Chapter 11: Joint Effort
"After all this time, it looks like the heroic piece of trash has appeared." Shigaraki stated to the villains that were still conscious. The Nomu turned his attention away from the students whose heads he was about ready to crush to several, squishy pieces. It almost seemed like he was excited to see the Symbol of Peace.
"Looks like it's pay day b-" One of villains tried to say, but they were cut off as All Might was able to dash to their location in the matter of seconds. He moved so fast, that the villains weren't able to see what exactly was able to knock them out. With the villains knocked out, All Might was able to pick up the battered body of Aizawa.
"I'm sorry Aizawa. I should have been here sooner." All Might muttered to his injured colleague. The hero then turned around to see some of his students and they danger they were in. In the span of a second, All Might dashed and grabbed all of his students. The act caused the hand mask to slip off of Shigaraki's face. Once they were out of danger, Sento had a very important question to ask.
"How did you know we were in danger?" The young masked hero asked his Heroics teacher.
"I got suspicious when I hadn't heard anything from Aizawa or Thirteen, so I rushed over here to check things out. I then ran into Young Iida on the way over here, and he explained the entire situation to me. I'm sorry that I wasn't here sooner to protect all of you." All Might explained to his students. "Now then, get Aizawa and yourselves to the entrance! He doesn't have much time!"
"Right!" Sento nodded as he wrapped one of Aizawa's arms around his shoulder, and with the help of Tsuyu, they began to carry their homeroom teacher towards the entrance of the building. "Midoriya! Come on!" He called out to his classmate.
"All Might," Izuku began to warn, "be careful. I performed an attack on that creature, and it did nothing."
"Don't worry Young Midoriya." All Might reassured his pupil as he gave the boy a peace sign. "I have this under control! Now go!" Izuku nodded as he ran off to join his classmates
"What are you waiting for Shigaraki? Command the Nomu to attack him!" Night Rogue frantically yelled to his companion. However, his command went unheard as Shigaraki focused on the hand that was laying on the ground. He then slowly picked it up, taking very close care not to grab it with all five of his fingers.
"I'm sorry father." Shigaraki whispered as he slowly put the hand back on his face. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to defend myself, but of course a government hero like him would rely on violence. He was too fast to see…but not as fast as he was in the past!" Shigaraki commented, which caught both Night Rogue and All Might off guard.
Not taking any chances, All Might rushed towards the pale man. "Carolina…"
"Nomu." Shigaraki calmly called out to the creature.
"SMASH!" All Might yelled as his attack was intercepted by the creature. When the dust settled, All Might was shocked to see his student was telling the truth, as the Nomu remained unfazed. The Nomu tried to grab All Might, but All Might quickly ducked under his attack. "Guess he wasn't wrong when he said it didn't faze you!" All Might said as he punched the creature straight in the chest, but once again it wasn't fazed by the punch. "How about this?" All Might shouted as he proceeded to punch the creature in the face. But once again, the creature remained unfazed by the attacks and try to once again attack him.
"So, why don't you try to make the Symbol of Peace see his worse nightmare?" Shigaraki asked his comrade.
"You don't think I've been trying?" Night Rouge shouted back. "His will…It's overriding Terror Stare! I can't make him petrified!"
"So much for that." Shigaraki heavily sighed, before going to taunt the Symbol of Peace. "Sorry All Might. Nomu here has Shock Absorption for his Quirk, so the only way to truly beat him is to tear through his skin, which I know for a fact you wouldn't do! So, it looks like you finally found your match!"
All Might smirked as he heard what the villain had just said. "Thanks for telling me how to beat him!" He then dashed behind the creature and grabbed on to it. "All I got to do is wear it down," All Might said as he began to suplex the beast, "Then it's onto you!" The Symbol of Peace exclaimed as he finished the attack, causing a huge shockwave to be produced.

"Yeah! That's what you get for messing with U.A.!" Sato yelled as he watched the fight unfold from near the entrance. The rest of the group he was watching the fight along side with him. That was until Ochaco noticed something.
"Deku!" She called out as she noticed him and a bunch of different students carrying a damaged Aizawa. This caused the group she was with gasped in shock.
"Holy shit!" Sero yelled. "What the hell happened to him?"
"That big scary monster. That's what happened." Tsuyu calmly exclaimed as she carefully helped Aizawa down on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Ochaco asked as she made her way over to Izuku.
"Oh! I-I'm f-fine!" He managed to stammer out, while trying to ignore the blush that was very quickly creeping up his face. "I-I'm h-heading back."
