The final stretch. Also I'm procrastinating on working on school work so here's this chapter.
Ulttoanova: me too! She's my favorite of the female servants!
Frostlash: You'll see soon. As for my quirk, probably making people sleep, but it also works on me so I'd be constantly tired too. I kind am always tired anyway, so ahahaha. That or a mutation quirk with wings would be cool. Or you know. breaking my bones and then lighting up like a glow-stick. So many options to choose from.
The wind whistled in Astolfo's ears as he rode Hippogriff up the side of the tower. As soon as the system had been set back online, Gray had told him to get to Midoriya and Melissa. He would be the fastest, after all. He had agreed and taken off immediately after Chiron had assured them that he and the others were fine where they were.
The Rider urged the mythical beast to go faster as they flew, his lance already in hand.
"LET HIM GO!" Astolfo winced a bit, hearing Midoriya's shout. His heart twisted at the anguish in his classmate's words and Hippogriff flew faster.
"DON'T TAKE THE PROFESSOR! DAMMIT!"
Hippogriff screeched as something rocketed past them up the outer wall.
"Whoa- what was- Is that All Might!?" Astolfo cried as he shielded his face from the gust of wind and tugged on Hippogriff's reins to steady the beast. It only gave a disgruntled squawk in return.
"Don't you dare lose that smile! Alright, Young Midoriya?!" the Rider heard and he sighed.
Yeah, it was All Might.
"It's fine now! Do you know why?" the number one hero prompted and Astolfo landed on the roof, running over to Melissa. The blonde girl gave him a grateful look as he pulled her to her feet, brushing dirt from her face.
"BECAUSE I AM HERE!"
He turned, watching as All Might shot through the helicopter, breaking it in half. He grunted as he shielded his eyes from the explosion that followed.
"Holy cow," he uttered, grinning a bit as All Might landed next to them with the professor in his arms.
"Papa!" Melissa ran over to them and Astolfo and Midoriya joined her, Hippogriff trotting over as well.
"Everything will be okay," All Might said, still grinning.
"I'm so sorry…" The professor said weakly, glancing between All Might and Melissa.
"Don't be," Astolfo cut him off as he glanced over, "Save it for when you're safe."
"But, this was my—"
The professor was cut off as a metal pillar slammed into All Might, sending him flying.
"All Might!"
Astolfo lunged forwards, grabbing the professor and holding onto him as he leaped out of the way of another pillar. He held the man as he leaped and dodged wires and a third pillar before a fourth slammed into him. He felt his breath leave his lungs and his grip on the professor loosen as he was tossed into the air.
"Astolfo!" Midoriya cried and Melissa screamed as wires wrapped around David's torso. The man was jerked from his grasp with a cry of pain and engulfed inside of a Quirk-Made monstrosity.
He landed with a painful thud, groaning and feeling his side. His ribs were cracked again and he hauled himself to his feet, Hippogriff circling above him before landing with its wings splayed in a defensive way. Astolfo pat it, gasping to regain the breath he had lost.
"I heard Sam!" the villain crowed, "All Might's quirk is failing him! He doesn't have the same unstoppable power he once did!"
"He's using the professor's device," A voice said and Astolfo looked behind him at a familiar blonde's face.
"Sab— Musashi?" he gasped, "What are you doing here? The Grail War ended like, a week ago!"
"That's what I was told," she said, "I'll have to explain it later, but I'm not the same "Musashi" you knew about from the Grail War. Just like your Assassin friend, I'm a bit of an abnormality. I was suddenly transported here and was sitting back and observing everything since I didn't know what was going on. But… that redheaded prick, Wolfram, I think, he was gonna kill those kids. I just finished dealing with that guy's underling, we can talk later but the main issue is that ugly mug up there."
Astolfo nodded as he climbed onto Hippogriff, wincing a bit.
"You really don't know when to give up, do you!?" All Might barked and he looked over as the blonde hero shot towards the villain from where he had landed.
"Texas SMASH!"
The punch was fruitless, however, as a wall was erected in front of him. Astolfo nearly lost his footing, though, as the building shuddered underfoot.
"What the hell is this?" Astolfo yelped, he and Musashi leaping out of the way of flying debris. Metal and wiring rose up and was torn from the tower as Wolfram's Quirk reached new levels of power.
"Who knows, but who cares!" the Saber-Class Servant yelled as she slashed debris away from them, "That redhead is a bastard and he threatened some children! And no one has told me what is up with these people and their weird powers! I'm gonna take my frustration out on him!"
