The (former) Heroine and The Villain

by bajy

The unthinkable happens, All For One escapes from jail! But then nothing happens afterward, As if he had vanished in thin air, no one's seen him & his minions in 2yrs. During that time, while still fighting some villains, things have been more peaceful, but some could not shake the feeling that this was the calm before the storm, especially Toshinori (AFO x Fem Toshi)

1. Prologue

From a poll that I had on my my hero Academia Amino account, from an idea that I've been having for quite some time like probably a week or two (i lost count how much time had passed before I posted this), I decided to do a brand new story, putting two of the ones that I was doing on hiatus for a while but that is okay. I'll be doing this along with continuing my other story "Its because of him that our lives changed for the better", so please do not worry my fellow readers it will still keep going. I've always loved any beauty and the beast story, so long as it doesn't have magic (i use to like it but not anymore) or anything that I'm not too fond of, and I loved seeing some of the recent art on genderbend characters from My Hero Academia, thinking about it for a while soon led to this idea.

I do not own my hero Academia, I only own the story and any OC that pop up.

My inspiration not only came from the beauty and beast stories I've read and seen, but also thanks to some of the fellow fanfiction writers on for the inspiration and some vids on YouTube as well, there are too many to name but I can name only a couple by username on the top of my head I've read (on fanfiction) from and watched (on YouTube) on a vid in the past: Disneyfanatic2364, sycamoreleaf, and TransformersMangaFangirl.

And by the way, there will be some slight changes to the timeline, as expected, but no spoilers, you will have to read it for yourself to find out.

I do hope you will enjoy this! Starting with the prologue! Sorry for the long week for some you waiting for the story to happen from the amino app there was so much to get in and a lot of things I needed to do at home, enjoy!

Once upon a time in a Land of Tokyo, there is a young woman named Toshinori Yagi who lived in a world where 80% of the population had some kind of special power better known as a quirk. But, there was far more to her than meets the eye, for she was not just a regular women, she was a pro Hero, and not just any pro Hero but the number one (female) hero and better known as the symbol of peace: All Might.

Before that, she was a quirkless girl which being quirkless was a rare thing as this often left those who did not have a special power to be ridiculed and bullied and tormented in more ways than one can even think of by those around them all because they didn't have something that made them incredibly special like everyone else, not to mention that crime was on the rise in the country of Japan, and everywhere for that matter, and even though she did not have a special power she did have a strong sense of justice and wanted to do however she could to help those in need despite the danger and being looked down upon by everyone else, this however caught the attention of a fellow pro Hero, a woman in her late thirty's, Silver Wind, known as Nana Shimura.

The two had met not long after Toshinori risk her life to save an old woman and her granddaughter from being ran over by a semi truck, and after she got mock By gang of boys from her school for her recklessness and for not having a quirk.

She told her about the reason why crime was on the rise everywhere was because nobody had somebody to trust and count on, to give them hope and assurance and safety, to tell them that everything would be okay, that they needed a symbol a peace to look to. That was what she wanted to be, she wanted to be the person, the pillar, to make it happen, that's what drove her to be a hero even though she did not have a quirk. This really captured Nana's interest, even though she told her that the idea sounded silly and that she sounded crazy, she was not going to give up no matter what anybody said.

Who knew this would lead to her being trained under Nana and her partner and most trusted friend, Sorahiko, better known as Gran Torino? Who knew this would lead to her learning about what Nana's quirk actually was, where it came from, how it came to be, what its purpose was, and how powerful it was? Who knew it could be transferred to another person and got stronger as it pass along? Who knew this would lead to a serious amount of training to get her body fit enough to be able to contain the power without actually hurting herself with it? Who knew that Nana and Gran Torino would be the ones to help her make her dream come true?

Though she knew several things: 1: she would have to work harder than most people to achieve her dream and master One For All (the name of the quirk) completely since unlike the previous users she herself was quirkless hence why the extra effort and work. 2: while attending UA she needs to make sure that she was keeping up with her academics and studies as hero work was not only just about fighting bad guys and rescuing people as it also means using your wits and using your head on the field and should not and could not be reckless about it. 3: the road to achieving her dream was not going to be an easy one even though she was able to figure out how to use the quirk off the bat right away she knew that she still had a long road ahead of her before she reached her dream. And 4 (and most importantly): she would have to face a great and terrible villain who's evil knew no bounds nor did his dark heart, to end his reign of terror once and for all. To stop him before he caused any more harm and misery to everybody.

She had been told countless times before how dangerous this man, better known as All For One, was, what he can do, what he was capable of doing, how far he would go to destroy his enemies, how twisted, manipulative, and just absolutely evil he truly was, how he had caused so much harm and misery to innocent people for many years and I quite mean literally many years as he had a quirk that let him live for much longer than most people could, one of immortality as he has lived for over a hundred years though that absolutely did not mean that he could not be harmed and could not get sick and could not die as just because he was immortal it did not mean that he was invincible although he has countless amounts of quirks under his belt at his disposal to use in a fight and to his advantage (who knows how many quirks he actually had as she thought probably hundreds), how he had murdered the other previous users in the past but not before they were able to transfer their Quirk to their apprentices long before their untimely deaths. She knew that facing him was going to be very very dangerous when that time came...

... But never did she knew how soon she was going to face him and really saw and realized just how dark and evil he truly was...

Needless to say it was total chaos, seeing his quirks in action, what his personality truly was like, how much destruction he had caused and how many unfortunate casualties had been caused by that as well even it was only just a couple of lives any life lost was very upsetting and heart-wrenching not to mention stomach-turning as she could still remember seeing the bloody and battered bodies of the victims in the mess. How hard her master and dearest friend, and to her a mother that she never had growing up, fought against the evil villain unable to lay serious damage on him as he on the other hand was able to harm her quite a bit to the point where she was barely standing, all of them nearly getting killed in that whole fiasco as fear completely and totally consumed the poor young girl as tears were visible around her eyes and she wanted it to stop before Nana got killed but her voice had abandoned her as she couldn't even utter a single word.

As he was about to unleash his final attack on the group, Nana knew what she needed to do as did her partner, with the last bit of her strength she managed to toss Toshinori into the air as Gran Torino grabbed her and rocketed both of them out of there as Nana stayed behind intending to sacrifice herself to ensure that they both got out of there alive and could live to fight another day knowing that she herself wasn't going to make it out of there even if she wanted to escape she barely had enough strength to follow and she was doing everything she could just to stay standing, entrusting the rest of Toshinori's training into the hands of her dearest and most trusted friend.

