"All Might!" Mineta yells.

"I've been waiting, hero," Shigaraki sneers.

As All Might runs down the steps, he knocks villains out of the way. He rushes to my dad, picking him up as I teleport to them. I take my dad from All Might, seeing that he's unconscious.

All Might charges at Shigaraki, getting ready to punch him when it's intercepted by the Nomu. The wind from the punch knocks Shigaraki's hand from his face and he puts his hand on his face, turning to where his hand had landed.

"No good. I'm sorry father," I hear through the earpiece.

"Calm down Shig," I say into the mic as I summon shadows to lift the hand to him.

"Zu!"

"What?" Izuku asks, running to me.

"Are you able to steal Nomu's quirk?"

"Probably," he says looking at Nomu. "It seems as if he has two quirks."

"Yeah, shock absorption and regeneration. Can you take just one quirk? The regeneration one?"

"I'll try," he says, staring at Nomu as a red aura flows from it to Izuku, Izuku's eyes changing to red.

"Ah. So this is the famous Izuku I've heard so much about," Shigaraki says.

"Izuku, can you transfer the quirk to Erasure?"

"Yeah," he says, putting his hand in my dad's hand and the red aura flows from Izuku to my dad.

Even as my dad starts healing, he's still passed out. I teleport up to where Thirteen is and I set Dad against the wall next to the door.

"He's got shock absorption. Throwing punches to save others," Shigaraki says laughing as I teleport back down to Izuku. "That's our state-sponsored violence. Your fast, but not as fast as expected. Could it be true that you're getting weaker?"

"Yes Shig," I whisper into the mic. "I already told you that."

As I make myself invisible by wrapping myself in shadows, I create a clone of shadows that looks exactly like I do where I was standing. I grow my hair long and change its color to white as I change my eye color to red. I use the shadows to create a long black dress and solidify it, covering my hero outfit.

I teleport to where my other shadow clone is, dissipating it as I become visible again. I walk behind Shigaraki and create a ball of shadows, throwing it at him.

"Ow!"

"Come on, that didn't hurt. You need to listen to me when I tell you things about heroes."

As Nomu goes to attack Asui and Mineta, All Might shouts, "Fear not! Carolina! Smash!"

I wrap the shadows around Asui and Mineta as All Might punches Nomu, causing a large gust of wind and tearing his shirt. All Might grabs Nomu from behind and swings him back over his shoulder, trying to slam him into the ground.

"Trying to slam Nomu into the ground..." I start.

"To seal his movements," Shigaraki finishes and I look at him giving him a small smile.

"It wouldn't have worked."

"He's as strong as you. Well done. Perfect timing Kurogiri."

"I can't say I like the idea of having blood inside my gate, but if it's yours I'll happily oblige. It's Nomu's job to get around that blinding speed of yours and mine to close the gate when your halfway in, splitting you in two."

Katsuki explodes an explosion at Kurogiri's neck, tackling him to the ground, putting his foot on his back. Kirishima comes and tries to punch Shigaraki. I pull him out of the way, accidentally pulling him to the ground.

"Sorry 'bout that," I say, wrapping shadows around my right hand, solidifying them as I grab his wrist, pulling him up.

"So I hear you're here to kill All Might," Shoto says as he freezes one side of Nomu.

"Crap! I almost had him!" Kirishima shouts.

"Guess you're not all that, you misty man!" Katsuki shouts, grinning.

"But scum like you could never kill the symbol of peace," Shoto says calmly.

"Oh, I could," I say as All Might escapes Nomu's grip.

"You can't!" Katsuki shouts.

"Oh, yes I can," I say, summoning a dagger of shadows, throwing it at All Might.

Kirishima jumps in the way, trying to intercept it with his hardened skin. I control the dagger so it goes around him, stabbing him in the weak spot that he showed Izuku. I see it takes all his effort to not bend over in pain.

"You've pinned down our ticket out of here. That might be a problem," Shigaraki says, looking at me.

"Got you," I say as I wrap the shadows around Katsuki, lifting him off of Kurogiri and setting him on the ground further away.

"Not only have you beat our level, but you're at full health. Today's kids are something."

