All For One

When Goku woke up he was met by darkness. He had dropped out of his Super state and every single one of his wounds had been healed. His clothes had also been miraculously repaired. He sat up and looked at his new surroundings.

"You're finally awake" echoed all around Goku who stood up and entered a fighting stance, "Stand down Goku. I'm not going to hurt you."

"Who are you? Where are you?" asked Goku as his eyes darted around the room, desperately trying to spot the mysterious figure.

"You're in a warehouse. The warehouse where Nomus are created and stored I should add. As to who I am," the owner of the voice walked into the light and Goku got full view of him. He was tall, wore a suit and wore a metallic mask which appeared to be some sort of respiratory system, "You may call me All For One."

Police Station:

"I don't believe this. Katsuki Bakugo was taken by the League but now you're telling us that Son Goku has gone missing as well?" asked Midnight who was clearly angry.

"I know this isn't the best news but how we handle it is what matters now" replied Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. He and the entire police force were working closely with UA and other pro heroes to save the two kidnapped students.

"Why would they take both Bakugo and Goku? Blackmail maybe?" asked pro hero Ectoplasm, another UA teacher.

"Bakugo's personality may be a reason. The League may believe they can turn him to their cause. As for Goku. I have no idea" admitted Aizawa. He was livid but wasn't going to show it.

"Let's not forget that Ragdoll was taken as well" reminded Tiger who was representing the Pussycats. Pixie Bob had been badly wounded in the attack, so Mandalay was looking after her as well as Kota.

"We won't Tiger. For now, we need to follow up on our leads. As much as it pains me to say this UA staff can't be involved with this raid" revealed Tsukauchi with the respective heroes nodding in understanding.

"Understood. I, Vlad and Principal Nezu have a press conference to attend soon anyway. Good luck" replied Aizawa as the UA staff members left the meeting.

"Why am I even here? Shoto wasn't taken so it's not my problem" scowled Endeavor.

"You're here because you're an UA Alumni. Stop your complaining" scolded an irritated Best Jeanist, the number 4 hero.

"He's right. We have two students taken by the League and they're our main priority," agreed retired pro hero Gran Torino, "What are our leads Tsukauchi?"

"The police believe there are two hideouts. One is possibly this bar which has been abandoned for some time. The other is this warehouse at Kamino Ward. We believe Nomus are stored at the warehouse" explained Tsukauchi.

"Two places to hit. Not much time" mused Gran Torino while Tsukauchi nodded.

"We'll split up into two teams. One team will raid the bar with the police force while the other team attacks the warehouse. Any questions?" Tsukauchi asked before a hand raised into the air.

"Just one. May I accompany the team to the bar?" asked the owner of the hand. All Might's signature smile wasn't present. He was not going to go easy on the League.

Hospital:

Jiro didn't know what had happened when she came to. All she remembered was talking to Goku on their training exercise and then it went dark. She had woken up in a hospital bed with a couple bandages.

"Good. You've woken up" remarked a doctor as they entered Jiro's room.

"What happened?" she asked as she sat up. She ached all over.

"Your training camp was attacked by villains. You were knocked out cold during the chaos. You're lucky to be alive. Whatever was happening near you could've killed you" the doctor explained while Jiro looked around the room.

"How is everyone?" she asked with worry. The doctor smiled.

"The majority of your class were unscathed. Some came out with a cut or two. Others like that Midoriya came out far worse," he admitted, "If I'm being honest, you're lucky to be alive."

"You said Midoriya was badly injured. What about Goku? How's he?" she was praying for a good answer. Instead the doctor sighed sadly. He moved to the TV in Jiro's room and turned it on. The channel it was on showed Aizawa, Vlad King and Principal Nezu in a conference meeting with a number of journalists asking them questions. The doctor turned the sound up for Jiro to hear.

"Two students were taken by the villains. Katsuki Bakugo and Son Goku. Is it possible that due to their aggressive behaviour the villains wish to recruit the pair?" came the snide question from a female reporter. Aizawa stood up and bowed.

"Undoubtedly. Don't let Bakugo's behaviour fool you though. I should have quelled it sooner. However, this behaviour he exhibits is the product of him possessing an iron will when it comes to being a hero. He is an extremely determined and strong-willed person and I firmly believe he will never join the villains for this reason" Aizawa revealed before standing up straight and sitting down.