Toshinori pleaded, begged, for Nana to escape with them, to get out of there before it was too late, to not leave her and her friend as the two of them we're still flying away as she kept screaming for Nana to get out of there as her tears flying along with the wind blowing being created from Gran torinos quirk as they soar through the air.

Her very last words that she said to her student, as she remembered those words all too well which still brought so much pain her heart, As she pointing her finger to her not looking back were, "All Might... it's up to you now... I'm counting on you, my daughter."

She had just called her her daughter, that just as she had saw Nana as to her a mother, Toshinori herself was like a daughter to her mentor. This made her so happy but at the same time brought so much more horror upon her as she realized that she was never going to see her again.

She recalled crying out for Nana one last time before it all ended in a big white explosion that seemed to be made of electricity as a giant dome cover the uncharted island where they fought at horrible monster, leaving nothing but rubble and ruin its quake as the island started to disappear from view as they soared back to the mainlands. She recalled crying for Nana the whole way there as Gran Torino did though he only allowed his tears to show as he kept his mouth shut but they did not stop him from sobbing as even though he knew why Nana did that and what he needed to do now it did not mean that he wasn't going to be broken-hearted about it as he just lost his dearest friend that day, moarning for her. Knowing if he had gone back for her they all would have died, despite the pain he knew this was for the best.

Toshinori was only 18 years old at the time as she was within her final year at UA when Nana had been killed by All For One. She wanted to go after him, but Gran Torino outright refused knowing that she would be killed the first moment she tried, knowing that she wasn't strong enough to face him, far from it. As much as she wanted to argue, she knew that he had a point despite still crying about everything that happened only recently, despite how much she wanted to avenge her fall in mentor and mother, she knew that being reckless was only going to get herself killed no matter how much it hurt her to keep herself from going on a suicidal mission.

Gran Torino, somewhat a sort of a father figure to her, told her that when she graduated she had to flee from Japan, go to America to train, get stronger, to get experience in Hero work, so that she may be ready to face All For One someday, knowing that if she stayed where HE could still reach her she would not stand a chance. Telling her to save her strength.

So during the spring season As she graduated from UA, she had her stuff packed and ready for her to move to America, changing her appearance lately, using her Quirk to go into a more muscular (as muscular as an actual adult woman could get) and taller form, changing her hairstyle with most of her usually unruly hair being smooth out and slick with her usual side bangs being raised up turn into a smooth V that stood high above her head, promoting herself to smile big as she remembered what Nana told her about it, taking the next plane ride going to America that very same day.

There she began her journey to be number 1, a symbol of peace, building up a legacy that would be known my everyone as tales of her heroics reached far ans wide. Getting stronger with each Victory she achieved.

After a very good amount of years living in America, getting hero work in, attending college while at it, facing many challenges and gain lots of experience within that time frame, she eventually moved back to Japan where she opened up her own hero agency in Tokyo, gaining another sidekick, David Shield had been her sidekick when she lived in America, and Sir Nighteye became her partner and sidekick when she had came back to Japan. Several years after that, she eventually found All For One again, as she, Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye fought against him in the final battle to end his reign of terror for good.

Needless to say, it did not end well for both sides as Toshinori had been severely injured by the villain, though despite this she had done more harm to him than what he had done to her as she had caused him injuries so severe that even if he were to survive there would be no way he would ever be able to continue with his reign of terror and even then survival would be pretty slim at best, even though he had escaped by the help of a warping quirk she knew she had won the battle... but a severely high cost on her.

She had lost her stomach, a good portion of a respiratory system and a partial bit of her left lung, her health had deteriorated quite a bit from that and having to undergo countless amounts of surgeries just to keep her alive. Because she didn't have a stomach anymore she did not have as big an appetite as she used to have and thus her body began to shrink from having muscles to being pretty thin, not be nothing to the Bone but still pretty close severity of thin nonetheless as her physique had changed marginally within the months she spent recovering from the ordeal, she would even cough up blood if she got too excited, shocked or greatly startled, or over exerting herself too much.

But that wasn't just it, Recovery girl, one of her dearest friends who knows about One for All and everything, told her that because of her condition the time she would have using her Quirk and being in her hero form were greatly diminished as she could only keep up her hero form for several hours a day.

She, everyone she knew (which was only a very small amount there) who knew about her secret identity and all, had been suggesting that she should retire as she had done more than enough for everyone, she had won the battle and freed everyone from All For One's horror at long last, that she deserves to rest and relax into retirement.

But she refused, knowing that if she were to retire right then and there, things may only get worse in Japan. She was the reason the crime rate in Japan was at 6%, and there were still people out there who needed her help. Despite her friends worries, Sir Nighteye's especially as he with his foresight quirk predicted that if she did not retire then she would die in a couple of years, she kept going. Which resulted with her sidekick leaving her side, wanting to step out of her Shadow and start up his own hero agency.

Though she did accepted that she needed a successor to someday take her place and passed down her Quirk to, but didn't do so until later.

Years went by as she continued to be the number one hero, and symbol of peace, around the time she finally realized that she (as her condition worsened slightly as Time passed) really did needed a successor, when Principal nezu had given her a job offering to teach at UA high to teach the next generation of heroes and find a worthy successor there among the applicants, she encountered a boy that would change everything and showed so much potential, had a huge sense of justice more then even her as well as a deeper drive to become a hero despite being quirkless just like she used to be, despite being really bullied by his peers he kept pushing forward despite how much lack of confidence he had and how much he cried, he never gave up even when she herself had told him that he could not be a hero without a quirk when she was in her vulnerable true state during an incident at the time (she still regreting what she told him due to her own self-loathing over her own weak body at that time). She saw how he risked his life to save his classmate who have been a bully to him for most of his life and yet still risked everything to save him, "Kacchan, I couldn't just stand there and watch you die!" when he said that it pushed her to go past her limit and going to Hero form again to save both of the boys before it was too late, defeating the sludge villain.

Later she had found him eventually on his way home, telling him that she was sorry for what she had said and thank him for getting involved to help even though he was timid and quirkless, telling him If he hadn't been there, if he hadn't told her about his life, she would have turned into a woman in a bodysuit who was just all talk, his actions inspired her to act as She told him: There are stories about many Heroes, How they became great...Most have one thing in common...Their bodies moved before they had a chance to think, almost on their own... And today... that's what happened to you... young man... You too CAN become a hero"

And she meant every word of it as the boy, known as Izuku Midoriya, fell on his knees, holding his chest and cried, she knew how he felt, because she had been in his shoes before.

