell good Kacchan."
Katsuki stifled a small laugh.
But then she paused, and pulled back.
She looked at the state Yuki was in, and recalled more things from their past.
But it also made her more determined.
"I'm going to become strong, stronger than anyone! Even All Might wont be able to fight me! Got it Yuki?!"
Something told him it meant more than what she was saying.
She always was passionate when she spoke about being a Hero.
But this felt different.
She by now had faced away from him, so her expression was unreadable.
"Yeah...got it Kacchan."
"Good, because I'm going now. If you dare try to leave without my knowledge, I will hunt you down and drag you back here if I have to, understood?!"
He couldn't see her face still, but he was sure he'd see on her face the fierceness that matched her voice.
"Got it, I wont leave."
Katsuki glanced at him, and murmured "I'll see you tomorrow." before she walked out of the door.
Standing outside of the door, Katsuki inhaled and exhaled.
Turning her eyes back to the closed door, she clenched her fists tightly.
"Yuki, that bastard that took you from me...it wont happen again...I wont be weak...I'll become the strongest...so I wont lose you again..."
Thinking rather than anything else, she left the area.
Bypassing the weakened form of All Might who she didn't recognize, he glanced at the girl, seeing that she looked to have complex emotions on her face.
All Might furrowed his brows, before following the doctor to Yuki's room.
Going inside, and doing some tests to see if he was okay, All Might patiently waiting.
Soon enough, the doctor left, leaving the pair of them alone.
All Might walked back towards the bed, and sat down beside him.
Yuki's eyes went towards All Might, as he looked at the young man.
"What happens now All Might? With everything going on...I was on TV, he'll have seen it by now for sure..."
"First...you come home with me."
Yuki's face began turning perplexed for a few moments, taking in the information that he had received.
But then he felt a warmth within him, growing more and more.
"A-All Might..."
All Might's smile grew larger.
"Would you want that? To stay with me?"
Yuki didn't even need to be asked.
"O-Of course I would...!"
All Might smiled at the sight of Yuki showing a smile.
He then remembered what else he was there for, so he decided to ask a question.
"Young Yuki. With your life now, what do you want to do? If you could, would you become a Hero?"
"Yes...it has been my dream, since I was a little kid. With my brother, and sister...we played Hero all of the time...I wanted to protect them but..." Yuki thought briefly about his brother and sister, before exhaling slowly. "I want to help people, so they don't...have to go through the things I had to...I want to be there, when someone needs help...I want people to see me...and feel safe. I'd love to carry on the dreams of my brother, and my sister...and my dreams, of being a Hero."
All Might didn't ask about his brother and sister, it was clearly difficult for Yuki to speak about, so he chose to allow Yuki to tell him in his own time.
"I think that's wonderful, to carry on their dreams. That's why, I also have something else to ask you."
Yuki became more curious.
"What is it?"
All Might knew deep down, this was the best choice.
He couldn't see anyone else but Yuki doing this for him.
"You saw the wound on me, didn't you?"
Yuki nodded, remembering that.
"Yes, a Villain did that to you..."
"Yes, that's right. Because of that, it has caused me to slowly dwindle as a Hero. I am still the Number One, but as time goes on, I wont be able to keep that going forever, and my time eventually is going to end. So, I've been looking for a successor. Someone to pass my power onto."
"Your Quirk, can do that?"
Yuki was astonished.
He now wished to know what was going on with All Might's power.
"Originally, it wasn't my Quirk, it was the Quirk of seven others before me, I am the eighth wielder." Yuki was blown away as he listened. All Might then held out his hand towards Yuki. "And I want you, Young Yuki to be the ninth, the one that will become the next symbol, something beyond me Young Yuki. I know you have the potential to become something even more, after seeing you go out today and fight after being in such a condition, all to save your friend, and what you did for me, how you fought to protect me, with Uraraka-san. I've seen it, all of your courage, your bravery despite the immense pain you were in, both with your body and your emotions. I can't think of anyone worthier than you to inherit my power."
Yuki felt so honoured about the offer All Might gave, out of everyone he could have chosen, All Might had picked him.
"Me...you picked me..."
"Yes, I think you're everything I have hoped to find in a successor Young Yuki. I remember you speaking to me about why you liked when I smiled. I have to say the same thing, I think you have a good smile, a kind and loving heart. So what do you say Young Yuki? Will you become my successor?"
Yuki didn't even have to think about it.
If he could become a Hero…
If he could gain All Might's power, on top of his own…
Then maybe he truly could make differences in the world.
Maybe he could help people, and save them even more than he could on his own.
"Yes...I will become your successor, All Might."
All Might became excited that he had accepted.
"Great! Then when you're able, we'll get started in the process. Though with your body, it seems that you've got quite a bit of muscle, so maybe it wont be very long before you can inherit the power. Until then, you can relax now."
All Might saw a beaming smile on Yuki's through the happy tears raining off of his face.
"All Might you don't know what you have done for me, for so long, I didn't have anyone to rely on, so it's strange...but I know I can rely on you...thank you for saving me...You are my Hero."
All Might gives a passionate smile.
But then feels Yuki hugging him, so he did it back.
After all this time.
The pain, the strife…
Yuki could finally begin living.
Not just living…
He was going to thrive.
Meanwhile, All For One was being told about what happened regarding his Nomu, and where Yuki was right now. After seeing him on the TV, they made sure Tomura didn't watch the news, if even it triggered a little bit of a flashback and Tomura wished to seek Yuki out right now when they weren't ready for a confrontation with All Might, then they knew it wouldn't be good for them.
"What a twist of fate, I have the older brother, and he has the younger brother. Is it going to happen again? Will brothers clash? And if so...which will come out on top? The younger, or the older?"
"So...is this really okay? If the boys with All Might then we wont be able to reach him without revealing ourselves..."
The doctor showed his concern.
But All For One on the other hand, didn't have any on his face at all.
"The time isn't right yet, Tomura isn't ready to be on his own."
"What if the boy and Tomura come into contact? Even after all this time, he clings to that picture the boy drew for Tomura, the toy of his little brothers...he might not fully remember, but..."
"It is true, even though after all this time, Tomura's heart remembers the love he has for his little brother, even if his memories are muddled, I know by how he keeps those things of his little brothers, and how he doesn't itch when he's looking and holding those things of his..."
"Then what do we do?"
All For One thought about it.
He had to weigh up all of the options, spin it so Tomura would go down the path that he wished for him to go down.
Yuki truly could throw a wrench in Tomura's path...
"Originally, I didn't want him to come into contact with Tomura, if he did and Tomura was swayed by his brother...but maybe this will work out even better than I had planned. Tomura hates All Might so much, that rage at All Might, together with his precious little brother...hahahaha...this really will work to our advantage..."
All For One began to laugh.
The doctor wondered what else All For One had planned.
But for certain, it looked like All For One understood what he was going to do...
End chapter!
So this chapter dealt with the aftermath of what was going on with Yuki and All Might, while also showing Yuki and Katsuki reuniting, and fighting off the sludge villain together, showing their ability to work together, and how much trust they have in one another. Yuki also thanked Ochaco for what she did, and how she helped him, even if she didn't realize by how much.
All For One also seems to be quite happy, in his sadistic way that perhaps one day he'd be able to use the brothers for his own plans.
Well, until next time where Yuki's gonna inherit One For All, thanks for reading!
Yuki; Ochaco, Mei, Katsuki (fem), Shoto (fem), Momo, Himiko, Nejire, Tsuyu, Jiro, Camie, Itsuka,