"Now, I think I know how I can raise the price of this device!" Wolfram declared as they dodged and destroyed debris. "I can charge whatever I want if it was used to kill the world's Number One Hero! I'll toss in these two students from U.A., the famed David Shield's daughter, and another small fry, too. Now die!"
Astolfo and Musashi were suddenly on the defensive as the two of them dodged attacks. Midoriya shot past them to rescue Melissa, who had been knocked into the air and All Might wasn't fairing much better with the onslaught of attacks. Musashi countered as many as she could, her swords flashing in the night as she broke, deflected, and dodged wires and pillars. Astolfo took to the skies to dodge before he noticed tons of pillars rocketing towards All Might.
"Hippogriff!" he called and the beast folded its wings in. They dove, rocketing towards All Might and Astolfo's hand was outstretched. His palm connected with All Might and the force from him and Hippogriff all but rocketing into him sent the man out of the way.
"ASTOLFO!" Midoriya cried and the Rider only gave the boy a grin as the pillars neared. Ice suddenly coated the metal, freezing the pillars in their tracks. The pillars were easily shattered by a rain of arrows, both gold and blue.
Todoroki had arrived! With all the others too!
"GO TO HELL!"
"Looks like everyone's here," Astolfo said as Hippogriff circled above All Might. "Sorry about pushing you."
"Don't be, Young Astolfo," he said as the other students arrived on the roof. Musashi leaped down to join them, landing by Chiron who only raised a brow at her appearance.
"Iida, let's knock those hunks of metal right out of the sky," Kirishima growled, cracking his knuckles.
"Yaoyorozu, take care of things down here!" Iida added, following Chiron and Gray as they took off without so much of a word. Kirishima was right at his heels, Quirk activated. Astolfo gave All Might a grin before he and Hippogriff took off as well, joining Musashi in the air as the Saber scaled the pillars with ease.
All around them quirks went off and pillars exploded into debris. Gray was switching Add's forms with ease as she fought right next to Iida and Kirishima, Todoroki and Bakugou wiping out large amounts of pillars with determined looks on their faces. Chiron's arrows pierced and broke through pillars and debris as he took off across the roof. The speed that he was firing off arrows very akin to a machine gun that spit arrows rather than bullets. He was using more speed than he had with the robots, Astolfo noticed, watching the centaur easily navigate from one area to the other.
The students fought their hearts out as Gray crouched landed. She ducked under a pillar, sprinting between the carnage and deflecting others. She leaped up, using the oncoming pillars as platforms and running along them. Musashi ran next to her, deflecting pillars with a grin. She had only met the Saber once before, but Gray knew that the woman was living for the thrill of the fight going on.
She landed on a mountain of rubble, watching as All Might flew through the air, crashing and smashing through every pillar thrown his way. Musashi landed nearby and Chiron dropping down to a broken-off pillar not that far behind Gray. The Archer had resumed his human form in order to doge and scale the pillars with more ease. Astolfo flew above, eyes narrowed as they all watched the Symbol of Peace rear his fist back.
"Prepare yourself, villain!"
Astolfo's eyes widened and everything seemed to freeze as wires entangled All Might before he could land the punch.
He cracked Hippogriff's reins and the beast dove. He could see the other Servants taking off as well, the four of them rushing at All Might.
"Prepare myself'?" the redhead sneered as a pillar slammed into Musashi, sending her flying. Gray caught her by the arm before the two leaped out of the way of another pillar.
"Take your own advice! You've underestimated me!"
Astolfo and Hippogriff shot forwards with the other three Servants, Musashi's and Gray's blades raised to destroy the wires while Chiron's bow was level with the Villain. Astolfo had drawn his sword, also aiming for the wires, only for the four of them to be slammed into by another set of pillars.
Astolfo grabbed Gray as she was tossed close to him. He pulled her up onto Hippogriff with a grimace. The Phantasmal Beast rightened itself with a low screech and started to circle above. Musashi climbed out of a pile of rubble, blood dripping down her face from a cut above her eye. Chiron had landed on another broken off pilar, a bit bruised and seeming to be favoring three of his hooves over his back right one.
"Oh yes," the villain continued as he choked All Might, his other hand crushing his side. "While we were planning this little heist, I received an intriguing phone call from the man himself. He said he wanted to work with me to help, and I asked him why he'd bother, he was happy to explain his interests."
"All For One is behind this!?"
"What's the matter?" Wolfram taunted, "Looks like you finally stopped smiling!"
All Might's cry of outraged anguish echoed through the chaos and Asotlfo startled as a colorful blur shot past them. Musashi shot past All Might with her swords poised to kill the smirking villain before pillars slammed into her from all sides.
