"Bring me your champion."
That was all the warning we got.
He appeared in the centre of the city. One of the major population centres. He interrupted a fight between Mt. Lady and a new villain. Appearing between the two. The news cameras and bystanders phones immediately going to him. He backhanded the villain through a cafe before delivering his demand. For the champion. The strongest.
What was once a fight turned into a standoff between a growing number of Pro Heroes and the unknown man. He stood silently with his arms crossed in the middle of the street. Any Hero who approached he would coldly say;
"You are not the champion."
And continue to ignore them. No Hero was brazen or dumb enough to attack him. Even when Endeavour, the number 2 Hero arrived he said the same thing. His tone of cold indifference. He was waiting for one man and one man alone.
All Might.
"Never fear for I am here!"
All Might landed in the middle of the crowd. He could see the faces of those around him light up as they saw the Symbol of Peace.
All might stood and gazed at the man who had sought him. He stood just over six foot and had short, spiky black hair and a goatee. He wore a sleeveless white top that resembled armour and long, dark red pants with pointed white boots. He wore a pair of black braces on his wrists. Around his waist was a furry looking belt. He stared at All Might with a scowl. Sizing him up, judging him.
"Greetings. You sought me, correct?" All Might called to him.
He scrutinised All Might with his gaze before he replied.
"You are the champion of this planet?"
"I am the Symbol of Peace. ALL MIGHT!" A boisterous laugh left All Might's lips as he struck a heroic pose. His hands on his hips and a broad smile on his face.
"Then it is you I am here to fight." The other man called across the expanse.
"I'd rather you surrender without incident." All Might called to the man.
The man's eyes narrowed at All Might. "This is not something you can debate away."
"Then I have no choice but to accept your challenge, do I?" A stern expression covered All Might's face. "I accept. Though if you harm another, the other heroes will not hesitate to intervene."
"I am here to fight you, and only you, The rest mean nothing." Was the reply.
All Might approached the other man until there was five metres between them.
"Stand back citizens! This will get hectic!"
The other man continued to stare All Might down.
"My name is Serori," The man, Serori, unfolded his arms and got into a fighting stance. Index and middle finger extended on each finger while the others were curled. Left hand forward in front of his face while the other was back by his waist. "And I shall test your might."
The two men started circling each other. All Might watched as Serori threw random feints in an attempt to make him react. The only thought going through All Might's head was how to end the fight quickly without casualties. With a thought to the various moves he knew he figured out which move to defeat this man. With a quick twitch All Might threw himself forward, arm raised.
"TEXAS SMASH!" He yelled.
The attack whipped up dirt and wind, covering the street in dust, blinding onlookers from the aftermath. Though All Might wasn't sure it worked as he felt something solid against his fist. As the dust settled a hush went over the crowd. A crowd that could be further away in All Might's opinion. At the end of All Might's fist, at the end of a pair of two metre gouges in the road beneath them. Was Serori with his arms in an X position in front of himself, having blocked the attack. All Might could see a frown form on the man's face. He said one thing to All Might.
"Mediocre."
The man's hands snapped to All Might's arm, holding it tight in an iron grip before, with a heave, throwing All Might down the road. He tumbled, rolling over before All Might was able to land on his feet. All Might looked up and raised his hands, His opponent was already on him, above him with leg raised in an axe-kick. All Might felt the road buckle beneath him. The power of the kick sending his feet through the asphalt. He pushed the leg back, sending his opponent into a backflip, landing five metres opposite him. All Might stepped out of the newly formed potholes and regarded his opponent.
"I underestimated your strength." All Might said calmly.
The only reply he received was Serori cracking his knuckles. All Might rushed his opponent, a fast punch aimed for the head. He felt the blow connect but also felt his opponent connect with one of their own to his gut. They traded blows again and again before All Might sent a feinted right hook and a straight kick to his opponents midsection. The kick connected, throwing his opponent twenty metres. All Might jumped in the air, somersaulting forward to where Serori landed. He drew his fist back.
"CALIFORNIA SMASH!"