"WHAT?!" Mineta screamed. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! YOU WANT TO GO BACK?! ALL MIGHT IS THE STRONGEST HERO AROUND! HE'S GOT THIS! LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE AND LET HIM TAKE CARE OF IT!"
Izuku looked to battlefield. "That creature was designed to kill All Might. If that's true, then how long would he be able to hold out for? He needs all the help he can get."
Sento then took a step forward. "You're not going-"
"You can't convince to stay. I'm going no matter what you say." Izuku bluntly stated.
"…I was about to say you're not going alone." Sento stated. Izuku turned around in shock.
"What?" The greenette asked.
"You're right. All Might isn't going to be able to hold out any longer without any help. Besides, if we don't throw ourselves into danger to save our Heroics teacher, then how can we call ourselves heroes?" Sento quickly explained.
"We better hurry then if want to get to the plaza." Izuku stated to his Class Rep.
Sento let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry, I got a way we can get there in time." He stated as began to shake an orange fullbottle and a gray fullbottle.
TAKA! GATLING!
BEST MATCH!
Sento once again turned the lever to his device.
ARE YOU READY?
"Build up!" Sento exclaimed as runners closed around him.
THE SKY RUFFIAN!
HAWKGATLING!
YEAHHH!
The wings on Sentos' back expanded to show just how impressive the wingspan is able to achieve. The parts that were an azure color was now orange, with parts on the shoulder resembling feathers. The parts that were lime green were now a dull gray color, with his left forearm covered in heavy armor. The visors were replaced by an orange wing of a hawk and a gray Gatling gun.
"…How many of those forms do you have?" Tsuyu questioned, with a quizzical finger on her chin.
"Not really what's important right now." Sento bluntly stated. He then walked over to Izuku. "You've ever fly before?"
"On an airplane, why do you ask?" Izuku nervously asked.
"Because we're going to fly." Sento stated as he got into position.
"Deku…" Ochaco said, drawing both Izuku and Sentos' attention. "Be careful." She stated. Both male students nodded in determination. Izuku had found some new confidence…that was until a question suddenly popped into Izukus' head.
"D-Do you know how to fly?" He asked his Class Representative.
"Nope! This is going be my first time!" Sento excitedly stated, much to the horror of Izuku.
"Wait! I change my miAAAAAAAHHH!" Izuku screamed as the two took off flying to go save their teacher, leaving their classmates in the dust.
"…How much do you want to bet that they're going to die?" Mineta asked his classmates. The only response he got was Tsuyu smacking him in the back of his head.
(X)
"Oh come on…What kind of cheap trick was that?" All Might exclaimed as he realized the position that the villains had put him in. Kurogiri had opened up a warp gate underneath the Symbol of Peace just as he was about to complete the suplex. The Nomus' upper body was saved as a result…and the creature was now digging its' claws into his weak spot.
"Good job Kurogiri. We got him just where we want him now." Shigaraki complimented the dark mass. All of a sudden, the portals started to close.
"Normally, I would be against having blood and viscera in my portals." Kurogiri protested. "However, I can make an exception to that rule." The Nomu lifted All Might into the air, claws digging deeper into the hero's weak point. All Might tried to get out of the creatures' grip.
"Still have some fight left in you?" Night Rogue asked, who suddenly had new self-assurance seeing the Symbol of Peace trapped. "Well you won't for much longer." Night Rogue then snapped his fingers and a Smash looking like a combination between a bird and a scarecrow came flying out of nowhere. It then was about to swan dive its' target.
TWENTY!
A whole swarm of bullets hit the Smash, knocking it off its' course. The villains looked in shock at the arrival of Sento and Izuku. Landing on the ground, Sento remained calm, steady, and holding his HawkGatlinger like a marksman, while Izuku on the other hand was doubled over, heavily panting.
"Oh…Oh God…Oh…I'm never doing that again…" Izuku muttered, which drew attention from Sento.
"Come on. I thought I did alright for my first time flying." Sento said rather dejectedly.
"I thought you two went running for the hills?" Shigaraki asked the two boys, who prepared themselves for a fight.
"Sorry to disappoint, but we're heroes in training. If we let our Heroics teacher die during a villain attack, I'm pretty sure we'll flunk our class." Sento retorted back.
"Heh, smartass." Shigaraki commented. He was about to step forward, when he was suddenly stopped by Night Rogue.