Not long after that, after having told him that she chose him to be her successor, about her quirk, she trained him pretty hard and long, within the 10 months that they had until the entrance exam as the boy worked hard with everything he had to get rid of all the mountains of garbage from the beach which they had their workouts at, all to train his body so that it would be fit enough to be able to contain her power without accidentally harming him so badly or risk him exploding from the hurricane amount of power within the quirk. He had exceed her expectations despite the minor setback that they had from Izuku modifying the work schedule without her knowledge, even though they were on a bit of a time crunch the boy had succeeded in cleaning up the whole beach. He was ready to receive her quirk.

Of course, One For All was no ordinary quirk (obviously) as the quirk can only be passed along to one person at a time, transfer by any form of DNA being ingested, and can only be given to another person if the current bearer intends willingly to pass it down to another for this Quirk could not be stolen nor be forcibly taken by any means.

Not long after that, Izuku had managed to get into UA, albeit with much difficulty as he did not activate is quirk until during the zero pointer appearing in exam and got in pridominantly by rescue points, and since then he has grown a lot not just physically but in other aspects as well, working his hardest to master the quirk to make it his own, eventually figuring out a way on how he can use it without hurting himself after alot of trial and errors, exceeding her expectations and surprising her time and time again, yes no doubtedly she believed that this boy would one day become the hero he has always dreamed of becoming, that she made the right choice in choosing him as her successor. And the more that time pass with how much she had spent with him the more that she compelled herself to keep going, to keep living for him, to train him until he was ready, to try and take care of herself more and hopefully live until the day that Izuku would finally take her place as the new symbol of peace. To try and defy her fate that Nighteye had predicted.

And as each day passes, he had reminded her of what it means to be a hero, and what it takes to be one.

And so much has happened within that same year... including having to face All For One once again.

She could still recalled a shock that she felt when one of her dearest friend, a fellow police man with a strong lie detector quirk known only as Naomasa Tsukauchi, had told her of his findings after examination was done on the Nomu from the USJ incident realizing how it was possible for this creature to have multiple courts and who could have been responsible for creating it from mutating a human, as much as she wanted to deny it she knew that there was no other explanation for it besides this, this creature, mindless monster, was created by All For One. And the other Nomu that came after that one were all the same even though their appearance were similar but still different and their quirks were different they all still had the same trait in having multiple Quirks.

She still felt horrible for not being at the USJ sooner in the first place when the villains came, for not being there when the nomu attack Hosu during the hero killer stain incident, and she felt especially bad for not knowing what was happening at the training camp and not being there to stop the criminals before a handful of the students got hurt in some way, were frightened from that for those who were still conscious and unharmed for the most part (As Izuku really did a number on his arms this time as he was the only one who had any really serious injuries, some of the students only had some minor cuts while some still were affected by the poisonous gas and were unconscious for a while), having to face the villains all by themselves, losing one of their classmates in the process, Katsuki Bakugo.

Were not for Yaoyorozu and Awase placing the tracking device on the Nomu, the heroes would have never found the villains hideout and the nomu factory in the first place after a few days of searching.

That Night... that very night which felt like one of the longest nights of her life, really was a pretty earth-shaking fiasco... battle... for her...

Due to the injuries that she had inflicted on him in the past, All For One had to wear a special life-supporting mask just do keep him alive, having to use a handful of quirks just so that he can see the world around him as he didn't have any visible eyes anymore, still that did not change the fact that All For One was still a very powerful opponent for her to battle.

Though she could not really fight in her full power as Bakugo was still in the area, while fighting her enemy she tried so desperately to get the boy out of there before he got hurt or worse only to be stopped by All For One. And even though she was disappointed that Izuku, as well as Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Kirishima and Iida, got involved in this extremely dire situation, she was still glad nonetheless that they all got Bakugo out of there without getting involved in a fight nor getting badly hurt in the process, now that the children were out of the way she could use her full power without holding back, though sort of as she knew that there were people still a far around her that got hurt and were facing a troubling situation already as the heroes in the other areas were trying to keep the situation under control and get everybody out so that no further harm could befall them then what was already done by this criminal she was facing.

She hated him and he hated her. He called her the bad guy a reccount the times he had been twarted by her, her fists took each of his comrades down one after another forcing some to hide in the shadows and how high is she sat upon her a pedal stool (so to speak) acting like little miss perfect and all that as she stood as the symbol of peace mounting on the defeats and him and his lackeys, but she knew better as he was nothing but a manipulative monster. He even mocked her for not using her complete and total full power because doing so would endanger the people a little far away from them who were going through a crisis already because of the blasts from All For One's attacks.

"You shut up! Always toying with people, probing on their weaknesses, you steal, break them, manipulate and disgard them, you scoff at people who are just trying to lead happy lives," She said to him in deep hatred, anger, and disgust, pointing out all of the things he does to innocent people, "It cannot continue, I WON'T LET IT!!"

With another she punched his mask so hard the top part of it broke off as the punch sent him down as he lay down his back, head in a small crator with her fist still on his face as she panted, some steam coming off of her as she reached her limit as half of her face reverted back to her original form while the rest form was still in her muscle form, faintly she heard Gran Torino, who got used as a human shield by All For One and took a huge punch from her though he knew that it was not intentional and got saved by her before she used a powerful attack only a minute ago, saying "Toshinori... you've reached your limit..."

It was then that the villain, whose voice never wavered from that calm yet still inflictive nerve-wracking and manipulative tone, spoke as this startled her, "What's wrong? You seem to be worked up about something All Might, I've heard that same exact line before you know," Chuckling darkly as The Hero felt her heart skip a beat, "From the person who had One For All before you.. Nana Shimura. You have so much in common with her, the pathetic waste of a hero who beared One For All before you.."

Flash backs of her mentor, how she was kind, caring, fought against evil with a calming and victorious smile on her face, of the times they spent together. Her anger at her mentor's murderer deepen in an effort to hide her tears hiding in the dark shadows of her eyes, She told him, "My Teacher... My mother, had a heart of gold, she was a true hero... Keep her name out of your filthy mouth!!"

But the villain didn't stop as he continues, "A woman with no skill and Grand ideas she could have looked up to, how embarrassing for me the creator of One For All to see her inherit the power, the way she died was so pathetic, would you like me to tell you all about it?"

"ENOUGH!!!!" She snapped as she was about to punch him again to make him shut up, only for her to get blasted by another gale force winds Canon punch from him while she was distracted for that moment as she almost crashed into a new helicopter were not for Gran Torino catching her before that.