"Musashi!" Astolfo yelled before more and more cubes of debris slammed into All Might and Musashi from all sides. Hippogriff dove as a block of debris whizzed past his and Gray's heads.
"FAREWELL SYMBOL OF PEACE!" Wolfram crowed, "AND YOU MEDDLESOME WOMAN!"
He heard Gray gasp sharply as metal rods impaled both of the mounds of debris.
Time seemed to stop as Melissa screamed. Astolfo felt the weight of Gray shift before she leaped off of Hippogriff.
"Gray, wait—!" he cried before he noticed the golden glow in her palm.
"O ancient Mystery, I want to die. O sweet enigma, return all to nothing…" she murmured as she landed on a pillar.
"Oh? So this child wants to die too?" the villain snarled and pillars and debris were hurled at her. She moved on instinct as Add glowed, dodging and running along pillars.
"Second stage, limited release start." Add said and a golden light burst from her palm before a pillar slammed into her. She felt the air leave her lungs as she was slammed down. Her eyes only narrowed as metal spires rose up towards her.
The golden light died and Add was changed into a shield rather than becoming the Holy Lance. The metal glanced off of Add's form as Gray rolled out of the way.
"Go, MIDORIYA!" she cried and the green-haired boy let out a ferocious yell, leaping up from behind her and smashing through the debris that was crushing All Might. A violet light burst from the second section as Musashi broke free. Her eyes were blazing, more dangerous as she grinned viciously, landing on a pillar.
"I'll show you the true essence of the Five Rings!" She yelled before the air distorted and she brandished her swords. A rainbow light burst forth from her as the wind picked up. In a flash, a giant figure had appeared behind her. With four arms, each with a sword in hand, and red eyes glowing in the night, with teeth sharp and lips seemingly drawn into a permanent snarl, the Nio that appeared as a result of Musashi's Noble Phantasm was terrifying.
"Amen. I place my trust in Tenjin of the Tenman Shrine, the deity of absolute freedom. Nioh Kurikara, Shotenshou!" the Saber cried and the four massive swords the Nio wielded were swung down, each met with a pillar that was crushed in an instant. The phantasmal being vanished as a violet light burst from Musashi again. Instead of two blades, she held one in her hands and a pillar of violet light was condensed around it.
"Let's go, master's blade draw…Ishana Daitenshou!" she cried before she swung her blade down. Pillars and other creations of metal rose up to block the attack and Musashi grit her teeth, putting more pressure on her swing, starting to cleave into the protective barrier.
"Musashi is holding that guy off for as long as she can!" Chiron said as he dropped down by All Might and Midroiya. "It's your turn," he said and the two One for All users nodded, determined looks in their eyes.
"Right," Midoriya said, green energy crackling around him.
"Show that bastard what U.A. is made of!" Astolfo called down from Hippogriff's back, watching Musashi as she increased the pressure again. Gray deflected pillars from her with a grunt.
"Take this guy down!" she added.
"Roger that!" All Might said with a grin before he and Midoriya both took off.
"There's no way you can stop me. You're insignificant pests!" The villain roared, cubes of metal forming together and flying at the two. "AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LIE DOWN AND BE CRUSHED!"
"La Black Luna!"Astolfo cried, his horn activated and he blasted the cubes at full power. The sound waves from the terrifying noise comparable to Present Mic's as the cubes were pushed back and some were broken to pieces. Bakugou's palms flashed and the boy blasted the remaining cubes with his Quirk.
Gray shifted her footing as Musashi's Noble Phantasm ended, the blonde panting before she drew a second sword and she smashed through a pillar.
"Ball's in your court now, All Might!" the Saber yelled as the two shot past her and Gray. A large cube was thrown at Midoriya and All Might, though it shattered to pieces as the sky lit up and Chiron held his hand up to the sky, his Noble Phantasm having shot through it.
There was no need for words as the two continued forwards and Musashi grinned, hair whipping past as the sky lit up like the sun. All Might and Midoriya's voices reverberated through the night.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
The final blow to the villain and the structure made an impact like a city-killing asteroid, the shockwave rippling outwards and almost throwing them all off of their feet if they hadn't been expecting it. The entire building under them shuddered as dust and debris flew everywhere, but something caught her eye.
A third body sailing through the air.
She checked to make sure Gray was fine before she took off. The Saber dodged falling metal before she leaped up, catching the professor in her arms with ease.
"I've got ya," she said softly as she landed, holding him carefully. She startled slightly as All Might landed in front her.