"You take the green haired boy; I'll handle the other one." The bat themed villain harshly stated. He then took a step forward, the Flying Smash joining his side. "How about we take this to the skies?" All of a sudden, two gigantic bat wings sprouted from his back, and he took off into the air above. Sento and the Smash were quick to follow him. Izuku tried to sprint to try to reach his mentor, but Kurogiri was quick to try to intercept him.
"You foolish child." The mass said as he opened up a warp gate in front of Izuku. Izuku didn't have enough time to react…that was until something quickly attacked Kurogiri with a small explosion.
"OUT OF MY WAY, DEKU!" Bakugo shouted as he grabbed Kurogiri by the metal neck brace and pinning him to the ground. A small stream of ice quickly made its' way up the left leg of the Nomu, until it stopped at the wrist of the Nomu.
"One of your underpaid lowlifes told me that you're here because you're dumb enough to believe that you can kill All Might." Todoroki explained. All Might noticed how Todoroki stopped his ice just before it reached his body. He then wrestled his way out of the Nomus' grip and put enough distance between the villains and himself. He grasped at his side in pain.
"Are you kidding me right now?" Shigaraki questioned, seeing the plan turn to chaos in front of him. All of a sudden, Kirishima and Banjo leaped towards, letting out battle cries as they were about to attack him. Shigaraki quickly jumped out of the way.
"Seriously, that would have been awesome." Kirishima groaned as he realized their surprise attack failed.
"I know! It would have been a badass double team takedown!" Banjo also made his annoyance very well known.
"What took you so long?" Sento questioned as he flew past the two, Night Rogue quickly following. The two students ducking to avoid collision with the bat themed scoundrel.
"Watch where you're flying!" Banjo shouted to the two. "ALSO, WHEN DID YOU GET WINGS?! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR WINGS!"
"You scoundrels won't kill the Symbol of Peace today." Todoroki bluntly said. Izuku looked around shocked at the fact that his classmates were here to help him out, it was enough to make him tear up. But he quickly wiped away those tears. This wasn't the place to cry.
"Move, and I'll blow you up so bad that they'll be gluing your pieces back together for weeks." Bakugo threated the dark mass that he had underneath his palm.
"That's…not very heroic. That's borderline psychotic." Banjo quickly retorted.
Shigaraki began to scratch furiously at his neck. "Kurogiri…You seriously let yourself get captured by a mere child? You're more useless than I thought!" Shigaraki quickly reprimanded his comrade. "…Guess I can't rely on you for anything. Kids these days are really something else, their able to make the League of Villains seem like a bunch of amateurs. Nomu…" The creature then looked at its master. "Recover." Hearing that the Nomu began to exit out of the portal, but the limbs that were frozen broke off.
"How is that thing still moving?" Izuku questioned as the Nomu hobbled onto its still functional leg. The ice broke off its body and its muscle began to reform into limbs.
"Oh god. I'm gonna throw up." Banjo said as he felt his stomach become a little queasy.
"What is this? I thought you said Shock Absorption was its Quirk?" All Might frantically questioned the villain. Shigaraki just chuckled.
"I didn't say that was his only Quirk. He also has Super Regeneration. He was genetically designed to take you on at 100% of your power. The best way I could describe Nomu here is that he's like a punching bag that punches you back." All Might scowled at what he just heard. In all of his years of fighting, this one of his toughest fight. Not as tough as him, but it was up there. "Nomu. Would you be so kind to get our escape route back?" The Nomu then charged at Bakugo at such a speed that it made it impossible to see. A huge cloud of dust emerged where Bakugo was.
"KACCHAN!" Izuku screamed out in fear that his childhood friend was dead.
"Stop screaming, I'm right here dumbass." Bakugo suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah, call your friend a dumbass right after he thinks you just died. Totally hero-like." Banjo responded towards the blond-haired boy.
"OH, WILL YOU JUST-" Bakugo was about to yell at the dragon themed boy, but their attention was drawn to what exactly pushed Bakugo out of the way of the Nomus' attack. The dust settled and they saw All Might was the one who blocked the punch. He heavily panted as he felt anger rise up within him.
"These are children…And you didn't hold back!" All Might angrily yelled at the villains. Shigaraki just chuckled in response.
"It's not like I had any other choice, they threatened to kill my comrade. Plus they aren't any angels either. The plain looking one, he almost killed me with a full charged punch! Now tell me, what kind of hero does such a thing? You heroes claim to be on the side of justice, yet, you always revel in the violence that you create! You're able to get away with it, because all of the sheep that praise you are told what is good and what is bad! And when they decide what they classify as 'bad' get tossed aside like a broken-down toy! You're not heroes at all! You're just government sponsored playground bullies!"