He told her not to let herself get overworked by his words as this was exactly what she did that led to her getting severely injured by him 6 years ago and this monster escaping, she needed to focus, that they had to end this quickly before anybody else got hurt or worse, to go beyond her limit that she's already reached as this was do or die. She agreed after couching a bit of blood, still panting as she was doing all she could to stay in her muscle form and fight even as the embers inside her grew weaker with each passing second.

As All For One was about to unleash another attack, from her position, Toshinori realize that there was an injured civilian hiding in the rubble just a little ways behind her and if she dodged then the civilian would be killed, as the attack came she blocked the attack thus the civilian wasn't killed... but the attack was a bit more powerful than the other ones as it was enough to reveal her true form as her muscle form had faded as the dust settled.

With the news helicopter flying overhead she knew that everyone all around Japan and possibly the world was seeing this, seeing their symbol peace replaced with a woman who looked close to being a skeleton, while she knew but hoped something like this would not happen, her true form being revealed, she didn't think it would happen in this fashion.

Despite her enemy mocking her again, taunting her, having hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, calling her a skeleton, a hollow women, calling her weak, Despite him having revealed her true form to everyone watching right then and there, Despite The Weakened state she's in even as her body grows frail, even though he has revealed her true form, she declared that she would never give up despite what had happened, that in her heart she remains as the symbol of peace, and that there was nothing he could do to take that away from her.

But what Happened after she said that shook her ro her core: "Is that so? Oh well, I've forgotten how stubborn you are, I guess I'll just give up...Oh! But there is one thing i think you might like to know, Tomura Shiguraki, my apprentice, he's Nana Shimura's grandson."

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that, shock and horror flowed through her as she felt blood wanting to come spitting out of her mouth again.

'No... it... it can be true...' She thought to herself in shock as he continues, saying he was wondering what would annihilate her golden heart, so he found Tomura, groomed him to hate her, and watched as she smiled proudly as she beat her master's descendant.

"...Thats a lie!" She said in denial, this can't be true, it just couldn't... but All For One...

"Oh come now, You know its the truth! That is clearly something i would do." He pointed out.

...All For One may be a monster, but he told the truth... this is indeed something he would do...

"Well, well, that's strange All Might, where is your smile now?" he mocked, making a motion on his face with his hands to make a big grinning smile on his face as he laughed darkly.

Nana's words came to her mind from something she said to her in the past as the shock never left her as she started to twitch from it:

"If you have to save someone it means they've gone through something terrifying, they'll be frightened, remember that real heroes don't just save life's, they save a persons heart too. You know what I think? No matter how scared you are, you should smile to show that things will be okay, in this world, the ones always smiling are the ones who are the strongest."

"You ... monster..." she uttered in a whisper, horror, hate and guilt was present in her tone as her gaze didn't leave All For Ones none visible one as the mad man chuckled say:

"Well what do you know, it seems like i did take a piece of you after all."

So many feeling spirals inside her as more of reality came crashing don't on her as her voice broke as she then said, almost tearfully:

"He's my masters... my mother's grandchild... oh no what would she say if she knew how her turned out... what have I done?!"

She let out a loud wailing scream as tears started to come down her face, her head hung down in defeat, a feeling that she at that moment, crushing and painful, she felt like for the first time... she really did lose to this monster, that she had truly lost the battle, heartbroken, upset, guilt ridden, grief, horror, despairing, sorrowful, anger, regret, you name it as it came pouring out there...

How could she call herself a hero after knowing the truth and knowing what she had done?

As this went on, All For One laughed again but this time triumphantly, seeing her like this was exactly what he had hope to witness after so much toil and trouble she had caused him never letting herself reveal such emotions to him nor anyone, that her smiling mask has finally shattered revealing her broken expression with her battered up body, reveling in her distraughted state.

"Don't l-lose..." She could hear a weak, pained but determined voice of the women whom she defended from the blast a while ago, amidst her tears and her state as her ears apparently were still working in her current state, "Keep going... All Might... We need you!"

Soon after she heard more voices from a distance to back the woman up as they encouraged her to keep fighting, to not give up, they were counting on her, Soon she imagine everyone else around the world watching all of this cheering her her, calling out her name, despite being scared and desperate and upset, they cheered her on determind, hoping to give her hope through that like how she had for them.

Which really did happen as everyone around the world who was watching this cheered her on.

Millions of people who look up to her, loved her, see her as their (female) #1 hero, cheering her on to end this nightmare and win, to not give up... she remembered that, realization hitting her as two voices called out amongst the crowds, whether she was imagining them or not, she knew that they, Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, were counting on her and will cheer on til the end like everyone else.

I.M: "WIN THIS!!"

K.B: "BEAT HIM!!"

BOTH: "COME ON ALL MIGHT!!!!!"

"Fear not miss..." she assured the woman behind her, new determination came into her voice dispelling the other emotions from before as she felt One For All corse through her veins as she channels what remains she has into her right arm as only it turned super muscular like if she were in muscle form while the rest of her still remains in her true form, turning her gaze from the ground back to her opponent who was slightly started (surprise actually), raising a not visible brow at this as new determination and revived dive made it presence known as she declared with a smile now back on her face: "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!!"

'I must remember... where i started... my origin..' She thought to herself as another memory of Nana appeared in her mind as she remembers her telling her this: "Toshinori ... when you think you can't go on anymore, look inside. Remember why it is that you clench your fist... your past, remember where you came from, keeping your origin in mind will help push you past your limit." 'My origin... of course..' Toshinori thought as she remembers what she told Nana that day when they first met, about how she wanted to make a world where everybody can live happily in peace with smile on their faces, and for that the people needed a symbol of peace to look up to as the reason why crime was on the rise was because people didn't have anyone to look up to to give them assurance and Hope, which was why she wanted to be the person/pillar that can shine a light on their dark days.