Serori looked up in time to see All Might's fist connect with his chest, sending him through the road and the pipes below. The street fell silent. Wind whipping all about. A cheer went through the crowd at seeing their guardian send a villain through the road. All Might gazed at his right fist. He was pushing it today and he knew it. Any longer and One For All would have run out. He gauged himself to have fifteen minutes left, maybe ten. All Might shifted his attention to the large crater in the road. He walked closer to the hole, peering down into the darkness where he sent his opponent. He'd probably have to retrieve the body, hopefully they were unconscious. He didn't know how tough this Serori man was but he hoped he didn't kill him. In All Might's thoughts He barely had time to register the sound of breaking asphalt below him as a pair of hands broke through the road and grabbed him by the ankles. He was pulled through the street. He felt a powerful uppercut impact his jaw, sending him up through the road again. He heard the crowd hush as He hit the road. All Might shook his head to dispel the punch and made his way to his feet, in time to see his opponent climb out of the large hole they had made.
His opponent looked barely worse for wear. There were some scuff marks on his clothes and a crack in the middle of his top. All Might watched as his opponent yawned!?
"Are you going to get serious at some point, or keep holding back?" Serori asked.
All Might looked at the devastated road around them "What do you call this?" He called.
"A warmup." Was the reply.
All Might needed to take this fight out of the city. He had severely underestimated his opponents strength. If their battle continued here then there could be countless civilian casualties.
A laugh escaped All Might's lips, his reassuring smile taking it's place. "You are strong, I must admit. If we are to continue our battle then we must leave the city."
"I'm not moving."
"It wasn't a request."
All Might dashed over to Serori, grabbing him by the arms. He quickly spun around.
"OKLAHOMA SMASH!"
All Might threw the man, he struck a building, continuing through and out of Musutafa City. All Might started sprinting in the direction He threw him before jumping, taking to the air in pursuit. Leaving the civilians to disperse, the police to arrest the new villain and a few Pro Heroes to pursue All Might so they could continue to observe the fight.
All Might found him twelve kilometres outside the city in a field. The man had his arms crossed again. He looked up at All Might's arrival.
"Are you finally ready to fight?" Serori called to him.
"A normal person would be a crumpled heap."
"I am far from normal."
All Might ran at Serori. Hands raised in a cross position.
"CAROLINA SMASH!"
He brought his hands down only to feel Serori catch his attack. He was holding each arm and seemed to be a tad strained. A smile crept onto his face.
"Better. Keep this up and I might be satisfied."
What Serori meant All Might didn't know. The two stayed in this position for a few seconds, a test of strength before they split apart again. Serori was on him immediately.
"METEOR CRASH!"
The flurry of blows that came at All Might were fast, he barely managed to dodge half of them, the rest striking him all over his body. The two split apart, giving both some breathing space before All Might dashed forward with a punch aimed at his opponents chest. When the punch missed He threw a left at Serori's gut. As he did so All Might drew his fist back again and threw a powerful hook into Serori's chest. Cracking his armour more and sending him flying two kilometres. All Might turned around and jumped. He prepared his fists.
"NEW HAMPSHIRE SMASH!"
All Might punched the air, sending himself flying after Serori. He turned himself around in midair, just in time to catch a bright red flash before Serori came rocketing at him. Their arms meeting in a midair clash. All Might didn't know what happened. A bright aura surrounded the man. The sheer power of their clash cracked the ground below them, a crater forming, trees were uprooted and sent flying. The air crackled at the power being output by the two. They split apart before re-engaging each other, trading blows that would kill lesser men.
As the two fought the first Pro Heroes that followed arrived, staying hundreds of metres away. Various News helicopters showed up as well. Broadcasting live not only to Japan but the world a man capable of going toe-to-toe with All Might.
All Might could feel it. He couldn't keep this up. His access to One For All was running out for the day. He needed to do something to end the fight, and quickly. They split apart again. Before All Might could dash back in his opponent held a hand up, facing him.
"Stop," Serori said. "You are a disappointment."
All Might stopped in his tracks. What was he on about? All Might charged his opponent, fist reared back. But it was of no use, his opponent slipped out of the way and sent a palm strike to the side of his ribcage. Sending All Might stumbling.
"You rely solely on overwhelming strength and power in your fights. Hoping to end it quickly with as little output as possible."
All Might turned and sent twenty punches in a second at his foe. Who moved almost casually out of the way of each one. Talking all the while.
