[Hey guys, hope your ready for this chapter. i hope you enjoy a bit more of the story]

Third person:

At the battlefield everyone was in a rush, heroes now having got their act together raced around collecting injured survivors. Aizawa had been barking orders like a mad man, getting groups of heroes to scavenge the remains of the base. Until Tsuyu finally was able to haul him to an ambulance where they started to treat his injuries. That whole civilian before hero's thing got thrown out the door rather quickly after they watched Uraraka carry Deku in her arms just asking anyone for help.

The big three plus Eri, were all forced into a containment ambulance and rushed to the hospital, just after the battle. While Sir Nighteye was put in an ambulance almost immediately, then rushed to the hospital to get treatment.

Kirishima was struggling to find a part that wasn't sore, he felt bad for his friend whom he could hear screaming which awoke him from sleep on the back of the ambulance. He tried to move but he couldn't. When the screaming finally died down all he could hear was sobbing. The only thing he could think from the back of his ambulance was.

Oh god. He's dead. Midoryia is dead

He couldn't see his friend, he couldn't see anyone.

It has been a full twenty-four hours since the battle, It all happened so fast and slow at the same time. Someone had taken Deku from Uraraka and started treating him. She just stood there stunned, she didn't remember how she got a spare hero costume on or the check-up she had with the doctors at the hospital.

Aizawa POV:

I sigh with relief as my colleague, Recovery girl finally finished up my treatment. I felt tired but that was all I felt. It had been a long twenty-four hours for myself. First the cleanup and then making sure all my students were ok.

"You are fine. Just rest now." Recovery girl says as she places down her clipboard.

"Not yet my students need me, and I need to make some calls," I say as I forcefully get out of bed and walk out into the hospital hallways. I should be used to them at this point. Being a pro hero, you get to know hospital very well, the last few times though I have gotten to know this place better because of my students and not myself. I feel guilty about the whole situation.

The whole floor is guarded by at least twenty heroes. But I can only see six standing at each of the elevators. I walk along and I check on Kirishima first, he is asleep wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy, only the ends of his red hair can be seen. So I move on.

Next, I come to Tsuyu room, I look in to see her just sitting up in her bed looking out the window. Her dark sea green hair all out, covering much of the white sheets.

"Hello, Mr Aizawa." She says turning around to meet me as I enter. "Feeling better?" she asks.

"Yeah, just now checking up on all the students," I say as I turn my gaze to the city line, I notice it is mid-afternoon, as the afternoon traffic has set in and there is a bustle of people everywhere. "Are you ok?" I ask,

"Yes. I was about to get some rest before you came in," she responds respectfully.

"Yeah sorry. I will let you have that." I say as I do a slight bow and exit the room. As I do, I walk past the glass containment area, I see Mirio crying, while Eri is asleep in another bed in the room next to him. As I turn to go in, I see Tamaki and Nejire enter and sit beside him.

I continue to walk knowing that Tamaki and Nejire will be more helpful to him than myself. As I walk, I turn to the final door, I know Uraraka and Deku are both in this room because I can hear the sobbing. I know nothing I could say to her would make the pain go away, it's not like I can help Midoryia anyway. He has been in an induced coma since we left the battle, so he could recover his strength so Recovery girl can heal him.

I forget the next five minutes as I traverse the white corridors. I somehow made it up onto the roof, I look up to the night sky and sigh.

"Hey Shirakumo, if you're still looking out for me. Could you look after my students instead? This whole situation feels all too familiar." I say speaking to the stars who twinkle in response.

[So sorry to break now, I just wanted to explain who Shirakumo is. Shirakumo was a named said by Present Mic in chapter 216. Now nothing has been said about who this is or his connection to Aizawa but I decided that I would put him as a dead sidekick. I will explain more during these chapters. I just killed him even if we find out later, he is alive in the actual manga, because I don't know how deeply he affects Aizawa. Anyway, sorry again for breaking the story up.]