"You didn't mention Son Goku which means he is more likely to…" the same reported started.

"Let me stop you right there. I didn't mention him because your view of him is completely incorrect. Goku will never join the villains for one clear reason," Aizawa interrupted before leaving the room in suspense for a moment, "He's pure."

"They took Goku?" Jiro was in shock. Tears began to appear in her eyes as the situation finally hit her. Her cuts, bruises and scrapes were from Goku's battle with her assailant. He was defending her and lost. He had been taken because of her. Her tears ran down her face but all she felt was anguish. The doctor turned the TV off and left her alone. He had a look of sympathy on his face as he closed the door.

"It's all my fault. Goku's been taken because of me" she scolded herself. She was far from the truth but to her that was the truth. Her best friend had put himself in harm's way to protect her and as a consequence had been kidnapped. A knock on the door snapped Jiro out of her daze. She quickly wiped away her tears and the door opened. In walked her class.

"Oh my god! Jiro! You're awake!" cried Momo who ran to hug her friend.

"Of course, I am Yaomomo. Don't act so surprised" Jiro brushed off her friend's comment. She was still thinking about Goku's situation. The class began to ask her questions about if she was actually ok. She kept shrugging off their questions and concerns with a smile.

"Alright gang. Let's give her some privacy" announced Kirishima. The class said goodbye to Jiro and left. Well most of them did. Momo, Kirishima and Todoroki remained, "Let's get down to business."

"What do you mean Kirishima?" asked Jiro, slightly confused.

"The three of us as well as Midoriya are planning to rescue Bakugo and Goku" revealed Todoroki, "We wanted your help."

"If you agree the plan is to go get them tonight. Yaoyorozu has made a tracking device after placing a tracker on one of the Nomus that attacked the camp. Awase from 1-B helped plant it" Kirishima explained.

"The others, especially Iida, dislike our plan and are completely opposed to it. If you decline, then we totally…" Momo sighed.

"I'm coming," Jiro cut her off catching Momo, Kirishima and even Todoroki by surprise. Jiro looked determined, "It's my fault Goku was taken. I've got to make up for that mistake. Let's bring them back."

Kamino Ward – Nomu Warehouse:

"All For One?" asked a fearful Goku. He'd never heard of him but something about him was eerily familiar and not in a good way.

"That is correct. I am the true leader of the League of Villains. I've been running the whole operation from behind the scenes" revealed the villain. He was calm, well-spoken and somehow his voice was comforting, "I even created you."

"You…what?" Goku was unsure of how to respond. He couldn't have been created. He had been born. He was sure of it.

"Well not created per se. More like I made you what you are today" All For One admitted.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Goku asked with what little courage he had at the moment.

"Your quirk. The reason you are so strong is because of some tampering I did," replied the villain, "Have you never wondered why you can transform or why your Super state is linked to rage? Surely you must have. You're smart."

"I don't know. I just assumed my quirk had evolved somehow" Goku responded while trembling. All For One dropped his head.

"How disappointing," he sighed before looking back up at the boy before him. He slowly approached. Goku scooted back in fear and anticipation but no attack came. Instead All For One got closer and loomed over him. Then he looked down.

"You have more than one quirk Goku. Ki manipulation is your original quirk. I simply transferred two more to you" revealed the villain.

"How did you do that?" asked a still terrified but now oddly intrigued Goku.

"My quirk is called All For One. I can steal quirks, stockpile them, use them in a number of ways and combinations and finally I can transfer quirks I have stored to others," explained the villain before a grin appeared on his face, not that Goku could see it, "The quirks I transferred to you are Transformation and E Factor."

"E Factor ties into the emotions of the person. Transformation is self-explanatory although it has clearly changed quite dramatically from what I assumed would happen," All For One admitted. He grasped Goku's head in his hand and the boy's body locked up, "I'll be taking them back now. Thanks for strengthening them."

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Goku in pain. He could feel his quirk being ripped from him and the pain that came with it made Cell's power look like child's play.