"You lack technique and finesse. To the lowly you are invincible, to a skilled opponent you are laughable."
His opponent slipped a punch through All Might's guard, hitting him just above his scar and sending him backwards.
"Any foe of sufficient skill who is not taken in by your legend can beat you easily."
A palm strike to All Might's solar plexus sent him flying back. Colliding with a dirt mound, sending detritus into the air. All Might watched his opponent calmly walk towards him.
"If you are set in your ways however, I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
All Might eyed his opponent from the dirt he was in, breathing heavy. His opponent looked no worse for wear however, the only damage being to his clothes.
The two combatants locked eyes.
"Do you understand?" Serori called.
All Might nodded once. "Yes."
All Might began racking his brain for what he could do. He couldn't do the United States of Smash, not if he didn't want to keep using One For All. What about combining two moves? Yes, yes that would work.
He looked into his opponents onyx eyes. "As hard as I can?"
"Prove I haven't wasted my time."
All Might jumped and propelled himself high in the air with a New Hampshire Smash before turning around at the height of the move, well above the clouds. He did another New Hampshire Smash, sending him back down to earth at the speed of sound. He turned around again and began doing somersaults. He was rocketing down at his target. Once he was close enough he unfurled himself and drew his fist back. He could see his opponent looking up impassively. It didn't matter.
"CALIFORNIA SMASH!"
His fist impacted and the ground broke around them, wind battering any remaining trees. Displacing anything that wasn't rooted to the earth. The news helicopters above were battered by turbulence. The Pro Heroes were also not free from the wind or the shockwave of the supersonic punch.
A sense of finality filled All Might, but one of dread also as he felt something hard beneath his fist. The wind cleared and stood before All Might was his opponent Serori. Something changed. A frown adorned his face as the earth cracked beneath him. And caught in his hand was All Might's fist. Shock washed over All Might. He caught the punch. All Might failed. And the other man was barely sweating. He felt the spray of blood leave his nose. He was out of time. All Might fell to the ground, broken, bested. His opponent let his hand fall. He wouldn't be able to see young Midoriya grow. All Might, no, Toshinori Yagi dragged himself to his knees. He'd face death with dignity, One For All was passed on to another and the light of hope still shone bright. He could hear his opponent suck in a breath to speak.
"I surrender."
What? Those were not the words Toshinori expected to hear from someone about to kill him. He opened his eyes to see his opponent kneeling in front of him, hand raised offering him something. Acting like the two weren't just in a battle for the fate of Japan. In his hand was a small light green bean.
"Eat."
Toshinori didn't move.
"It's not poisonous." Serori popped the bean into his own mouth before bringing another bean out of a small bag. He offered the bean.
"It's a Senzu Bean. It heals you and restores stamina."
Toshinori slowly took the bean from his hand and popped it into his mouth. He chewed it for a few seconds before swallowing. The change was instant. He felt better than he had in years. He looked over to Serori who had stood again and was offering a hand to help him up.
"Allow me to introduce myself."
Toshinori took the offered hand. He felt so good. Could he? He focused on that feeling of using his quirk, of One For All. He looked down at his muscled form. Something he shouldn't be able to use right now. A boisterous laugh escaped All Might's lips. He turned his attention to the man he was fighting not a minute ago.
"I am Serori of the Time Patrol. Something went wrong and I was placed here instead of where I intended to go."
"Time Patrol? Like through time?"
"As the name suggests."
"Then why did you challenge me to a fight?"
Serori locked eyes with All Might. "I wanted to see the skill of local populace. See if the local race could stand against me."
"The local race? So...you're not from here?"
"No, I am a Saiyan of Planet Vegeta."
All Might watched as a Monkey Tail unfurled from Serori's waist.
"So you're an alien?" This...This was not how All Might had expected this day to go.
"By your standards. To me you are the aliens." Serori glanced around the devastated battlefield.
All Might watched as the various Pro Heroes and news crews approached slowly.
"I have a great many questions. Would you be able to answer them?"
"We shall see."
A large, reassuring smile graced All Might's face as he turned to greet the approaching Endeavour.
I have re-written this as I want to continue the story but the first chapter was not very conducive to a second chapter.
Have A Nice Day!