So much ensued after that, her enemy taunting her, All For One saying how he still had nightmares of her charging at him with her entrails spewed across the ground before he tried to attack but instead used his attack to deflet Endeavor's flames as the other pros came on the scene seeing her weak form but still encouraged her to keep fighting while they took care of getting other people civilian and pro's out of there and and for her to show the world why she is the number one hero and that she is still the people's symbol of peace (even Endeavor of all people encouraged and cheered her on... in his own hot tempered way) cheering her on just as everybody else did as she their hero had inspired them all for so long and now it was their time to cheer her on inspire her through their cheers and cries to keep fighting no matter what before the villain knocked the pro heroes back with another shockwave of wind, All For One using a mass amount of quirks and channeling it all into his right arm to create an amalgamation arm with the ultimate combination of a good handful of many of quirks he had stolen over the years as he was going to use his creation to finally annihilate her whereas the other shockwaves he had launched before were only to weaken her and wear her out as he knew that it would take a lot more than that to finally destroy her, him revealing to her of his deduction after the first blasts earlier that the true One For All was no longer dwelling inside her as what she had was only the lingering embers of what was left over from after she had transferred it to someone and that now those embers were but feeble Sparks ready to put themselves out of the more she use them, to what he had said after that:

"Izuku Midoriya, he's the child you passed One For All to isn't he, I no doubtibly believe that he came here without your asking, you have no control of him do you? It sounds as though you'll die full of regrets All Might, as a hero and as a teacher!!"

This shocked, worried her but in the end angered her and only made her more determined to stop him for good this time.

Needless to say and obviously it was very strenuous and bloody for her as both of their attacks collided with his pushing her back with the forceful power of his fist along with one of his quirks "Impact recoil" giving him an edge again causing her arm to bleed and shoot out of it even as she forced One-For-All to continue coursing through her arm and repair itself despite the blood shooting out of it here and there.

She had then said to him getting his attention again:

"You're right... as his teacher I should have reprimanded him for coming here, I've failed, which is why I have to make it up to him!!"

"I see" He replied, "The weak embers inside of you are resisting, trying to rekindle some of your former strength, A desperate attempt trying to rage against the inevitable, and fulfill your duty, BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH!!"

He declared as the attack continued, Toshinori not giving up and not letting her fist down even as more blood came shooting out of her arm and she started coughing some blood out again, she refused to back down despite the odds.

Remembering Nana's words once more, she went from flying to literally putting her foot down keeping herself grounded as best as she could and push back against his fist more, adrenaline coursing through her at intense level as it was because of it that just about to probably have for the pain was dulled though still feeling it but trying to push it back and focus on what was happening right now as she declared:

"I'll beat you, and not because I am a symbol, but I will do as what my master and mother did for me... until I finish training Young Midoriya, until he is ready..."

AFO: "Its pathetic how much you are resisting."

"I cannot... I won't.." She started as she switched the power from her right arm to her left arm at the last second.

AFO: "Perhaps i was wrong."

"I REFUSE TO DIE!!!!!" She declare fully as she punched him with a mighty blow to the side of his face with her left fist while leaving her right arm as a decoy for his attack as it got hit and look like a broken, mangled, bloody mess from it as she recalled her other mentor's (Gran Torino's) words, "You won't be able to stop him head-on, use your wits!"

"A clever move there, that's so unlike you, BUT IT'S STILL WEAK THOUGH!!" He pointed out as he charged his other arm to use to attack her, only to make a huge fatal mistake as the power left her left arm, leaving him stunned as she declared as she Drew back her broken mangled right arm as blood seeped out of it and the arm itself was a sickly purple color, "That because I DIDN'T PUT MY BACK INTO IT THAT TIME!!"

Nana's words came to her one last time during that as she recalled her saying as she remembered her image all too well:

" This power has been passed on from hero to hero, each one with hope to bring back peace and joy to humanity, that One For All will give the world hope... and now it is your turn, do your best Toshinori."

In her mind she had handed her a glowing colorful sphere (Though in the actual memory she was handing her a lock of her hair for her to eat in order to get the quirk, but still), she accepted it as in reality her mangled hand turn into a fist as the power came flooding back into her right arm again both repairing the damage that was done to it, bulking it up once more and supercharging her arm as the glowing bright white light came out of her fist as she charged at All For One who because of his mistake was left wide open for her to make the final attack as he can only gasp in Surprise (shock actually) unable to avoid it.

'Goodbye... All For One!' she declared in her mind as her fist made contact with his face unleashing her final and most powerful attack of all as she exclaimed:

"UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!!"

As her enemy hit the ground the forced her attack caused a giant tornado to form as the force not only pushed back many of the pros and the news helicopter back also attracted much debris sending it flying circling around it from the force of the attack, it going for a few moments before it dissipated sending the debris flying back down to the ground thankfully not hitting anyone in the process and nobody getting hurt from that as far as everybody knew.

As the tornado dissipated are mind she thought with a weak and sadden tone, 'Goodbye... One For All...'

As the dust finally settled silence befell the entire battlefield as well as where everybody else was around the world who were watching, Toshinori panting, staring down at her opponent who didn't move nor even budged even an inch except for the breathing indicating that he was alive but also confirming after a few moments that he was knocked out and was not going to get back up again anytime soon.

She... had won... at long last, against him, against all odds, she came out victorious as she slowly raised her left arm up, her fist still a fist as she raised it high in the air before it turned into the muscle form of her alternative form before she changed back into her All Might form as she could hear one of the news men shouting in joy and relief from with a megaphone as the news still broadcast all of this as she nearly lost balance and fell but kept herself up despite the obvious exhaustion and pain:

"ALL MIGHT WINS!! THE VILLAIN IS NOT MOVING, HE'S DOWN, ALL MIGHT STANDS VICTORIOUS! SHE SAVED US YET AGAIN!!"

Even as she can feel steam coming off for body as she was barely able to hold her muscle form for much longer, even though she knew she should not push herself right now, she still smiled just as she always had albeit in exhaustion and pain but her smile nonetheless shown the same hope that she always had shown as she could still hear the crowds cheering her crying out in her raised in her eyes in relief and Joy that the nightmare was finally over.

Besides, she had one last task to perform before going straight to the hospital obviously.

As Dawn was on the horizon as the skies change from dark and blackish blue to a bright lavender turning light blue color, a clear indication that it was early morning and that many people including a the pros especially have been awake the entire night without even getting his a hint of shut-eye, rescue operations ensued as many of the pros around the area help people out of rubble in ruined buildings that they were still trapped or hiding in from all of the disaster that have been happening and getting all the people who were severely injured to a hospital and those who only sustained minor injuries to be patched up as there were many casualties (but thankfully no fatalities) and people to help and not to mention a lot of places to clean up and repair from the fight that happened within the night, the news was on the scene broadcasting it all before their gaze was turned to All For One who was in heavy restraints and being led by about a dozen police men into the iron maiden which would send them straight to Tartarus prison as several pro heroes as several pro heroes including Toshinori were on the scene to ensure he didn't do anything funny during the transfer into the iron maiden and eventually to the prison.