"This will be over soon" said All For One. Goku forced himself to open his eyes which narrowed in pain. He clenched his jaw. This was it. He was about to lose his quirk and with it his chance fulfil his dream and promise. Anger swept through him before dissipating. It was replaced by happiness and serenity. He smiled and felt at peace. There was no stopping the process, but he didn't mind. He thought back on all his martial arts training and all the friendships that made him stronger.

"I can still be a hero" he whispered with hope and happiness.

"I highly doubt that" responded All For One but Goku didn't hear him. He closed his eyes and smiled. Remembering all the good times. That was when something changed. His face appeared younger and his body looked slimmer yet still showed his refined muscles. His skin took on a slight pink tone. The most glaring change was his hair remained in its base form yet was now glowing a bright magenta red. All stray hairs disappeared. Goku's eyebrows became the same colour as his hair. An aura appeared around him which resembled a raging fire.

"What is this?" muttered All For One in surprise. Suddenly he looked at his hand in shock, "No. He's rejecting the transfer. I can't take his quirks!" Sure, enough the process reversed and Goku found himself regaining strength as the pain disappeared.

"That's not possible! This has never happened. Not only is he rejecting the transfer, but it appears as if he only has one quirk. His original quirk must have absorbed the other two into itself" pondered the villain as he desperately tried to change the situation. Goku suddenly opened his eyes. His irises were now red and appeared relaxed. Then there was a blinding red light that encapsulated both All For One and Goku. An explosion erupted from nearby, sending the pair flying away from each other. Once the smoke had cleared All For One was standing up and brushing his suit down. He used one of his many quirks to find Goku but all he found instead was a hole in the warehouse. He wasn't visible from it but there was a group of heroes coming through it.

"Cell. Retrieve Goku. I'll deal with these heroes" he commanded the Bio-Android before straightening his tie and walking over to the heroes. Cell watched him before turning and sensing for Goku's ki signature. He smiled when he found it.

"Found you."

Moments Earlier:

"We're here" whispered Kirishima. He along with Jiro, Momo, Todoroki and Deku had arrived at a warehouse in Kamino Ward. Iida had tagged along to keep them out of trouble.

"The tracker says this is the place," admitted Momo. Iida and Todoroki put Kirishima and Deku on their shoulders respectively. The group were in disguises so not to draw attention. Jiro and Momo kept watch.

"I see two people in there" whispered Kirishima who was using night-vision goggles. They appeared incredibly expensive.

"Are you okay Kyoka?" asked a concerned Momo. Jiro was fidgeting in anticipation. She was also incredibly anxious about what could happen.

"Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine. Eager to get the two and leave" she defended her behaviour.

"You're still beating yourself up for what happened. Kyoka it wasn't your fault" Momo assured her.

"No, it was my fault Yaomomo!" snapped Jiro before realising what she had done. She sighed, "Goku may have been better off without me."

"Don't you ever say that. Goku knew what he was getting into when he fought that villain. He knew the consequences of his actions but still fought him. He cares about you yet all you see yourself as is his burden," Momo scolded quite angrily before looking off into the streets, "He would die for you, you know?" Jiro didn't expect that, and a blush crept its way onto her face. She pondered that for a few moments when something happened.

"What is that?" asked Kirishima quietly.

"I'm not sure" replied Deku before a bright red light blinded the pair. They leant backwards trying to shield their eyes nearly causing Todoroki and Iida to drop them. Then an explosion ripped through the air as Mt. Lady punched a hole into the side of the warehouse. The group backed up only for another explosion to knock them to the ground. Jiro was the first to stand and as she coughed, she spotted someone fleeing from the warehouse through the dust. Someone she recognised.

"Goku?" she muttered only to look on in fear as something followed after him. She turned to the rest of the group and without a word ran after her best friend and his pursuer.

"I swear Goku. I won't fail you this time."

Author's Note

Here we go. The final confrontation between Goku and Cell is about to commence. Jiro's going to aid her best friend and get him home safely.

Also I wanted to fully introduce that new form for a while now. There's a proper glimpse here but it won't debut properly (and I mean properly) until Season 4. You already know what the form is and now you sort of know how it is activated here. It's my favourite form so expect it to get some extra special treatment.

Get ready.
