"Tell me everything about All for One, Lady Nagant!"

"Oh, you think you have won?"

Nagant simply twisted herself around until her elbow turned into a barrel of a gun and a blast hit Izuku right at his chest.

"Midoriya!" "Izuku!"

"The commission has taught me everything, you know."

*Boom!*

Her elbow that was already fully turned into her signature sniper rifle shoot him at point blank range. Luckily, Izuku was smart enough to avoid the trajectory of her bullet before she made a hole on his stomach.

"Then why work for All for One!?" Floating in the air, Izuku shouted, "You know he's plotting to take over everything, right!?"

The disappearing Nagant scoffed before her voice followed from everywhere, "At the very least, the world he was planning to create was a lot more transparent."

"Transparent!?" Bullet whistled behind his back, grazing his back it ended in a wall of a building.

"I was exhausted..."

Another bullet grazed his body.

"...after so much killing."

"K-killing...?"

The adults immediately knew where this is going and the only thing they could is to grimace as the innocent mind of the young children being faced to the truth of this world.

Izuku's frantically twisting and spinning in the air, trying to avoid the dangerous barrage that came from every direction. Even so, his attention was completely focused on Nagant's voice.

"And it was all to preserve our sham society."

"Say there was a group plotting an act of terrorism against heroes, or a hero team colluding with gang of villains while gaining fame and fortune. When you have people like that, people capable of shaking the bedrock of our hero-society... Law and order won't cut it. They have to disappear along their crimes."

"And it was my job to get rid of them."

"D-disappear...? W-what does that mean...?" The weak willed Mineta muttered, frantically looking at the heroes with fear and confusion in his eyes.

The other students that shared the same question looked at them in hope, but the heroes could only grimace or avert their eyes guiltily from them.

Meanwhile, the little Eri may not knew what exactly they're talking about.

But the pain in Nagant's voice... She could hear it...

"Trust in heroes were the very foundation of this superpowered society. Without both hero and villain, this system would crumble. And I was the cog set in place to keep that system running smoothly."

Image of dead bodies laying on a pool of blood appeared in the screen. The horrible viewings continued with her kills' montage, showing how her target die one by one.

"AHHHH!"

Chaos erupted in the room as the weak-willed students and most of the girls screamed in horror. Several others began to puke out in magically appearing buckets, disgusted by the gruesome sight they have seen.

Not even those with strong personality were immune to the nausea as they could see how blood, brain or unrecognizable organ burst out of their body as Nagant's bullets pierced through their bodies.

"Eri/Kota don't look!" Mirio and Mandalay practically jumped from their seat to cover the children's eyes.

However, compared to the others who were heavily affected by the viewing, Eri's attention are entirely focused at Nagant at the corner of the room. She looked so hurt right now, even more than before...

Clasping her hands together, she hoped that Deku-san would be able to save the lady too just like how he saved her.

Lady Nagant's blood drenched figure was then being shown looking down in false apathy and exhaustion at the bloodshed she has caused.

"So for the sake of preserving peace, I complied. I obeyed and did my duty."

The terrifying flashback then changed to a more peaceful one, showing Lady Nagant under the broad daylight and in some random street. A group of children were following happily behind her, cheering for her and wanting to shake her hand.

"Lady! Can we shake your hand!" They shouted, face showing pure cheerfulness and eyes wide with awe at her.

A quite strained face adorned her face, "For you guys? Sure, as a special treat..."

However, as soon as Nagant tried to reach their waiting hand, she suddenly saw how her hand drenched and coated with dark blood.

Nagant quickly pulled her hand away in shock while her vacant eyes shook in fear.

The heroes never thought they could feels even worse than now, but seeing just how much burden they gave to people like Lady Nagant just destroys their mind and fill it with doubts or guilt.

But Endeavour and Mirko took it the most hardest than them. They're the type of heroes who just did what they want and only beat villains up, believing that whatever they did was the right thing to do. Sure, Mirko wasn't as worse as Endeavour, but it didn't change the fact that her hotheadedness may have caused a lot of trouble to other people.

What if their life was filled with suffering? What if they lived a horrible life? She would ruin it even further...

Gah! This is why she hated thinking about something too deeply...

"A system so fragile it made my head spin... I am tired."

"This superpowered society is a gilded daydream seen through rose-colored glasses. The public stargaze at the bright and shiny side. While the dark truth gnaws away at someone else."

She chuckled, "At least a future ruled over by All for One will be a helluva lot more transparent!"

Boom echoed throughout the city as Nagant shoots another bullet but with an extra anger. Luckily, the bullet missed by a small margine, but after dodging so much bullets from her, determined look painted Izuku's face again.

