All Might remembers from the past saying, "I must remember where I started."

A young All Might says, "I wanna make a world where everyone smiles and lives together happily. For that to happen, people need a symbol."

Nana asks, "A symbol?"

The young All Might says, "A Symbol of Peace. The reason crime is on the rise everywhere is because citizens have no one to believe in. They need to rely on someone. That's why I wanna be the pillar that gives people hope."

Nana says, "Huh. So that's what drives you to become a hero even though you're Quirkless."

All Might nod and says, "Yes."

Nana chuckles and says, "Toshinori Yagi. S'that right? Those are some pretty funny ideas ya got. You're kinda crazy."

Sirens are blaring and there is a lot of mayhem going on.

Shoto says into his phone walking with Momo in a crowd of people, "Midoriya. Are you four safe?"

Izuku says on the phone, "Yeah. How about you guys? No one saw you?"

Shoto says, "I don't think so. We're on the street, blending in with the crowd now. Some pros are here helping people evacuate."

Izuku says, "Good. We're stopped in front of the station. Luckily, we missed that last shockwave. Our rescue totally worked."

Bakugo says beside Eijiro, "A rescue?! That's not what happened back there. You idiots just happened to be my best escape route."

Eijiro smiles and gives Bakugo a thumbs up saying, "You're welcome!"

Bakugo says quieter, "I had to get out of there so All Might and Cara could destroy that guy."

Izuku nods slightly looking at Bakugo and mutters, "He's right. We would've been in the way. The smart thing to do was leave them to it. Gran Torino can help them out." Izuku looks up at the helicopters flying by and continues muttering to himself, "We made the right decision. Didn't we? This is what you would've wanted. Right, All Might?"

All Might still on top of All For One.

All For One says, "You have so much in common with Nana Shimura, the utter waste of a human who passed One For All on to you."

All Might remembers Nana saying, "Be proud, Toshinori. You went down a long, hard road to obtain this power. Of course it's gonna take a lot of work to master it."

All Might says, "My master was a true hero. Keep her name out of your filthy mouth."

I gasp only just realizing that All Might's predecessor was a woman. I see All Might steaming and know he's not going to last long at all.

All For One says, "A woman with no skill, and grand ideas she couldn't live up to. How embarrassing for me, the creator of One For All, to see her inherit the power. And the way she died was so pathetic. Shall I tell you all about it?"

All Might getting mad raises his other fist yelling, "Enough!" and punches All For One again who started using more of the red and black lightning thing which forced All Might to be blown into the sky with blood coming out of his mouth.

A reporter and a cameraman gasp in a helicopter as All Might almost hits them. Gran Torino jumps into the air and grabs All Might before he's able to hit the helicopter.

All Might says, "Gran Torino!"

I watch as All For One starts getting up coughing and says, "You're in the way."

Gran Torino says, "It's the same as the last time. Toshinori. Calm down! Six years ago, you got distracted, and that's how he escaped. And put a hole in your stomach." Gran Torino and All Might land with another boom. All Might growls and coughs as Gran Torino continues, "That's always been your weakness. Don't let him get under your skin! Take a lesson from Cara in being cold."

All Might says, "Yes, sir."

Gran Torino says, "His Quirks and fighting style are completely different than they were. You won't be able to stop him head on. Use your wits! Can you still fight? It's do-or-die. You must go past your limit!"

All Might panting says, "I will."

The reporter that All Might almost hit says while on the TV, "The scene below's straight out of a nightmare. Half of Camino Ward was demolished in a single, horrifying instant. All Might is currently fighting the villain who appears to have caused the blast. I can't believe it. How is one person so powerful? He's destroyed the city and is more than holding his own against the Symbol of Peace."

Nezu, Vlad King, and Dad all watch the TV report while in a meeting room.

Nezu mutters, "Our plan has been thwarted! It's up to you now, All Might!"

In a resident home a woman says watching the TV report, "You see this? Jeez."

The man with her says, "Oh, crap, that looks terrible!"

A citizen in another location says, "All Might looks kind of beat up."

Another says, "Whoa. I've never seen him like this!"

A teenager asks, "Where's Camino Ward again?"

Another citizen says, "Daddy may not have work tomorrow, hon."

A child says, "Really?"

A citizen from before says, "Why aren't the other heroes helping?"

Another says, "Man, these villain attacks are getting insane."

Another says, "That, or the heroes are just slackin' off."

Another, "They're gettin' soft! I mean, I hate to say it, but it's true."

Another says, "It looks bad, sure, but All Might's the best. He'll win in the end, right?"