The students stayed silent as they heard what they were hearing. It casts a pretty heavy shadow on what they did today, but at the same time, they didn't have any other choice. They had been threatened with the quite real possibility that they could have been killed. Those worries were squashed by All Might.
"You think I haven't heard those words before? You villains act like you have some sort of higher purpose in your actions, but yet, you threatened to kill children that have done nothing to you whatsoever! They are innocent in this battle, and you were willing to kill them just to get to me. Admit it, you're doing this because you like it! Isn't that right?"
"…Screw it. I can't keep up the act." Shigaraki stated as he grinned in a sinister way.
"We have them out numbered. We can take them." Todoroki stated as the students got ready to fight.
"Plus my boy found that smoke guys' weakness! And we got All Might on our side, I get the feeling we can't lose!" Banjo exclaimed to his classmates.
"No." All Might suddenly stated as he took a couple of steps forward. "Get out of here! And work a true hero in action."
"But All Might, you're hurt! And you're running out of t-" Izuku quickly cut himself off before he let certain details slip. However, All Might quickly reassured his pupil as he slipped him a small thumbs up, before charging in to face the Nomu once again.
(X)
In the skies above, Sento quickly dove underneath one of Night Rogues' flying strikes. The Flying Smash slammed into him, causing him to start plummeting to the ground. He caught himself at the last couple of seconds and he got back into the fight.
"You really are resilient." Night Rogue complemented the young hero, which kind of threw him off balance for a second.
"Thanks. Now, can I ask you something?" Sento said as he once dodged another strike from the Flying Smash. "My memories are pretty fragmented, but from I always seemed to remember you. And the vibe I always got from you is that you and your weird science club wouldn't really play well with others. So what's the deal? Why the sudden change?"
"Our goals just so happened to align with one another, so it just made sense." Night Rogue said. But Sento was able to tell something was off with that explanation.
"…Are you sure this has nothing to do with Pandora's Box?" Sento asked. Night Rogue seemed to pause as soon as Sento said those two words. Seeing a chance, Sento started flying as fast as he could to charge the bat villain, whose eyes suddenly had a tint of teal to them. That was when he started to get flashes of him in the tank, Night Rogue mocking him, and the feeling of hopelessness. But then something happened.
He saw flashes of the most important people in his life, and with each flash, the nightmare started to shatter like a piece of glass. Kirishima, Mina, Tenya, Ochaco, Sawa, Owner, Misora, Izuku, Banjo, and…Momo. With a mighty roar, Sento swung his leg breaking the illusion and kicking Night Rogue in the face.
Sento then flew overheard and kicked the villain towards the ground. The scoundrel plummeted towards the ground, the Flying Smash heading straight towards its master to try to catch him. Sento saw an opportunity for a finisher and he began to spin the HawkGatlingers' bullet chamber.
TEN!
TWENTY!
THIRTY!
FORTY!
FIFTY!
SIXTY!
SEVENTY!
EIGHTY!
NINETY!
ONE HUNDRED!
FULL BULLET!
The two adversaries were stopped mid-air as they were captured in a white energy spherical graph. The Smash tried to break out, but it was unsuccessful. Sento aimed his weapon right towards the enemies and fired. A hundred bullets fired out, they proceeded to turn into little energy hawks, every time one of them hit their intended targets, a miniature explosion went off. When the final energy hawk hit, the sphere imploded on the inside, sending the two knocked out adversaries flying towards the ground.
Carefully landing, Sento pulled out an empty fullbottle, and sucked out the energy of the Flying Smash, causing it to turn back to human. "Alright, time to get some ans-" Sento said as he looked to where Night Rogue had landed and was less than shocked to see the bat villain was gone. He let out a heavy sigh. "…Of course. Disappear without a trace, that's fine by me." Sento remarked to no one.
He then took off to join in the fight with All Might. As soon as he got into the air, huge shockwaves rippled out throughout the entire U.S.J., causing him to be knocked back near the fountain. He bounced off the ground a couple of times, before he finally came to a dead stop and getting knocked out of his transformation. "My head…My ribs…My…everything…" Sento managed to mumble out. "I'm just going to lay here for a minute. He's got it under control." Sento said to no one in particular, as he proceeded to continue laying on the ground.
(X)
"You clearly weren't listening! One of his power is Shock Absorption!" Shigaraki stated as he landed on the ground. The two titans collided fists, which as a result caused a huge shockwave to ring out across the entire U.S.J.