'Over there!' Tendril of blackwhip came out of his hand and shoots pass Nagant, hitting the building behind her, 'The Fifth, Pinpoint Focus!'

The ex-commission operative have no time to react at his incredible shot as the boy air dashed forward toward her in high speed.

'This kid... He analyzed my moves based on my shot's trajectories!' Seeing how Izuku began to closing in, Nagant's mind rushed to form an idea, 'And he's scarily fast!'

"Maybe I was ignorant, naive and too foolish... But I'm starting to see it more clearly now. This world is not all black and white! Not just about heroes and villains! I am aware of it! Things are in shades of grey! A blend of fear, anger, pain and life!"

"That's why I don't want to be the number one hero anymore!"

"Huh?"

"Did my ears fooled me?"

But among them all, the most confused one was Toshinori and Inko. As far as they knew, Izuku Midoriya had always want to be a hero even without a quirk to help him.

And soon, their eyes widened as they noticed it.

He just want to be a hero...

"What I want is to extend a helping hand and to save everyone!" Gentle but serious look adorned his face as their eyes met, "And I will start by saving you!"

"W-woah..."

"S-so manly..."

Most of the casts were rendered speechless at what he just says. It was so absurd, so inspiring, so emotional, so... they are not even sure what to call it anymore.

Both Nagant in screen and the theatre feels their hearts skipped a beat before anger erupted from depth of their heart. This boy had been hitting some sensitive spot in her heart, mostly the unpleasant ones. He reminded her to her younger days, always full of trust and optimism.

"What do you know about me...?" Yet, despite the way her blood boiled, her voice was so weak and croaked.

"Fine..."

She turned her rifle... Toward a figure of a screaming man. And it was Kai Chisaki the former leader of Shie Hassaikai.

"Then what about this!"

"Chisaki!?"

Eri trembled in fear at the mention of her adoptive father. The trauma that man has instilled in her was deep and leave a visible mark on her heart. No matter from where you look at it, he was a very horrible person, even in villain's standard.

Nagant knew what kind of person Chisaki was, and even she got disgusted to the core by his action. No doubt the heroes were even more so than her. Then would he still saves him? Would he even care to sacrifice everything just to save him? Would he do so?

Would he do the same for her?

Izuku quickly switched his trajectory from going over her direction toward where Chisaki located as Nagant's rifle grew bigger and longer.

'This puts me at a risk of jamming, but gotta pump up all those velocity!' With intense and angry frown, she shoots the large bullet, 'I will take you dow-!'

However, as soon as Nagant noticed something was amiss, the boy has zapped away and almost disappeared from her sight. He used the black tendril as some kind of a sling as his signature midair dash kicking in.

'Fa Jin. Repeated movement would build up motion-based energy that can be stored and released later. While getting shot at, I flexed and extended my leg to protect myself store up that energy. With One for All 45% and centrifugal force...

I could reach the speeding bullet vefore it left a mess.'

In an instance, Izuku appeared beside the mentally unstable man and shoving him away from the trajectory of the bullet.

Unfortunately for Izuku, he didn't came out completely unscathed. The bullet may not hit Chisaki thanks to Izuku's tremendous effort, but the bullet managed to glance his face from his nose up to his right eyes.

"Ahhh!"

Scream, gasp and hiss instinctively came out of the casts. No wonder he got that nasty scar, that must be really hurt and horrible.

'I-Impossible! He caught up to my shot! No, it's wilder than that... He was already shifting his trajectory when I was aiming my rifle...'

"We'll talk later, Chisaki!"

Despite bleeding wound on his face, Izuku didn't pause for a moment and continued to take his next course of action. Another tendril of blaxkwhip was being shot toward the other side as Izuku prepared to sling himself toward Nagant's position.

"Izuku..."

All eyes watched with bated breath as the final showdown would happen soon. They're worried and scared to the core, but hope sparked by Izuku's speech was still there in their heart.

Some began to clasp their hands and pray for his safety...

'Gotta move!' 'I still got one leg's worth of Fa Jin left!'

And with a boom, Izuku break through sound barrier once again and destroyed Nagant's rifle in a single hit.

"It's over, Lady Nagant! Please, stop! I don't want to fight you anymore!"

Meanwhile, Nagant was deep in her thought as she processed what just happened. Dark cloud casted over her vacant eyes as her face blank without emotion.

'No hesitation... Even if he highly likely have a deep grudge with him... He still leapt into action and sacrifices himself like it was the most natural thing to do...'

She began to fall, turning the support gear off while she let the gravity do its job, exhaution overtook her mind and body.

'When... Did the platitudes makes me wanna puke? When was the last time I didn't took someone's life? When was the last time I saved someone's life...?'