I pull out my phone and dial All Might, it rings for only a second before. "Aizawa! How is everyone? Are they alive? What can I do? How are you?" All Might says firing off questions from my phone in that booming tone.

"It's ok, everyone is alive. Midoryia is the worst off from our class. He is currently in a coma for a few more hours before we are going to have recovery girl heal him." I say trying not to sound like an ass at the blood spurting on the other end, clearly, he got excited and was in his muscular form.

"Ok, I am on my way over with Ashido and Todoroki." He says,

"One more thing. Recall all the students." I say sighing knowing how upset they will be.

"Principle Nezu has already recalled all students from the second and first year. Only third years are allowed to stay." All Might says as he hangs up the phone.

As I bring my phone down, I realize that I must make one more call. To recover something that was lost to me so long ago. "You know, I hated how you were always right." I say back to the sky, "You told me to hold onto her. I didn't I just hope I haven't ruined it." I say as I dial a number I haven't dialled since back when my Shirakumo was alive.

I just hope I can recover what I lost all those years ago.

Mirio POV:

I don't know how long it has been since I got off the ambulance. I haven't stopped crying, at first, I was crying because my underclassman was in so much pain and no one was doing anything, then I was crying for Sir Nighteye. My mentor, my friend, who was not far away from death's door. Then just recently I started crying because of all my hard work, all my training. My entire life has now come crashing down around me.

"I lost my quirk." I cry out, trying to stay quite so Eri can sleep in the room next to me. I just feel so lost; my entire life now means nothing. As I continue to cry, I hear the door open and I hear two sets of footsteps. I feel a comforting arm get wrapped around me, and I feel two soft hands pull my arms away from my face to reveal the streams of tears.

"Hey, buddy. You ok?" a voice who is usually nervous and jittery. I turn to see my friend Tamaki, he has his arm wrapped around my shoulder and I notice he isn't in his hero costume.

"I feel so lost. My life is over. How can I become a hero now?" I pleadingly ask as I turn to see my other friend Nejire. She has tears in her royal blue eyes.

"Of course, you can," Tamaki says he gives me a devilish grin that I have never seen before in my entire life. "Eri's quirk is rewind. If she learns to control it. She could rewind you back to the state when you had your quirk. And anyway. I have been doing some digging in the reports on the bullet. They are still figuring stuff out. It may not be permanent. For all, we know you could get it back in a week or right now." He says way bubblier than I ever expected. He has that devilish grin still and a look in his eyes I have never seen.

"And you don't need a quirk to be a hero!" yells Nejire who is now really crying. "You could be Eri's hero and you could also be my hero!" she yells as she leaps onto me. I am in shock my arms don't move as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I feel her tears drop onto my back. Never have I seen Tamaki smile like that or received a hug so full of emotion from Nejire.

"We need our hero." Says Tamaki more in his usual tone of voice I know so well. Nejire is still crying onto my shoulder. I decide enough is enough.

"No, you don't. You are heroes already." I say with my usual vigour as it returns. "Eri needs a hero!" I yell as I pump my fist in the air. "I will be her hero."

"Thank goodness," Nejire says as she curls up onto my lap wiping away the last of her tears. "I know this is a bad time but," she stops I see tears welling up in her eyes again.

"We can talk about this later," I say as I stroke her hair, I then hear movement from the room next to me. We all turn our heads to see Eri, in a red and white dress, her frost like hair and rose eyes stares at us.

"Deku?" she asks innocently as tears begin to form in her eyes.

Mina POV:

Nobody knew we were together, I intended to keep it that way, until today. All Might took myself and Todoroki via the train to the hospital, I haven't seen Eijiro in a week. I was so worried, he always messaged me at night. Without fail even if it was just like two words. Like two nights ago all he sent was.

"Love you."