"So? What about it?" All Might exclaimed as he and the beast once again collided their fist. Then, in the span of a second, the two started to trade blows at an incredible speed. The students held their best to try to keep their footing, but it was hard to do, considering the huge feedback that the blows were dealing.
"HE'S SERIOUSLY GOING TO FIGHT THAT BRAIN GUY?" Izuku shouted.
"Holy shit! Their fast!" Banjo said, clearly amazed by the fight that was going on in front of him.
As the two kept trading blows, All Might had a question burning inside of him. "He said your Quirk was Shock Absorption, not Nullification, am I right?" He received no response from the monster. "That must mean there's a limit to how much you can take!" As All Might continue to keep punching the creature, Shigaraki noticed that Nomu was starting to lose his footing. The Nomu punched him in his weak point, but All Might didn't care as he just kept laying on the punishment.
"You were made to beat me when I'm at 100%, so that just means I have to break through those limits! And force you to surrender!" All Might yelled as the creature continued to lose his footing. Izukus' eyes slowly began to widen as he realized what his mentor was doing.
'Every strike isn't random.' He thought to himself. 'Each one of those is planned! And his punches are more than 100% of his power!' Eventually, the Nomu lost whatever hold it had to the ground as it was sent flying. All Might quickly followed after it.
"A real hero…" All Might began to say as the creature got back up and proceeded to collide with him in mid-air. "Will always find a way for justice to be served!" The Symbol of Peace said as he got the better of the creature, causing it to skate across the ground. All Might quickly moved to where the creature was heading and proceeded to jump up in the air with him holding the creatures' arm. He then tossed the creature straight into the ground, leaving a huge crater where the creature had impacted.
All Might swiftly landed on the ground as the creature bounced off the ground. "Here's a little lesson." He then proudly stood up. "You may have heard these words before, but I'll teach you what they truly mean!" He proceeded to ready his fist and fired up every last bit he had of One For All inside of him "THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO GO BEYOND!" All Might yelled as he reeled his fist back.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
The Symbol of Peace roared as his fist made contact with the creatures' torso. The fires of One For All burning its light through the dark skin of the Nomu. The Nomu then went flying with so much force that it burst through the dome of the U.S.J., the sheer speed of the creature breaking apart the clouds as it went soaring. The students were astonished by what they just witnessed.
"He just beat the Shock Absorption out of that thing! I've never seen brute strength like that!" Kirishima mused aloud.
"Imagine having power like that. He must have been beating the shit out of that thing so fast, that it couldn't regenerate." Bakugo begrudgingly said.
"Is…Is this what it's like to be speechless?" Banjo asked aloud to no one in particular. Their eyes were once again drawn to the Symbol of Peace.
"I really have gotten weaker!" All Might began to exclaim. "Back in my heyday, it would have taken just 5 punches to knock that guy out! But today, it took more than 300 mighty blows!" All Might could feel steam rising from his skin, that could only mean that time was almost up. He turned to face the villains. "If I were you, I would just give up right now! Surrender right now! We all want to get this over with as quickly as possible!"
"You cheated!" Shigaraki shouted as he began to shake violently. "You were supposed to be weaker! But you beat my Nomu with more strength to spare! YOU FUCKING CHEATED!" He exclaimed as he furiously scratched the base of his neck, this time drawing blood as he continued to scratch. All Might tried to get into a defensive stance, but he quickly realized that fighting the Nomu sapped of his strength. So much strength, that he wasn't even able to take a single step forward.
"Tomura," Kurogiri began to clarify to his comrade, "while Nomu wasn't successful in killing him, it didn't mean that he didn't leave some damage to the hero. Take a closer look." Shigaraki did what the mass said, and he chuckled by what he saw. The side of All Might was bleeding very profusely.
"You're right Kurogiri." Shigaraki exclaimed. "Looks like the Symbol of Peace isn't untouchable! Which means our mission is still on!" Hearing that, the students were about ready to rush to their teachers' side, but then they began to notice that the villains that were once knocked out slowly began to get up, once again ready for a fight. The students rushed to fight the villains, while Izuku focused on All Might.
Shigaraki were about to rush the Symbol of Peace, but Izuku was quick to use One For All on his legs to jump to save his mentor. Izuku felt his legs break, but he didn't care, he was too focused on saving his hero to focus on the pain. He was about to use a Smash attack on the dark mass' weak spot, but Kurogiri saw the attack coming as he opened up a portal for Shigaraki to stick his hand through.