However, before she could sunk even further in her own darkness, a hand reaches for her and grasped her bloodied hand.

Life returned back to her eyes.

"I may not be able to build the perfect utopia utopia."

She looked up.

"I may not even be able to become a proper hero."

Gazes looking so intently at each other.

"But I don't want to see anyone suffers again! Not you! Not Shigaraki! Not the innocents! Not any of us!"

"I know I am a foolish, naive and stupid boy! That's why I need your help! You're not the monster you always believed yourself to be! You could easily incapacitate me at the beginning, but you didn't! You still have that soul of a hero!"

"So please let me save you and help us to sort this mess together!"

A low, derisive snort came out of Nagant's mouth. But it wasn't directed toward the green haired boy. She was laughing at herself.

"What a guy... Izuku Midoriya."

A small amused smilw adorned her face as she fought back the sting on her eyes.

"You're the real dea-"

*Swoosh

A fast moving rocket suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, heading towards Nagant dangling position. Izuku instantly leapt into action, but the rocket was faster than him and impacted with Nagant's body first before he could shield her.

*Boom!*

Gasps once again filled the room as the seemingly victorious situation being flipped into a disaster of mess. Some were even sobbed at the very sad gate of Lady Nagant.

Meanwhile, Nagant herself froze in her seat with wide eyes. She then heaved a sigh, looking down with the same vacant eyes.

'I guess I deserve to end like that...'

But a tug pulled her attention from her cynical thought.

It was the little girl with pale blue hair. Holding her hand tightly.

"Deku-san will save you!"

Her heart skipped a beat, but his voice calling for her name cause dher to look at the screen again.

"Nagant!"

Her body plummeted down unto the ground, but Deku was fast enough to catch her by pushing himself to shoots a blackwhip at her. He tried his best to float smoothly as they descended down, using every ounce energy he still have in him.

"Hold on! Stay with me, Kaina-san!"

Her body was practically charred and burnt it would actually be impossible for he rto be alive. But Izuku kept holding to the hope that she was still alive, desperately believing that she wasn't dead.

Because he would broke if he failed to save her. He would broke down and finally crumble.

She was his last straw of hope.

Nagant felt pain cut straight into her bone while thousand slice cut her heart. The way he croaked out her name hurt her so much.

"Wake up, you idiot!"

She stood from her seat, shouting loudly and calling for her other self in hope that she would wake up. She don't want to destroy a life anymore. She want to save people just as much as him.

The others were pretty surprised at the woman who stayed silent throughout the whole viewing, but then most of them began to follow behind her and yelled at the top of their lungs.

"Wake up!"

"Don't give up!"

"FOR HIS SAKE!"

Nagant's eyes cracked open slightly, watching Izuku's despair stricken and desperate face looking at her so intently, so full of hope. She watched how joy filled his lone eye.

She faintly felt herself being catches by him, being held as he began to move again, face strained as he pants and force himself toward whatever place he was heading.

"W-why..." She croaked, "You... know t-that this... road y... You take will kill you... T-this world will kill you... So w-why...?"

"Stop talking, please." He whispered, "Save your breath, I won't give up on you no matter whatever hell I need to get through to do so."

The blood dripping from his face sizzled as it fell unto her skin. His hands must feels really hurt, huh? She remembers that her first shot shredded his palms...

"And I won't give up, even if this road was shrouded in darkness and only lead to chaos... So, please, lend me your hand! I promise I will do my best!"

Nagant could only chuckled weakly before she let her exhaution overtook her in his warm embrace. This... Feels quite nice...

She could faintly heard "Medic!" somewhere along the way but the darkness has filled her consciousness.

The last thing she saw is Izuku's worried expression on his heavily wounded face. She hoped she could pay him back for the things he had done for her...

'Never would I thought I wanted to become a hero again...'

The tnesion in the room finally dissipated as everyone slump onto their seat, panting for breath after getting so quirked by the dramatic scene.

Nagant heaved out a sigh as she rubbed her face. Gah! Why did she so worked up by all of this! It was a bit embarrassing now when she think about it...

Another tug pulled her out of her thought. And as she looked down, the little girl was still there on her side, holding her hand as tightly as possible with her tiny little hands.

"Deku-san saved you, right!?" Joyful smile bloomed on her face.

Nagant averted her eyes away at the blinding light the girl exuded. Yeah, he saved her... Geh, getting emotional is not her subject, but she must admit, the whole shows left a little warmth in her heart.

Her eyes reddened a bit...

The scene changed, showing the still wounded Izuku standing in front of the hunched form of Kai Chisaki.

"Chisaki..."

"This is not how the deal would went... No, no, no, no, no!"

"Do you remember everything you did to Eri?"