Upon seeing them turned in her direction, she coughed a bit of blood before she pointed her left index finger behind her, not looking back at the camera as this action caused the news people to go silent wondering what she would do, Toshinori knew that her successor had to be watching this right now as she gave him a short message, one that only he (as he was a very smart and bright teen) was able to decipher while it would mean something else to everyone else who was watching even if that message everyone else saw was true:

"Now... Now, its your turn.."

To everyone else it was meant for other criminals out there, a warning that the symbol of peace had endured... But to Izuku, it was the complete opposite as he knew what she truly meant:

"I've used up everything inside of me, now... it's your turn... Izuku midoriya."

Toshinori knew that he, the sensitive, Fanboy, smart but a crybaby of a teen who was just as kind and determined as she was if not more to become a hero, had to be crying right now as she can only imagine him tearing up at this very moment, which was true as unlike all the other times the boy was in tears of understanding but pain, grief and sorrow and started to sob before crying as he tried to wipe away the tears just would not stop falling down fron his eyes. It pained her to do that, knowing that she was putting far more responsibility on his shoulders than what he already had to deal with from this, even though he had the potential to become a wonderful hero she knew that he was still a teenager and a first year at high School who had been through so much danger that no teen his age should have to face early but cannot be helped with the league of villains attacking him and his classmates because of her, as much as she wanted to bare the burden little while longer for his sake... she knew that it was not an option anymore knowing her condition and everything that happened only recently, she had no choice but to go into retirement and hand the mantle down to her successor who would One day become a pro hero... though she was unable to be the symbol of peace anymore, that did not mean that she could not be his teacher anymore, she would continue to teach him at UA along with the next generation of heroes until the day that he was ready...

Those were her last thoughts before she finally succumbed to exhaustion and pain she had been ignoring and pushed back by her will and the adrenaline that had been pumping through her system for so long during that whole fiasco within the night as collapsed from the spot she stood at as she found a pair of arms (most likely one of the pro heroes, probably Edgeshot as he was the closest to her at that time) catch her before everything went black.

She has been out for half a day as she woke up in the hospital, bandaged up head to toe, feeling kind of mummified as she wondered if Aizawa had felt like this after the usj attack, her entire left arm was bandaged up, there were bandages around her forehead, her torso she could feel bandages around there along with bandages around her feet and knees, the only part of her body that was more heavily bandaged was her right arm as it was in a heavy cast along with being in a sling as it had been more damaged than all the other parts of your body as it took on so much pain, the most of it, and most of the blows that All For One had dealt on her, even with her Quirk giving her a bit of a recovery during the whole thing from time to time her arm still practically blew up here and there from being hit with a lot of force from that amalgamated arm that All For One threw at her as she recalled a lot of blood spewing out of it during that final battle.

Miraculously and thankfully she was still alive despite all that had happened to her.

According to the doctor, who came in around the time she had woken up to check on her and helped her to sit up as she could barely do it by herself without feeling some strain, told her that despite the lacerations and injuries she had received and how much bloodshed lost, she would live and be able to leave the hospital by the late evening, but she would need to take it easy on herself for quite some time and work towards recovery, rest and rehabilitation until she had fully recovered, advising her to see a doctor and recovery girl each day to have her wounds treated bit by bit as all of her injuries could not be healed at once because of her condition and would need time to heal more and to make sure that there was nothing else wrong with her, forbidding her from doing anything excessive and strenuous that would reopen her injuries and worsen her condition.

After she accepted and thanked the doctor, the doctor then thanked her for everything she had done, how much he and no doubtibly everybody appreciated her for all she had done for each one of them, that words cannot describe it, that after everything she had done she deserve to rest in retirement after having done so much for everybody through several past decades, and that now he and the others in the hospital in their way could finally return the favor to her after all the help that she had done for everyone and them for a change, and that by the time she leaves the hospital she would not need to worry about paying the hospital bill as it would be paid for her by everybody as their token of gratitude to her as that surprised her but the same time she appreciate it.

This was before Gran Torino (in normal clothes for a change) and Tsukauchi came into talk to her, the doctor having left to let the trio talk upon being politely asked to after he finished doing a check up on her.

They talked a while, she telling them about what I transpire in the bar and on the battlefield and what she had learned before finishing off All For One, and that the last embers of her quirk have faded and that the symbol of peace was no more but even still she still had so many important things she needed to do. Finding Shiguraki. When Tsukauchi ask the two of them if they had any interaction with Nana's family at all, Gran Torino said no, explaining that after her husband was killed Nana put her child in foster care to shield him from the dangers of the hero world and away from any enemies she had that might come after him and told the two of them that she didn't want either of them to have any contact with him even if something horrible were to happen to her, Though it seemed like it didn't work out well seeing the results of this.

Though they did know what happened to her son or to his family, but they do know where her grandson ended up, how it happened was anyone's guess.

Toshinori wanted to go after him and find him, but Gran Torino told her no, he forbid her from doing that, now that she knew the truth she could not see the shiguraki as a criminal anymore, to go look for him was dangerous and suicidal now that she was unable to be a hero anymore and was rendered now a local civilian and teacher, no matter what his lineage is he's still a criminal through and through. Her former teacher (he took over the rest of her training after Nana died, being a teacher at UA at one point for only a whole year many years back for that purpose) told her to focus on recovering and teaching the next generation of heroes at UA and let him and Tsukauchi take care of finding shigaraki and the league of villains, and that even though that she could not be All Might anymore she was still All Might on the inside.

After she got out of the hospital later that evening she texted her successor telling him to meet her on the beach (in Musatafu where they both lived in), when he had arrived she first gave him a hard punch on the cheek (saying texas smash), a way of her telling him 'You idiot, what were you thinking?!' before she said as he fell on his rear:

"You made a promise, but as it turns out you're not good at keeping your word, seriously if you all have been injured it would have all been in vain, you have some bad influences..." As Izuku look down sadly, knowing that what he had done was completely foolish even if it was to save his classmate, knowing the dangers of the situation yet he had put himself and the others in by just coming to save Bakugo, he knew he deserved to be scolded, then Toshinori said, "Young Midoriya, listen, I'm officially retired as a pro Hero, it's clear that my body isn't going to let me fight another battle..." Before transforming into a muscle form throwing only a few punches before she suddenly returned back to her true form spitting out blood again freaking her successor out there, "The last sparks of One for all have left my body... and my muscle form will not hold for any real significant amount of time..." Lowering her fist she continues, scolding him sternly and with frustration as Izuku was close to tears, "I can't protect you now when you put yourself in danger, and you're always running into trouble trying to help no matter what I tell you, destroying your body over and over, practically killing yourself when you overuse your quirk and even with good intentions you're completely reckless!! Yet back there you manage to-!"

