The Fall of the Ascended
"You leave me no choice, but I am gonna cut that darkness from your heart!" -All Might to Deathsinger
Everyone's POV (All Might, Izuku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Kirishima, Inko, etc)
"You hide your true self behind a mask of perfection, which makes you a great example!" Izuku made his first move to attack the hero.
After their sudden encounter and argument, they'd been started fighting at the coast violently, showcasing each of their own powerful quirks at each other. The fight was intense, so intense that every time they exchange and deliver punches it was like two comets in the universe colliding with a loud bang as it almost sounded like incoming mortars falling into the ground. Their duel had reached the national television around the capital, resulting in every civilian stop on whatever they were doing and they were all witnessing and rooting for the hero. Cheering and chanting his name in front of their television and building screens.
Once they heard another breaking news in the whole household, Bakugo and his friends quickly left the house and rushed on the location to check the situation. Kirishima, on the other hand, called some of their classmates at U.A. to go to the coast and asked for updates.
"Izuku, you nerd…what did you do just now?!" The ash blonde thought to himself while running.
Meanwhile, Inko decided not to go outside of the apartment as her heart had sunken even more upon watching her son fighting against the number one hero. She muttered words, begging and pleading her son to stop.
"I-Izuku, my baby…please, stop this madness…!" She wiped her tears using a facial tissue.
Some Class 1-A students met and gathered together in a local convenience store: Tenya, Momo, Denki, and Ochako. Four of them received a message from Kirishima regarding the situation as they were told to meet together at the nearby coast where the fighting is currently happening.
"I can't believe Mr. All Might is facing the A-rank villain! We have to do something. He's our teacher after all." Kaminari placed his hands on his waist while looking at his friends.
"As much as we wanted to help, we're only getting into his way and might cause trouble. I don't want to repeat the history when the time I got into a fight with the Hero Killer Stain." Iida clenched his fists.
"You're right. Let the pro-heroes do their job. We couldn't do anything but to watch." Momo looked down while reading the latest news on her smartphone.
"How about the others? Are they gonna come with us?" Uraraka asked with a worried face. "My parents didn't allow me to go outside when they heard the news, but I managed to ran away and come along with you guys~ I tried calling Tsuyu and Jiro, but they decided not to go."
"I guess they have the same reasons on our group chat." The yellow-haired was scrolling the group chat on his social media app.
Later on, the four of them finally went to their meet-up location.
Back to the fighting scene
The police force and few pro-heroes told the civilians not to cross the line as they placed police line tapes and steel barricades around the coast. Though blocked by barricades for their safety, they still could see the fighting between All Might and the Deathsinger. The hero even told his fellow pro-heroes not to intervene and commanded to stay on their guard instead.
The two stopped for a while after receiving multiple violent blows from each other, both panting and looked very exhausted. All Might still couldn't believe the young man's superhuman strength and durability. He tried giving his super moves and types of smashes at the enemy, but it wasn't enough to knock him down.
"Such monstrous strength he has than I'd thought."
"Tell me, Young Midoriya." He pointed his hand at the villain. "How long have you been serving the League of Villains? I want to know your boss' whereabouts..."
Izuku let out a chuckle as he wiped his bleeding lips using his wrist. "You'd really think I'm still connected with them? Hehehe. To be perfectly honest, I voluntarily left the group as their goals and motives are not aligned with mine and it would be pointless if I had to stay. Still, I owed them greatly for reviving me back to life! They were the ones who had seen my potential which none of you could. The last time I met with All For One was a year ago. That was when I parted ways with him…in graceful exit if you say in corporate terms. Therefore, I really can't answer your question. I don't know where he is now. They are still active though, plotting to end the symbol of peace. Heh, I can't wait to see that climax, hmm?"
"If you are no longer with them, what are your motives in this world, Midoriya?"
"Simple.." He smirked at All Might. "I speak for the quirkless society, the voiceless, the oppressed and the bullied in which you all seem not to care! Even when I was young, I'd been seeing protests not just in Japan, but also in parts of the globe! When quirks existed, this world was not built on a dream, this world was built on a lie and hypocrisy and that divided us all! They've been fighting for their rights to have equality and justice and you, the hero council, and the government did nothing about it! People with quirks have been scrapping us, our dignity, our very lives and I say no more!"