"Ah, of course... With Eri I could-"

"If you're willing to direct that same energy toward Eri, I am willing to honor your deal in Lady Nagant's place."

Chisaki seemingly froze as Izuku's words began to sink in. Mo matter from what angle he may look at it, Izuku hated his gut for what he did to Eri.

But he knews that the yakuza was just a victim just like everyone. Victim of this world, of himself. The least thing he could do is to fulfill his wish to meet his boss.

Suddenly, a screen hidden behind Chisaki's back turned on, gaining Izuku's attention.

It was Shigaraki.

He froze.

"T-that's Shigaraki?"

He looked just as broken as Izuku, skin pale and cracked while eyes looked at him in bloodshot.

The sight absolutely terrified the students and children while the the adults felt a shiver crept up to their spine. The manic smile on his face didn't help to ease the situation in the slightest.

"Lobg time no see, Midoriya."

"...Shigara- ...Tenko"

"Call me that name a again, and I will kill everyone you knew." Shigaraki answered, looking unimpressed at Izuku's remark, "Did you enjoy your time with that killer hero?"

Izuku remained silent, his face void of any emotion. However, his aloof look couldn't hide the sadness in his gaze from their eyes.

"I am sure you do, hero. Congratulations, you have saved one person, I want to see how you try to save me..."

Shigarake may siunds much more stable than the one they knew, but they vould still hear the hatred and anger in his voice.

"Long time ago, I hated All Might with all of my being. But now, he was just a weak shell of his former bullshit of greatness. But you see, I need to pass this hatred for heroes to something or someone, Midoriya."

"And since I have the All for One now..." Izuku's eye widened for a fragment of second.

Fear gripped Toshinori's heart as he processed what he just heard. He wasn't the only one, Gran Torino was currently shaking in anger and frustration.

Does all that sacrifices... Meant nothing now?

"Why don't we keep the tradition, Modoriya." Shigaraki pointed his finger with a wicked smile, "It's your turn."

Izuku instantly whipped out his blackwhip and pulled away Chisaki before the blinding light and loud boom came out of the screen.

"I-Izuku!" For the thousand times, Inko shouted in fear again, "W-what happened to him!?"

No one knew the answer, and no one dares to guess it. In the end, she cried into Toshinori's chest as the man held her in his embrace. Fear and worry painted his face.

The scene changed, showing the same night sky but with a pretty different surroundings. It was still in the middle of a city, but the place was in a rundown and ruin of a building.

It showed Izuku from the beginning, with the wound becoming scar on his face while his costumes are absolutely butchered. It seems like he was just waking up a few moment ago.

He tentatively touched the scar, "I should visit Kaina-san after this..."

The boy then disappeared into the night.

The scene changed again, showing a tall woman with an obvious mutant quirk being attacked by a bunch of armed civilians.

"Please stop! You've got it all wrong! I haven't done anything wrong! Please leave me alone!" She shouted, trying to protect hersefl fom the barrage of support item's projectiles.

"Yeah, right! You're trying to get us drop our guard and then you'll strike!" A man charging his support item shouted at her while fear and anxiety painted his face before he shoots at her.

"Nooo!"

A blur suddenly appeared, blocking the ball of water from hitting the woman before it slide in front of them.

"Please, calm down." The figure revealed itself to be Izuku in his mask, his lone eye looking at them calmly and neutrally. "I know that everyone is on the edge, but this woman isn't much a threat against armed people like you."

Offended look flashed on the faces of the attackers before they ran away, "T-then it was her fault to wander around while looking like that."

Not even Izuku's speech could stop the casts from wanting to hit those kind of a people. Humanity is just too rotten, and the students were being reminded again just how pathetic a human can be.

After watching the group disappeared, Izuku turned his attention toward the lost woman. She was crying and hugging her body in fear and cold.

"Would you like me to escort you, miss?" Izuku floated up, shielding her from the pouring rain with an umbrella.

"Ah, y-yes... Thank you..." She paused, taking the umbrella from his hand before hesitantly looking at him, "I am sorry to bother you, mister."

"Nah, don't worry." He hiked his mask up just enough to show his tired smile, "It was a nice change of pace, to be honest."

Silence ensued again before the woman gathered the courage to talk to him, "A-are you a hero?"

There was a pause, "I can't say I am. I am just your friendly neighbor wanting to change everything for the better." He gave her his hand, "Would you mind to get carried by me? Your clothes is already soaked and it was better for us to reach the shelter faster."

"R-really? I-I am sorry to bother you again..."

Gasp escaped her lips as Izuku lifted her in bridal carry, "No need, I would be happy if uou reach the place safely. Now hold tight!"

And with that, the rollercoaster of an episode ended with a nice and peaceful moment.