Izuku flinched, closing his eyes a waiting for her to punish him or finished her sentence, but what she said next surprised him as he opened his eyes when he felt her holding him close in a one-armed hug as she crouched down in front of him, her bandaged up hand comb through his curly hair, speaking like a happy, relieved and proud mother, "Rescued your friend, without getting injured or getting involved in a fight and getting out of there as quickly as possible, I'm so proud of you!"

She then told him, "From here on out, I will devote myself to raising you, you're stuck with me, so let's continue to work our best."

Touched, happy and overwhelmed, Izuku let his tears fall as he replied with a broken voice, "Thank you... nothing would make me happier, All Might." Solding his teasingly, Toshinori said as she did something that he had not expected at all, feeling something wet drip on his back as he realized that she was crying too, "what did I say about keeping your word little crybaby, *Sniffing* I thought we'd agreed that you stop it with the waterworks..." (says you All Might, you're crying too!!) Before Izuku cried heavily as he buried his face into her shoulder where her heart was, sitting there in silence with nothing but the crying eyes of the boy being heard on that beach as the moon cast its light as Izuku only feel a small Sting from the punch she threw at him, knowing that this really was the end of the reign of All Might.

What transpired so after was still a a roller coaster of a doozy after the now-retired hero held one last conference with the media, UA started up a dormitory system in order to ease the concern of the public and to keep the children safe, for the teachers who were pros did a lot of convincing to the parents that they would keep the children safe and that it would push even harder to not let their mistakes repeat And help them to work towards their dreams.

The most heartbreaking was when Toshinori came to visit the midoriya residence, Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mom, was not going to allow it, shocking her son. Saying that she could not stand seeing her son getting hurt constantly because of him not being able to control his Quirk because his teachers weren't doing a good job and because of all that transpired recently, that if he continued to follow her path he would only be met with blood and violence even though as a civilian she was grateful for all she had done for society and for stopping All For One before he could cause more harm then what was already done Inko herself was still a mother and she was terrified and now has to put her foot down for her son's health and safety, she apologized as she stated that even though he wants to go to UA her heart could not take it any longer, just because she was a great hero it doesn't alter the fact that her son kept getting hurt constantly, just because she was supporting Izuku it did not mean that she would not worry and now she didn't have the nerves to entrust her son to the school anymore, even though her son tried to convince her otherwise saying that it was his own fault that he kept getting hurt as he didn't listen to the teachers, Inko countered saying that wouldn't it be the teacher's fault if he didn't listen to them and didn't learn and try hard enough to teach him and protect him, her son had been hurt more than enough in short span of time since starting the school year and she believed that it would be better if he was transferred to another school as there is a lot more hero programs out there than just one at UA. This cause her son to run out of the room only to return not even a minute later with a letter in his hands he got at the hospital telling her that It didn't have to be UA as he showed her and his mentor a letter that was given to him by a little boy that he had saved at the training camp, Kota, telling him thanks for seeing him and calling him his hero, he knew he was hopeless and worried his mother a lot but for a moment after he read the letter he felt so happy and made him feel like a real hero, that he knew what he was going to be and that's what he was going to stride for, weather at UA or not, he promised as he wasn't against what his mother was saying despite what he said earlier as he understood what she was feeling but would continue to follow the path of a hero whether he was still attending UA or not.

This inspired Toshinori yet again as she realized as she shifted into her muscle form catching the others attention, that he was not just a young hero following in her footsteps, he was on his own path to achieving his dream, and she wanted to walk beside him to help him reach his goal, she smiled proudly as she turned to face both the mother in the son, let her head fall as her gaze was toward the ground (partial in shame, other than guilt, being serious even though she didn't think she can meet the worrying mother's eyes) as she then apologized, that she haven't been up front with her and told her that she believed that Izuku is right person to succeed her as she chose him to be her successor.

When Inko asked her what she was talking about, Toshinori explained that she was apologizing as the one who held the title for not giving her all as his teacher like she should have but instead allowed herself to remain as his hero (heroine technically), for not trying harder to teach him how to control his quirk more properly to avoid getting badly hurt, as a UA teacher she asked Inko to forgive her for her past weakness as she returned back to her true form and continues, while true her path had been filled with blood this makes her to right candidate to teach her son so he could be free from making the same mistakes she made as a young hero and help him find his own way, to look not at the current UA but toward the future as the other heroes at UA know that things cannot continue as they have been and that they are committed to ensuring the safety of all their students from here on out, that its their top priority.

"Will you allow me to devote myself to young Izuku? Together we will go beyond and we'll lift him up... And I Will protect your son, even if it costs me my life!!"

Toshinori had poured her heart to Inko as this caused the green haired and eyed women to fall on her knees in overwhelming shock, awe, touched by this.

"Are you okay?!" Izuku asked her, worried. But Inko didn't answer him as she looked up to look at All Might.

"I can't.. i mean .." Inko started, "... You're Izuku's reason to be a hero, to be someone to save others with a smile... to live, despite the pain he faces..." This causes Toshinori to look up as their eyes met, stunned, as Inko continued, "Its not that a hate you or UA... its just.. I Izuku to be safe and happy... All Might, don't give up your life. He needs you, to protect him, raise him... Its obvious... that you care about him like he were your child... and he sees you are another mother to him.. so you have to be there for him when I can't... if you can promise me that then he can return to UA."

Her words rang true there, about Toshinori being a mother Izuku and he a son to her, without being said aloud it was quite clear to the two that they saw each other as more than just having a mentor student relationship, more than friends. When and how it transcend from mentor student bond to mother and son Bond? Neither of them knew but nonetheless they had no regrets on that.

Toshinori never had a family before as she never married nor had children of her own, due to her being the number one hero or rather now the former number 1 hero it would be too risky knowing if anybody knew then villains all around would find them to hurt her in the the process, so she never knew what it was like to be a mother up until she met Izuku a little over a year ago, the boy who is much like her back when she was his age though it was obvious he has a stronger sense of justice and determination to save people then she did, to her Izuku was like the son that she never had. Everyday she never regret ever meeting him and choosing him as her successor, having him as a son to her made her happy.

And yes indeed Izuku saw All Might as another mother to him when his own wasn't around in situations such as when he is at UA or when villains attack, supportive, kind, loving, always there for him, wise even though she was still rather a rookie when it comes to teaching in high school. She was also very motherly to him as she was to the other students in 1A. There was no favoritism between the two, honestly, because Izuku loved both his real mother and his surrogate mother immensely.