"Yeah, you know me."

"Shut up. I already know you're cool. Focus. Nomu, get All Might," Shigaraki says as I dissipate the shadow dagger.

Nomu cracks out of the ice, half his body missing. He hops over to where All Might is and All Might punches Nomu multiple times, building up enough force, sending him flying through the domed ceiling. All Might is surrounded by dust, but I can see the steam signaling he's almost out of time. Izuku also sees it as he looks at All Might.

"Why didn't Nomu heal?" Shigaraki says scratching his neck.

"Izuku took the regen quirk."

"That's a problem for us. Anyways, anything to save a comrade, right? Violence in the name of saving others is admirable. Isn't it, hero? You know what All Might? That pisses me off! Heroes and Villains both thrive on violence but are categorized into good and evil. That's how it is!"

"I've heard the phrase, heroes and villains are two sides of the same coin. But have you heard the saying, what's the difference between a hero and a villain? It's who's telling the story."

"Symbol of peace? Ha! You're nothing more than a tool meant to keep us down!"

"Violence just breeds more violence."

"Kurogiri, take care of All Might. We've got the kids. Let's clear this level."

"Well, villains, how about we finish this?" All Might asks through gritted teeth.

"If only we still had the full-powered Nomu," Shigaraki says scratching his neck.

"Stop that. We've all done some damage to All Might. Look, I even stabbed him."

"Yes, yes. We've brought down his HP. It's not enough though."

"Reinforcements should be coming soon. But, if we triple up on him, we can defeat him."

"And that's why you're the second leader."

"I know, come on," I say as we charge at All Might.

"Yes, you're right. We'll defeat the final boss."

Izuku comes running at us, his legs broken as he tries to punch Kurogiri. Izuku aims for Kurogiri and Shigaraki's hand appears in front of his face. But before he can touch Izuku, shots are fired, one going through his hand and he pulls it back. More shots are fired and a ton hit Shigaraki. I bring up a wall of shadows as Kurogiri wraps a warp gate around us.

Shigaraki and I run through the warp gate. We arrive at the bar, and Shigaraki falls to the floor.

"Ow. We got crushed. They got Nomu too."

"Can I have your phone?"

"Why?"

"Just listen to me."

"Fine. It's on the bar," he says and I grab it.

I text myself, I need your help.

Why? I text back.

Got hurt.

Coming, I text saying, "We didn't get crushed. We may have been defeated by All Might, but we got him down to low health and we learned what works well and what doesn't. Also, the reason why Nomu was defeated was that you almost killed my father!" I say bending down, slapping Shigaraki in the face.

"Ouch!"

"That's why I told Izuku to steal Nomu's healing quirk."

"Why would that matter? He still had shock absorption," All For One says.

"He got half his body frozen in ice and then broke out of it. It resulted in him losing half his body so he only had one arm and one leg."

"Okay, now tell me, who's your father?"

"I would rather not disclose that information with you at this time or in the foreseeable future. And, um, can we hurry this up? Shigaraki needs some medical attention."

"Kurogiri, did you at least get Nomu back?"

"I couldn't get him without the exact coordinates."

"Kurogiri, are there medical supplies here?"

"No, there aren't."

"Okay. I'll head out and buy some," I say walking out, stopping as I get to the doorway. "If your problem with Nomu is that you don't know his exact coordinates, why don't you guys put a tracker in the Nomu for the future?"

I walk for a bit to the nearest medical shop grabbing bandages, saline solution, sterile tweezers, a driver instrument, and Monocryl filament. After I get all the supplies, I teleport back to the bar.

"I'm back," I say, setting the materials on the bar.

"Finally," Shigaraki says.

"Yeah, yeah. Give me your hand," I say, holding the tweezers.

I grab his hand and take the bullet out with the tweezers. Then I take the saline solution and clean his wound. I take the Monocryl filament out of its box and start stitching him up.

After I'm done I say, "You need to keep the wound clean." I finished wrapping the bandage around his hand. "I see you have a wound on each arm and leg. I need to get to your arms and legs. Is it okay if I cut your shirt and pants?"

"Sure."