"Gotcha." Shigaraki taunted as he was about to touch Izukus' face. All of a sudden, someone shot Shigaraki in the hand, causing the villain to reel back in pain.
"Are they…" All Might began to say as he looked to where the shot originated from. His suspicions were confirmed as Snipe fired off a couple more shots in directions where students needed help. "They're here!"
"Everyone have no fear!" Tenya shouted to his classmates, whose fears were alleviated as they saw him alongside most of the staff at U.A. "Because your Class Secretary has arrived with back up in toe!" Present Mic stepped up to stairs where some of the villains were gathering, and proceeded to let out a gigantic scream, causing the villains to cover their ears in pain. As soon as they let go of their ears, they saw the terrifying sight of Ectoplasm and his clones charging start towards them.
"Kurogiri! Get us out of –" Shigaraki tried to say, but he was quickly cut off as he was shot multiple times by Snipe. Before the Gun-Wielding Hero could get more shots off at the pale villain, Kurogiri blocked the shots with his mass, eventually he started to open a portal back to their hideout. The injured Thirteen began to suck away at the black mass, making it difficult for the villain to teleport away.
"You may have won today, but just know this!" Shigaraki yelled to All Might as he slowly sank into the dark void that was Kurogiri. "Your death will come soon enough! Me and my master will see your legacy die!" All Might raised an eyebrow at what the mention of a master. There's no way it could be him…could it? After a few seconds the villain that lead this attack were gone.
"Midoribro! You alright?" Kirishima yelled as he started to run over to him and All Might. His path to them was suddenly blocked by a huge cement wall spurting up out of the ground. "What the hell?" Kirishima asked.
"Sorry about that Young Kirishima." All Might shouted through the wall. "Cementoss didn't want you to see the critical condition that Young Midoriyas' legs are in. Rest assured, he'll get the proper treatment. Can you and classmates head back to the entrance, where we'll make sure you all are safe."
"Um…No problem All Might!" Kirishima yelled back as he made his way back to his group. "Guess Midoriya is in pretty bad shape after all." He lamented to the group.
"Shame the teachers are getting all the action. I would have love to crack some more heads together!" Bakugo disappointedly stated.
"You seriously got a weird thing for violence, don't ya?" Banjo questioned the Explosion User. "Personally, I've had enough fighting for today. How about you Sento?" He asked as he turned around to see…That his friend was nowhere to be seen. "Sento?" He called, to only receive no response. "Where's Sento?" Banjo asked his group.
"Who's knows? Maybe he's with the other extras." Bakugo responded. Banjo was strangely hoping that the blond was right as they continued on their way to the rest of their classmates.
(X)
"All Might!" Izuku yelled as he crawled towards his mentor. "Are you alright?"
Toshinori just let out a small chuckle as he helped the greenette up. "If had a 100 yen for every time I had somebody ask me that question." He then began to cough up a small bit of blood.
"GAH!" Izuku screeched out.
"It's okay. I'm fine." Toshinori reassured the now freaked out student.
"S-Sorry! I-I f-forgot you did that!" Izuku stammered out. All Might gave a hearty chuckle.
"Young Midoriya…" Toshinori began to say, drawing the attention of his pupil. "When I first told you about One For All, I must confess to you that I had a slight hesitation about giving it to you. But after seeing all the progress that you made, the amount of commitment that you have shown to becoming a hero, and your willingness to try to protect everyone, I now know that whatever doubts I had back them have been squashed."
Izuku began to slowly realize what his predecessor was beginning to say.
"I'm proud to have you as my successor." Toshinori said with a reassuring smile on his face. Hearing that praise coming from his hero, Izuku was on the verge of crying…
…That was until both he and All Might heard the sound of something drop to the ground. Both wielders of One For All turned to look at the source of the sound. Their blood ran cold as atop the stair case to the fountain, they stared at the bruised and battered visage of one Sento Kiryu.
Sento dropped his driver due to the pure shock of what he just heard. Eyes widened to the point of no return as he looked back and forth between Izuku and Toshinori, with a shocked look on his face. After a few seconds of pure, very awkward silence, Sento wasn't able to hold it anymore as he asked a very simple question.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Bet you didn't see that ending coming, huh? I don't really have anything for this section, so I guess it's onto the preview!
Next time on Hero of Love & Peace: The attack on the U.S.J. is finally over! The students have a moment to finally breath, but how will the League of Villains react to this defeat? And more importantly, how will Izuku and All Might deal with Sento discovering the shocking truth about One For All?