That was all I needed, my heart leapt with joy when he sent that. I looked at it every morning and every night. But now even as I stared at the message on my screen, I couldn't stop crying. All Might told me he wasn't dead, but I just couldn't get the image of him screaming my name, as he had to roll around in agony without anyone to hold him.

"You know he is ok right?" Asks All Might, even in his yellow suit and little form as I like to call it. He was inspiring. After he said the first word, I had stopped crying and was looking at his eyes, full of hope and determination. Even not being the symbol of peace anymore, you couldn't not be inspired to be like him.

"I know. It's just I was so worried." I say looking down at my grey uniform which now has wet patches from my tears.

"Here," Todoroki says as he hands me a few red roses. "Give those to him," he says calmly as he returns to watching his half white and half red bouquet. It was so unlike Todoroki to care, let alone drop everything he was doing. When we were watching the news and saw Deku fight and then scream in pain before the transmission was stopped. Todoroki was already at the door ready to leave.

I convinced him somehow to wait for more news, which left a very fidgety Todoroki which was funny. But also concerning at the same time. Even now his foot as we are about to pull into the station it is tapping repeatedly.

"All right let's go." Says an enthusiastic All Might. As we get off onto the bustling station, we move quickly and quietly trying to get as little attention as possible.

It takes us not very long to move through the crowds towards the hospital. As we enter, I notice the reporters everywhere all yelling and asking questions. None seem to notice All Might. We finally reach the desk, after half an hour train ride and a small walk, we are here. I can finally see him.

"Hello. Sir." The woman stutters off as she notices the old number, one hero, her eyes almost popping out.

"Yes hello. I am here to see my students." He says calmly.

"Ah of course. But um. Sir Nighteye asked if you came around to speak to him." she then looks sadly at him, "He doesn't have long. A few hours at most." She says as she hands him a piece of paper.

"I will go see him." As he hands Todoroki the piece of paper which is a map of the fifth floor. I check the rooms with 5D being the room that Eijiro is in. I don't wait any longer and I race away towards the stairs. I don't care we are in a hospital I need to see him now.

I finally get to the fifth floor.

Kirishima POV

I finally awake in a hospital bed, everything is sore, I can't move anything really except small movements of my arms. I look up and I don't see anyone else in the room, I sigh knowing how bored I will be for a while.

I then hear running, from the hall, furious desperate running. I manage to just turn my head to see the door swing open and my pink alien princess standing there.

"Eijiro!" she says, as she leaps from the door onto me. Everything hurts, pain shoot everywhere as she lands on me. But then I feel happy, I feel safe again in her arms. I manage to move my mummified body to snuggle her closer even though it screams for me to stop. Then I notice she is crying.

"Oh, princess. Shhhhh. It's ok. I am alive." I say then it hits me, he isn't alive. "Oh god," I say as tears roll down my face. "He's gone," I mutter out as a picture of a green haired boy I had become good friends with appears before me. "Why did he have to die?" I ask.

"What?" Mina asks as she notices me falling apart. Her tone was kind and understanding, but she was still visibly upset.

"Midoryia is dead, I heard his screaming, then Uraraka just crying. I saw nothing, I just heard sobbing. I knew then he was gone. You should have heard his screams." I say remembering the chills it sent down my spine. "It was like death was strangling the life out of him."

"Shhhh." She says as she plants one of her kisses on my face. It feels reassuring like everything was going to be all right. If Midoryia's screams were like the last breath before death, Mina's kiss was like a breath of life into me. I feel my insides melt away instantly, my pain just leaves my body as we stay like this. She finally releases me, and I stare into her caramel eyes, the eyes I fell in love with. "He isn't dead. Just in a coma. All Might told me on the way here." She says as I look into her eyes to search for more reassurance. I find it instantly sighing as if a massive amount of guilt has been lifted off my chest.

"Oh thank goodness," I say as I snuggle into Ashido's neck best as I can.

"But, Sir Nighteye. Doesn't have long. I heard downstairs whoever that is. He has a few hours maybe less." Mina says sadly.