I grab the scissors that Kurogiri hands me and cut off the sleeves and pant legs. I take the bullets out, stitch him up and wrap bandages around him.

"You need to keep the stitches clean. They should be absorbed into your body in about three weeks."

"So Erasure is your father."

"Yup. I should probably get going," I say as I dissipate the shadow dress that I have on, revealing my hero outfit. "If I'm going to keep dragging you into hero work. You need a different name. How does, hmm, Thanatos sound?"

"Sure."

"Okay, Thanatos. Bye for now," I say teleporting to my father.

I look and see that my clone is in the room and I dissipate her. I walk over to my father who is sitting in a chair next to Dad who's unconscious.

"How's Dad?"

"Weren't you in here the whole time the doctor explained?" my father asks me and I stay silent. "That was one of your clones. Wasn't it?"

"Yeah."

"You're bleeding."

"I'm fine."

"I'll get Recovery Girl."

"No, I'm fine, really. How's Izuku?"

"He's in with the rest of the class, waiting to inform the police."

"So I'm guessing they've collected all the other villains and Izuku got healed by Recovery Girl," I say, noticing Father texting someone.

"Yup."

"I'm here Yamada," Recovery Girl says entering the room. "You said Hizuki was hurt."

"Yes."

"I said I was fine."

"You're bleeding dear."

"I was just thrown by Nomu. It's probably just some scratches."

"Then why are your hands covered in blood?"

"Oh, they are," I say looking down at my hands.

"Why?" Father asks.

"I had to stitch a friend up in the next city over. That's why I had my clone here. They hurt themselves and texted me. I teleported to them straight away."

"Okay. Well did you hit your head when Nomu threw you?" Recovery Girl asks, looking over my scratches.

"Come to think of it, I did hit my head on the fountain when I was thrown."

"Headache, dizziness? Anything like that?"

"Nope," I say as Recovery Girl kisses my hand, healing me.

"You should probably head over to the classroom and give the police your report," Father says as Recovery Girl leaves.

"Okay, call me when Dad wakes up," I say, walking out of the hospital room. "Hello." Everyone turns to me in shock except for Hitoshi. "What?"

"You're Persephone?" the whole class shouts at me.

"Yes."

"So are you and that guy dating?" Ashido asks.

"Why does everyone think that?"

"So, no," Shoto says.

"Well, then who is he?" Uraraka asks.

"A friend. Now, where's Izuku?"

"He's in the nurse's office."

I think of Izuku teleporting to him.

"Hey, Zu."

"Hey there Hizuki."

"You good?" I ask.

"I had two broken legs. That's all. All Might got stabbed in his weak spot by the villain. I never caught her name. I know there's Kurogiri and Shigaraki Tomura. But I don't know who that white-haired girl was."

"I caught her name. They said it's the Queen of Darkness."

"It seems she has a similar quirk to you. I think she took inspiration from you calling herself the Queen of Darkness like how you're Persephone."

"You're Persephone?" I hear All Might say from the bed next to Izuku's

"Yes. It's kind of obvious. How's your stab wound?"

"'Healed thanks to Recovery Girl."

"I would like to ask you about your story of what happened," Detective Tsukauchi asks me.

His quirk is being able to tell if someone's lying if I remember correctly. "Sure thing Detective."

"First off, All Might, does she know about One For All?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Tell me your story."

"I was there fighting villains with Erasure."

"You wouldn't talk when we came to capture the villains. If I'm correct, your shadow clones can't talk, can they?"

"No, they can't."

"Then where were you?"

"One of my friends in the next city got hurt so I rushed to them to help."

"Can I see your phone?"

"Sure," I say, unlocking it and opening up my messages with Shigaraki.

"You're good."

"Thanks," I say, taking my phone back. "Izuku," I say, hugging him. "Thank you for taking Nomu's quirk and giving it to my dad."

"No problem."

Recovery Girl comes in and finishes healing Izuku and All Might.

"It's time for you two to head home now. Get some rest so you're ready for tomorrow."

"Yes, Recovery Girl," Izuku and I both say.

I head to the locker rooms and change out of my hero outfit and back into my uniform. I met Izuku in the yard after everyone else had left and we headed home together.