Upon hearing his true purpose, all who witnessed on what he said felt surprised and some were felt a little guilty since they had encountered people without a quirk had been discriminated and treated them like they have a disability. Katsuki finally saw Izuku at the coast and heard his motive when his childhood friend came back to life. That brought so many memories especially when he used to treat him differently just because he doesn't have a quirk to show off at the school they were attending. He really wished he could go back in time and undo his mistakes to be a better friend, but now everything is different. He finally realized he was wrong for being a bully and a jerk to Izuku and wanting to start over, he really needs to talk to him and confess his feelings.
Izuku suddenly unleashed his demonic quirk as the dark red aura thickens around him, his feathered black raven wings suddenly appeared and spread at him as he prepared to launch another attack to All Might. "This rebellion just got wings." He chuckled. "The day has come…. and it's time, I have to fight back!" The number one hero gradually losing his strength after the long tough battle, but he can't give up just yet. He formed a defensive stance, ready to receive those attacks from the young man.
"My power is declining. At this rate, my body will go back to thin and skinny state! Please, lend me your remaining spirit for once!"
"What's with that stance, All Might? Is that all you can do? I can sense your body is wanting to give up! Well, I'm coming for you now—"At high speed, Izuku rapidly rushed at him until he was interrupted by a loud yell and scream at the coast.
"DEKUUUUUU!"
"T-That voice…sounds familiar... Y-Young Bakugo?"
"Hmm?" Izuku raised an eyebrow
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE, BAKUBRO?!"
"Get back here! I'd get scolded again by our teacher on what you're doing, you fool!" The class president shouted with a foul gesture.
Inko, who was watching in front of the television gasped. "I-Is that Katsuki?"
Mitsuki reacted violently on the screen, scolding her son to stay out of the fight. Masaru tried to calm his wife, but as well worried about his son.
Todoroki gritted his teeth with disappointment.
Izuku's fist was a few centimeters from All Might's defensive stance. Both parties stopped on what they were doing as they glanced at the ash blonde who was resisting from the police and pro-heroes, trying to stop him, but later propelled using his explosion quirk a few meters away and quickly ran towards the two.
All Might waved his hand at them. "It's okay! He's one of my students, no need to worry."
"B-But sir, he's rushing towards the high profile villain—"
"I said I got this! Don't make me repeat myself"
The police force and pro-heroes complied. Katsuki, on the other hand, panted a bit while looking at Izuku.
"De-Deku…I-Izuku…p-please…s-stop this for a moment."
Izuku backed away from All Might before looking back at Katsuki with a grin and later a smirk. "Well look who's here~ My sweet Kacchan is joining the party. Hehehe"
"I-Izuku…I-I just want to talk to you about everything in the past. What I did was wrong and I'd been regretting my actions since the day you died, Izuku." He pressed his fist on his chest while looking at the villain. "I should've been a better friend to you from the start, from the day I met you when my family moved to this city. I should've protected you even more as I finally understood that you were a late bloomer nor a quirkless. You know what? It doesn't matter anymore, Deku!"
The Deathsinger tilted his head with confusion. "What are you saying? Get to the point already…"
"Since the day you died, you've been my inspiration to become a future and better hero at the U.A, you nerd!"
"Tch…" Izuku gasped and backed away, while All Might was observing the two.
"A-After everything that happened, Auntie Inko paid a visit and gave me a present during my birthday and it was the notebook. The notebook that I took away from you, burnt, and threw at the window during the middle school, only to found out that it was really dedicated to me, a guide to becoming a hero in the future. You wrote my strengths, my weaknesses, and some points to improve in which I followed until I started to enroll and study at U.A."
"He still remembered that damn notebook…" He thought to himself.
Izuku looked down and gritted his teeth with clenched fists.