I feel my pain return, as I turn to my princess Mina. To say one thing to her, "Just hold me please."

All Might POV

As I move down the hallway, I finally make it young Midoriya's room. I am hesitant to open the door, I can't forget Sir Nighteye's last words before he passed away.

"He changed the future. He changed the outcome. You chose a great successor."

I struggle to turn the knob, Todoroki wasn't there yet but instead, the most saddening scene I have ever seen greets me as I enter. Two brown eyes, with puffy red outlines. All I see is fear and sadness, not joy like she usually does when she is around young Midoriya. This scene with young Midoriya's body limply laying there, Uraraka just sitting there holding onto his hand. This scene will haunt me for the rest of my days.

"Hello, Mr All Might." Uraraka crocks out, her voice sounds like she is struggling to breathe as her eyes return to the sleeping green haired patient.

All Might you're a hero. Save her heart or have you forgotten what your master taught you?

I think to myself that quickly repeatedly. Finally remembering my master's words that guided me to become the symbol of peace.

"When you have to save someone, they're usually in a scary situation. A true hero saves not only their lives, but also their spirits... That's what I believe. So no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, "I'm a-ok". The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest."

Her ghostly voice fills the room, no one else can hear her but me. So, I do it. I put on the biggest smile I can, and I stride up to Uraraka taking a seat next to her. I look over at my successor, proud he has a friend so dedicated to him.

"He is going to be all right you know?" I ask her, looking at her now speaking with every ounce of confidence I have left. I then see her turn her head to look at me, her red puffy eyes are burning small holes in my heart.

"I just feel like if I let go of his hand." She pauses as she does, I notice a small wet spot under her eyes. "I feel like he is going to slip away. Out of my reach."

"He will recover. He will be stronger than before." I say as I stand to leave. I take one last look at my bandaged-up successor and his best friend. "Please get some rest," I say as I open the door to see Todoroki there holding the flowers he bought.

I bend down to whisper something into the young Todoroki's ear.

Todoroki's POV:

"They need you." All Might whispers into my ear as he walks out the door and away. I just stand there holding my vase of flowers. I forgot that Midoryia had no vase with him, so I went and bought one at a store nearby. That was why I was so late to see my best friend.

As I get my bearings, I see Uraraka sitting there holding my best friend's limp hand. I walk into the other side of the bed and place down the vase with my half white and half red roses. I then turn to look at my green haired friends face, covered in a few scratches but nothing bad, he seems so at peace with himself. Then I look at Uraraka who has red puffy eyes. Little drops of water underneath her eyes.

"I am so sorry Uraraka," I say bowing my head in shame. "He was my best friend, I should have been there with him. I should have not let my pride get the better of me during our licence exam. It is my fault I wasn't there to fight with him. It is my fault you had to go through that." I say as I raise my head to see shock written across the brunette's face.

"It's isn't your fault. Nothing you could have done." She says as fear then replaces the shock on her face. "You didn't see what he fought in person."

"He is my best friend and I didn't do anything for him," I say looking down at my best friends bandaged hand on my side. I am not sure what made me think of this but shock rushes through me.

If he sees Uraraka like this, he is going to push himself to get better. So, she doesn't worry about him! He will hurt himself more! I need to fix this, it is the least I can do.

"Uraraka." I say suddenly, she looks up instantly, "You need to rest." I say as motion my head to the armchair at the end of the room.

"I can't I have to wait for Deku." She says desperately. As she does, I push the armchair closer to the bed so she can have a better view of Deku. Ironically the chair is the same colour as my friend's green hair.

"If he sees you like this, he will push himself to get better way too fast. He will hurt himself more trying to save you for hurting for him." I say calmly. "Rest for him."

She nods weakly as I go to take her spot next to Midoryia, I turn my head to watch her, as she stares at Midoriya she says one last thing before her eyes lids gives up the fight to stay open.

"Please protect him."