"Oh mom..." Izuku whispered, touched, voice broken as relief flooded his system as tears came forth.

Touched, stunned, relieved, in tears unable to stop them, Toshinori lowered herself off the chair, sitting on her legs as Inko did as she took her hands into her own as she earnestly and sincerely stated, "I promise... You have my word Mrs. Midoriya."

Inko nodded to the woman who clearly had much admiration towards her son as he did towards her before Inko told her son, "Izuku, if you're going back to the school, you need to be so careful."

Wiping his tears away, he promised, "Of course! I won't make you worry!"

"Miss All Might, please, take good care of him for me." She asked her as she replied, "I will."

So much had happened not long after students and faculty were moved into dormitories, from creating special moves to getting the professional licenses, from speaking with All For One in jail to talking to Bakugo who had came to realize the truth and was now another person that she could trust with her secret as with the others who already know it, from starting the next semester in the school year to the next set of internships the students would undertake now that they can work as semi-pros only for emergencies, from the events involving Eri, Kai Chisaki/Overhaul and the quirk destroying bullets to Sir Nighteyes death and Mirio being rendered quirkless during the incident that lead to Eri being rescued and Overhaul's defeat, the retake for the provisional license test to talking with Endeavor about what he's doing wrong as the new number one hero to the cultural festival and Endeavor defeating that high-end Nomu and started to make changes so that he can fix what he had broken within his family, from Izuku having the dream about the previous holders of One For All to him gaining a new quirk from it the next day during the challenge between class 1a and 1B.

So many things happened that it's still hard to believe that it hasn't even been a year yet since the school year started.

Still there are villains out there who will stop at nothing to take down the heroes, but at the same time that will not stop the heroes from stopping the villains no matter the cost.

Things sitting down for a while after the test between class 1a and 1B, and everybody was enjoying the peace while they could because, given how things have been within this year, you never know when trouble is going to spring it's ugly head at them and cause mayhem again, and I'm not just talking about the crooks here and there in the street, but I'm talking about something big and chaotic.

Which did arose around the beginning of the second school year for everyone at UA.

It was the end of the first day when the news came to everyone which made their blood ran cold and horror rattled within them, especially for Toshinori... when the unthinkable happened...

All For One had escaped from jail.

The incident happened around an hour before the school day ended, all the electronics and electricity monitoring the man in every way, alarms and even the guns aiming at All For One's cell had all suddenly gone out without warning and the guards monitoring him had been killed before they could alert anybody through being viciously split into pieces by the use of a quirk before he was suddenly gone without a trace nor any trace of what could have caused all of the equipment to suddenly shut down.

It had to be the league of villains, seeing as he was the leader of them and the one who was mentoring Shiguraki, given the lack of evidence and the way that the guards have been killed a warping Quirk had to have been involved after everything had been shut down around that area.

Kurogiri was the only one besides all for one who had a warping.

Also they must have had a brilliant hacker who was able to disable all of the electric devices and the gun system flawlessly without leaving a trace to trail back after.

Some of the guards, those who are female in particular, even had some puncture wounds that look like they've been made from a needle, upon further examination, a syringe to be exact, and it look like they were made before they have been savagely killed, looking back at each member of the league of villains there was only one person who would have suck a syringe in each of the female guards bodies for a reason, and that reason being getting each of their blood samples, Himeko Toga, who quirk had the ability to let her transform into anybody upon ingesting their blood, and only able to transform into those that were of her gender.

And sadly, and as it was to be expected, fear had spread throughout the community when it reached the news, leaving everyone on edge, shaky, cautious, very worried and wary, paranoid and obviously fearful knowing that The most powerful villain in the whole world was now out of prison and free to do as he pleased, who knows when he may appear and will try to steal other people's quirks with that powerful and terrifying Quirk of his and cause mayhem again. Many people could not even sleep at night without either getting nightmares about the Camino war incident resurfacing in their minds only it ending worse then what really happened, or laying awake at night in fear of falling asleep and then All For One appearing in their rooms to get them.

But Toshinori knew her enemy better than most people, given his condition he was not going to be attacking All too soon knowing that he will need time to recover although that will not stop him from sending his villains to do his dirty work for him.

Every single hero, both pro Hero and semi-pros even, were on high alert to be on the lookout for the leader if he should ever appear again along with his league of villains, although the semi-pros were given more caution given their young age and not being true pros yet, the semi's were told that if they saw the villains they were to contact authorities immediately and not to engage the enemy unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, that was when the strangest thing happened, or rather, didn't happened and that left everyone scratching their heads at it... neither the leader nor his villains had appeared since the prison escape.

Why? No one knew.

And they didn't appear for almost 2 years after that incident.

The only kind of Villains that appeared were either already common crooks or new villains making their debut or coming to light from the shadows they hid in, weather very powerful or rather mediocre. But none of them were associated with the league of villains.

No one has seen any of their intended perpetrators in so long, neither civilian, policeman, heroes, Semi's, no one. No activity, to disturbence, no nothing from them at all.

After waiting for so long, most of everybody had assume that the league of villains had given up, after seeing how much effort and determination all the heroes were putting into finding them no matter what in order to defeat them they all thought that they got scared and faded into the shadows never to come out.

But... not everybody believed that as there was some such as Toshinori who believed that they were still out there, especially HE, just laying in wait, waiting for the perfect moment to spring out and attack.

Though she cherished the peace that she had, and knew when to relax, happy as a bachelorette though midnight tries to get her to go find someone to love and spend the rest of her life with which Toshinori declines as she had long since accepted that she would be single forever, ... Though a part of her really wanted to believe that the league really was gone and they were not coming back, the other part knew otherwise and she couldn't help but be tad bit paranoid and cautious, and who could blame her? Even though she was a retired hero, a high school teacher working to be a Natural born hero to her students rather than the symbol of peace (the title that she formerly held) teaching the next generation of heroes, after so many years of hero work the old itch still acts up here and there such as the gut feeling spiraling in her stomach, or where her stomach used to be as she lost it years ago during the fight with All For One, that something big was about to go down.

Little did she know that she was right, little did anybody for that matter knew about what was going to go down, what was about to take place, what will lead to the most shocking thing to happen next to All Might's true form being revealed and going into retirement after defeating the main villain, a new trial awaiting them, especially for the retired pro, that will lead to the greatest act of heroism... and making the most tear-inducing sacrifice ever.