"You've got Dave then, thank God," the number one hero said, though his voice was a bit different and he looked extremely beat up in comparison to before.
The man stirred in her arms, eyes opening slowly.
"All Might…" he mumbled, voice frail from the loss of blood.
"I came to save you, my friend," the number one hero said and Musashi felt herself smiling at the exchange.
"Thank you…"
"PAPA!" a voice yelled and the three turned, looking up and seeing three figures at the top of one of the massive piles of rubble. The green-haired, powerful kid (Mido-something, if she remembered correctly), a blonde girl (Melissa? That sounded right), and the famed Immortal Archer Chiron. Melissa was waving to them, smiling as Midoriya called something down to the other side of the rubble, most likely to his friends over there.
"If you want to thank anyone," she said, shaking her head, "You should thank those kids and Archer."
She gently set the man down, inspecting the wound on his shoulder before an explosion of steam covered the area. She startled, turning and staring at a skeletal form kneeling nearby.
"Holy fuck," she whispered, eyes wide before Chiron landed next to them.
"Save the gawking, Musashi," Chiron chuckled as the skeletal form of All Might coughed blood in surprise.
"Uh- how!? He was like all muscles and bam!-like but now he's like, if I look at him wrong he'll die!" she huffed.
"Hey, I resent that," the man grumbled and Chiron chuckled, stepping over and kneeling down by Dave. He inspected the wound as All Might hovered nearby.
"Anything you can do, Chiron?" he asked and Chiron hummed, taking Dave's wrist in hand and pressing his thumb to it.
"Aside from staunching the bleeding? I can do a little bit, but any more might give unintended after effects," he said, "The best bet would be to get him to a hospital. Luckily, it seems that the bullet shot right through."
Chiron shifted, pulling his tunic off and Musashi screamed softly, hiding her face as she felt heat rising to her cheeks.
"Ignore her," she heard the Archer sigh as he worked. "We're going to need to wrap that shoulder of yours, David."
She peered back out between her fingers after a few moments to see Dave (David? Which one was the truth, she didn't know. Maybe Dave was a nickname) with his shoulder wrapped and looking a bit uncomfortable.
Chiron was brushing dirt from her chest and she cleared her throat, smacking her cheeks. Sure the Archer was attractive (seriously, he wasn't overly muscular and he had a really nice face if she did say so herself), but she needed to get it in control. She sighed, feeling the heat subside as she glanced back over.
"I heard most of what happened from Melissa…" All Might said, his voice somber.
"It's all true…" David said, voice heavy with shame as he spoke. "I was so scared to lose your light… I was scared that the peace you built as a hero would fade away with you… But my ideas and that device… were nothing more than ways to maintain the status quo… to ensure that nothing would ever change…"
The man leaned forward, moving to stand and Chiron placed a hand on his back, helping him up carefully with All Might's help. Musashi stood after a bit, hair gently blowing in the breeze as the sun peaked over the horizon.
"...even though the future was standing right there in front of me the whole time…" David continued, gazing back up at the ridge to where Melissa and Midoriya were waving down to their friends. "I just didn't notice it. Look at those two... She wants to become my successor, you know that? And you have Izuku Midoriya. He'll take your place one day, too, won't he?"
"He still has a long way to go, but...in him shines the greatest potential among those who will become heroes..." All Might said softly.
A hero huh?
Musashi closed her eyes before she gazed up at the sky.
The memory of a redheaded girl entered the forefront in her mind as she did. That girl might have been from a different world, and what happened in the world that they had gone through together might be gone now…
But, she wondered if she was right about her.
Ritsuka Fujimaru had said that she was capable of being a hero. If that was true, maybe she'd do that in this world.
She grinned.
Either way, she'd figure something out.
She had time, after all.
With her wish granted and no surprise spiriting away, she had time.
"Musashi," Chiron called as he glanced over his shoulder at her, All Might having burst back into his muscle form as helicopters arrived on sight.
The Saber tore her gaze from the sky with a grin, running to catch up with them.
This is the last of the Movie, Boku no Hero Academia: Two Heroes. I love Musashi, so you can expect that she'll be coming back.
I have some ideas for her, mostly involving one of my favorite heroes, Edgeshot, and of course with the other Servants in the Final Fight. She won't be part of the main cast if she does appear later on, she won't be getting chapters strictly dedicated to her (maybe one side story).
Also, Musashi thinks what we all do about Chiron.
Anyways, Sagittarius will resume normal updates from now on. Go head on back there~ I'll see ya friday