Ochaco, Tokoyami, Mineta, Tsu, and Aoyama are watching the news in their homes. Eijiro, Izuku, Bakugo, and Tenya are watching it where they are outside of the station.

All Might coughs into his hand.

Looking at All For One I want to gag as he has no obvious face features anymore from the fight years ago with All Might.

All For One says causing All Might to look up, "I find myself conflicted. Tomura has been the one to chip away at society's trust in heroes, so is it fair that I should land the final blow? You know, All Might, as much as you hate me, I think I probably loathe you more. I killed your master, sure. But you took away so much from me, everything I tried to build. That's why I want you to suffer until your last breath," I watch as All For One's arm starts inflating again with power as he continues, "and die broken and disgraced, for all the world to see."

Gran Torino says, "Big one's coming! Dodge and counter!" Gran Torino jumps and I use my ice to slide away quickly as All For One starts to aim his arm.

All For One says, "Not everyone's so fast."

All Might grunts seeing a person behind him in the rubble.

Gran Torino comes back down saying, "Watch out!"

All For One says, "I will obliterate everything you've protected." He lets loose the power causing a lot of wind again and I create another ice dome, Gran Torino grunts and yelps in the air as he's flung backward. All Might stays where he is trying to take the blast himself to prevent the person behind him getting hurt more. I quickly flame up once it stops to get ready to attack. All For One says, "First to go will be your self-respect, and ridiculous public image." I see that All Might has gone to his deflated state and his left hand his bloodied. All For One continues, "Show the world how pitiful you really are, 'Symbol of Peace'."

In the square the citizens murmur. Bakugo watches wide eyed the Live News Report.

A man in the crowd says, "He looks like a skeleton."

The reporter says, "Uh. What's wrong? Is-Is everyone else seeing this? It looks like All Might's been shrunk somehow!"

Izuku remembers when he first met All Might and told him about the fight from six years ago.

All Might says, "Most of the world has never heard of this fight. I did everything I could to keep the injury under wraps. I'm supposed to be the guy who's always smiling, right? I'm the Symbol of Peace. People everywhere have to think that I'm never afraid."

Izuku watching the fight mutters, "All Might...Your secret!"

All For One says while floating, "Hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. To think that you're their greatest hero. Now the adoring public knows your true form. Try not to be ashamed. Your move." All For One is now on the ground again.

All Might says, "Even as my body rots and grows frail. Even as you expose my weakened state." All Might makes another fist and light starts coming from it as he continues, "In my heart, I remain the Symbol of Peace. And there's nothing you can do to take that from me."

All For One says, "Is that so? Ah, well. I'd forgotten how stubborn you are. I guess I'll just give up." He puts one finger up and says, "Oh! But there is one thing you might be interested to know. Tomura Shigaraki? My apprentice? He's Nana Shimura's grandson." We all freeze. All For One says, "I kept wondering what would annihilate your golden heart. And so I found Tomura. Groomed him to hate you, and watched you smile so proudly as you beat your master's descendant."

All Might says quietly, "That's a lie."

All For One says, "Oh, come now. You know it's the truth. That is clearly something I would do. Huh! Well, well. That's strange, All Might. Where is your smile now?" All For One cackles.

All Might remembers Nana saying, "If you have to save someone, that means they've probably gone through something terrifying. They'll be frightened. Remember that real heroes don't just save lives. They save a person's heart, too. You know what I think? No matter how scared you are, you should smile to show that things'll be okay. In this world, the ones always smiling are the ones who are the strongest!"

All Might whispers, "You bastard."

All For One laughs and says, "How very entertaining. I think I've taken a piece of you after all."

All Might says, "He's my master's grandchild...My god, what would she say if she knew how he turned out?" All Might screams.

A woman behind us on the rubble says, "Don't lose. Keep going, All Might! We need you!"

A woman watching the news report says, "He's frozen!"

A man says, "This is bad."

Bakugo says quietly, "Beat this guy."

Another in the crowd says, "No way. What next?"

Another says, "Is he gonna lose?"

Another says, "He's always been able to win before, so he can do it again, right?"

The woman says, "Yeah, even if he looks totally different, he's still the same All Might."

A man says, "Come on, All Might, you can do it!"

The crowd starts shouting encouragement at the screen as Tenya, Izuku, and Eijiro look around.

Izuku turns back to the screen crying and says, "Win this!"

Bakugo yells, "Beat him!"

Both Izuku and Bakugo yell together, "Come on, All Might!"

I watch as All Might starts having electricity running around him and he forces his right arm to beef up saying, "Fear not, miss. I'm not done yet. You were right. A hero has so much to protect in this world. Which is why I will defeat you!"