"During my first day, I was shy, reserved and scared to create connections around class because of the scars I made in the past, the scars between us. But later on, they were the ones who helped me improve myself, become a better friend and to serve people when in need! And then, the sports festival came and I did my best to become on top during the event. The obstacle course race, the cavalry battle, and the quirk battle showdown…ALL OF THESE, I DID IT FOR YOU, DEKU!"
Flashback
U.A. Sports Festival – Awarding Ceremony…
The closing ceremony of the U.A.'s Sports Festival reached the award ceremony. Fumikage, Shoto, and Katsuki stood on the 3rd, 2nd and 1st podium respectively to receive their medals. All Might appeared to give the winners their medals.
All Might gave Fumikage his medal for placing third, congratulating him and acknowledging his strength. He gave the half-bird, half-human a pat on the back and a congratulatory hug, telling him that in order to defeat his problem with unfavorable matchups he shouldn't always rely on his Quirk and that he should increase his own strength to deal with unfavorable matchups better, to which Fumikage says he will comply.
All Might gave Shoto his medal for placing second, congratulating him and understands that Shoto had his reasons for suppressing his fireside in the final match. Shoto told the hero that he realized that must come to terms with things to solve his problems. Of course, All Might gave Shoto a congratulatory hug, saying to Shoto that he won't pry any further and that he knows fully well that Shoto can solve anything with his power.
All Might then goes to give Katsuki his medal for first place, congratulating him and acknowledging his overpowered, yet controlled quirk he released against his opponents during the 1v1 quirk match. However, he gave him a little advice not to overdo it otherwise he might hurt someone from releasing too much explosion, in which he nodded and understood what he was saying. Later on, the ash blonde was offered by Midnight and Eraserhead an acceptance and champion speech in front of the cheering crowd.
He cleared his throat before started speaking. "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for watching the event and we've really appreciated it. This award…this award I'm now holding is not just for me." He raised his hand, holding the medal. "This is for every student who did their all and those who were not afraid to show their talents around the world! I wish I could share this medal to you guys, I really do." He, later on, pressed the medal on his chest with a tear on his eye. "B-But there is someone I would like to dedicate…unfortunately, he passed away a long time ago. He also admired All Might and wanted to become a hero just like everyone else….I-I know….I know you are out there in the afterlife, watching this on your screen….this medal..I did this for you and I would like to give this medal to you!" He burst out with tears and suddenly walked out from the stage, later on, accompanied by his classmates to comfort him. The whole audience stood up and clapped their hands for respect to everyone who participated in the event.
Present
Izuku tried not to believe those words coming from his old childhood friend, but his senses are whispering inside him that he's telling the truth. He startled while looking at the frustrated Kacchan as he didn't know what to do next.
"I know there is a little portion of old you who is still wanting to pursue his dreams, Deku! Because every single day, I've been thinking about you and I still care whether you lived, died, and revived over and over again! I've finally understood your true motives and there's still hope that we could change it and all you have to do is to trust us!"
". . . . . .Give me one good reason I should regain my trust in this unfair community. And did you really mean it when you said I could still do good?"
"Of course! Hell, that's what I tell myself!" He placed his hand on his chest before letting out the true confession. "It's because…I-I…."
"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Izuku shouted.
"I LOVE YOU, IZUKU!"
Izuku's eyes widened as it like he saw a ghost in a horror movie and later a blush appeared on his cheeks. Though still shocked and a little scared by bringing back his new old side of him….the old Izuku Midoriya. It was like a dark carnage, a little lotus flower suddenly bloomed in the dawn.
That love confession weakened his demonic quirk and it is one of the disadvantages and he'd really thought his power was limitless but it didn't. Therefore, the dark red aura and the wings disappeared, just him, staring at Kacchan with awe and later formed tears on his eyes…
"K-Kacchan…what are y-you…"
Author's Note: I finished this chapter during Valentines' day which is my least favorite event in my life *vomits AF* So there you go, he confessed to Deku D'aawwwww~ 3 Probably, the most awkward confession I've ever made and I suck at this. Hahahaha! Anyways, thank you for reading and I'll see in the next chapter. Buh-bye Muchahos!
