Damn idiots coming to rescue me, Deku and Glasses and Weird Hair and -
That iceberg…
"So where the hell's IcyHot?" I asked. Deku held up his cell phone. "Calling him now."
He'd checked in and it seemed IcyHot - and Ponytail, who'd brought them there - were fine.
"We're in front of the train station," said Deku. "Seems like it's outside of that shockwave from before. Our rescue was successful!"
"Rescue!" I cried. "Listen, ok, I wasn't rescued by anybody! I just figured escaping with you idiots was my best chance."
"Whatever you say!" Weird Hair gave me a thumbs up. Though right now he didn't have his weird hair, they were all wearing weird disguises.
I shrugged. "The reason I came along was because I didn't want to get in All Might's way," I told him, and told Deku over my shoulder. I didn't get saved, ok?
"Look!" cried Glasses.
The TV on the side of the building had lit up - and we were looking at the place we'd just left from above, as All Might and the Speedy geezer were facing off with the floating mask faced bastard.
"It's like a bad dream! In a flash, the Kamino Ward has been brought to a destroyed state! Presently All Might is battling with the villain thought to be the ringleader! A single villain, destroying so much, and more than holding his own against the symbol of peace!"
Dammit, All Might - he looks really beat up now -
The Villain was aiming yet another attack at All Might. I wanted to jump and do something -
The blast engulfed All Might completely, as he stopped it hitting someone behind him.
The debris cleared.
Standing there in All Might's baggy costume was a shrunken, emaciated, skeletal man, with lank blonde hair and arms like sticks. He was holding his hand up - his fist up -
All might?!
what
The announcers said "Um, what has happened? Everybody is able to see this, right? All Might's been shrunk somehow!"
how…
"His secret…"
Deku's voice…he was standing by me…
what did you just say?
And all Might - looked like he was screaming.
no…you can't - of all people, the - he can't -
"Win…" I gasped out.
Around me the extras were saying the same.
"No, it can't…"
"All Might!"
"You have to win! Who can win against that?"
"Even if he looks different, he's still All Might after all, right?"
"Time and again, he's been able to do something, one w ay or another!"
"You can do it All Might!"
"Don't lose, All might!"
"You can do it!"
And we yelled at the same time, our voices together like we'd thought the same thing at once.
"WIN, ALL MIGHT!" I cried with Izuku.
And on Tv, against all odds, All Might seemed to be coming back, buffing up his arm and preparing to fight All for One.
While we all screamed, we saw on TV Endeavor and Edgeshot had joined him. A few other pro extras too, getting people out of the debris.
The villain had blasted them all, though, out of the way. and buffed up his arm into something - something so unbelievably gross that I'd never seen the likes of it before.
A twisted, horrifying abomination of multiple arms and metal rivets…
And he was aiming that monstrosity right - at - All Might
no no please no not like this -
We all were frozen, then started cheering again. And the punch hit - the blast from it obscured the camera. When it cleared, All Might was being pushed back - despite everything he was doing to fight it off - he was getting ground down into the ground like he was fighting off a semi-truck.
you can win you have to you have to win…
Then suddenly he hit the villain from the other side.
The Villain was preparing though - it hadn't been hard enough…he would hit him -
All Might's right arm was flapping at his side, broken and twisted and purple…like…
Then he put the strength back in that arm and threw it at the villain. The already broken arm…
his already broken arm…
like Deku did. At the sports festival. And just now.
All Might had swung that punch at the villain, and again it kicked up dust and blocked out the camera and I could hardly breathe until it cleared.
The villain was on the ground. All Might was standing. Dripping blood.
Then he lifted his left arm in a fist. The crowd screamed out in triumph and started cheering like crazy.
"He's saved the day again!"
Somehow, though…I couldn't cheer. Because I had a suspicion -
look what you've done now…to the symbol of peace…
We moved along with the crowd, as everyone evacuated.
"They're distributing blankets over here! They're providing assistance at the emergency shelter over there! Please proceed in an orderly fashion…"
"Our mobility is in this crowd is rather limited," said Glasses. "I wanted to link p with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, though."
"In any case, let's get moving," said Weird hair, pushing me along.. "We have to let the heroes know about Bakugou, don't we?"
"Yeah," mumbled Deku.
He'd looked a bit sorry the whole time, like something was bugging him.
Everyone turned around suddenly. The TV screen was showing the villain getting loaded into the maiden. And All Might had turned to the screen and pointed.
"Now…"
We turned all to look .
"Now, it's your turn."
The crowd roared in triumph.
"He's so amazing!"
"That's our hero!"
One person nwasn't cheering. One person was crying.
Deku was. Looking up at All Might and crying like crazy. As if somehow what he'd said meant something different to him.
A bunch of stuff suddenly clicked into place in my head in that moment.
All Might's power…
The Villain who seemed to know him.
Nomu with multiple quirks.
All for one..All Might…and Deku, with a quirk that appeared from nowhere.
no way…
"Your power resemble's All Might's" Frog Face had said. "That power coming from you felt the same as All Might's" Icy Hot had said that too…
that's not possible…
"You just know that boy is going to go wrong". That's what the world thought of me…that's what the villains had thought of me…
"now, it's your turn."
And that is what All Might thinks of you?
Has All Might somehow chosen you?
Did he somehow give you…his quirk?
