It's been one year since a targeted attack from Shigaraki's cult of madness and chaos.. A morning workout is being finished, everyone began walking away from training,

Masa's appearance was slight noticeable: with his height growth up 5'10 , his muscle form is more defined with the exposed parts of his Hero suit. The Classic skin-tight Suit was still there but has added extra armor-plating placed on the shoulders, upper chest, knees, left wrist, around the thighs and legs (while he's currently try to come up with a mask idea); his color had altered, it used to be violet with black covering the edges but he now goes by the colors of black mixed with bits of purple shading and the secondary color schemes of cyan going within, and lastly his cape still has the same dark blue coloring. Masa's still equipped with the grabbling hook gun with a few changes, his Cestus wrapped on his right arm/wrist, detached weaponry like sets of Kunai, his old knife, and a new equipment Kali sticks. Masa's still the same genuine guy he is, same personality etc; though he's gained enough confidence in himself pushing further to his original goals (donating more to the orphans alike himself.) gained a couple new goals here and there; helping & saving the innocents get back up, encouraging them growth, strength, so they can protect and improve themselves against obstacles that are needed to be surpassed. Cares less about popularity -despite it happening unintentionally with certain stuff, Masa continues to also improve with his enhanced hearing and the misty shadow quirk (which that specifically, took him awhile to get used to).

Itami was now noticeably taller than before standing at 6'4 his left eye remained blue doctors not being able to explain it. Not only did he grow physically stronger but his quirk got noticeably stronger as well. Now he had mastery over two forms. His speed form now entitled Afterimage could be brought forth instantly, the speeds he is able to hit now are unable to be recorded as he is too fast for tracking cameras. His other form entitled Berserk allows him to keep his steam from exiting his body increasing his overall strength exponentially. His costume now has spots that hold onto his swords and a back up prosthetic for his hand in the event of his fingers breaking his gauntlets now can run up the entirety of his arm and can still be activated and deactivated at will. His prosthetic was now much stronger not only in terms of durability but also in grip strength. Itami now held his head even higher his smile unwavering he aimed to become one of the top heroes in order to protect those he loves and those who can't protect themselves.

Shinomori was also noticeably taller at 6'1, as well he had bulked up gaining some muscle on his body. Shinomori still hasn't cut his hair. His hero suit has not changed since the last time we saw him. After his quirk awakening from his fight against the brood mother, his quirk has grown stronger since. Shinomori's personality has almost done a 180. He's matured a lot over the years, becoming more calm, and level headed. He grows more patient with himself and others. His plan was as simple as they come, to help and protect as many people as he could. He didn't care for rankings, or the "top" at the end of the day, all he strives for now is to be there for those who need it. His relationship with Naomi has long since grown, the two have been together for over a year now.

Tsuyoi has become more determined, pushing herself with her Quirk's ability: learned and trained to be extremely quick and fast with her reaction time with many obstacles in her path within her trajectory. Even though she didn't grow taller, she was at least 5'4 an a half, but size wasn't the main focus. As mentioned before, from practicing and going through more hero experiences, she advanced furthermore with her Quirk and the weapon usages that assist her while providing protection and gaining strength, she still held her equipments such as the gloves that gives her advancements when it comes to climbing along with her gripping on surfaces and spark-like effects were added, only active when she snaps her fingers. Tsuyoi still is equipped with her stamp weapons, they still have such a impactful force as always. Tsuyoi's IQ and intelligence are still incredible, along with improving her calculations when it comes to shooting at multiple targets at once with her trajectory and the mix with her quirk becoming more advance and precise…it almost seems like she can't miss a target. She often trains her physical body as a last resort, incase she can't rely on her weaponry and when she needs to knock an opponent fast and quiet. While she admitted she just wanted to be hero to be cool, as time went on, she understood the importance of being a true hero with cooperating in the same agency with Masa learning more from Uravity and Deku. As usual, she still likes her time alone but she respects her classmates and close friends; while she opens up closer time to time

Miho still works as hard as everyone else. Her quirk has expanded in her telekinetic ways, in a way where she is, if not the strongest in the class currently. Her timid yet determined personality is unwavered even against the worst odds. Her hero suit hasn't changed much as it has always been very low maintenance and cost. Miho has become a close friend with everyone, she enjoys the friends she's made from this job, and plans to continue working as hard everyone else, her unwavering determination is still unmatched.

Sakurai has grown out her hair. Over the year, her and Shinomori have both grown in a strong bond, realizing that they're both brother and sister. She still has an unanswered love for Itami, the two still beat around the bush when it came to their relationship, almost like they both didn't want to risk losing each other as friends... Sakurai's quirk no longer needs a support item, she still struggles with precision, but she is a vital teammate to the class.

Naomi has not grown in years. and this year was not an exception.. Her intelligence is still unmatched by everyone else in the class... Starting last year, she began a "hobby" or how she likes to explain it, a "minor" in support.. Her hero suit now contains tools and electronics, she now enjoys running maintenance and even creating new support items during missions. Naomi and Shinomori have been stuck together for the past year. Since that night at the Todoroki Hero Agency... For a while, the two never made it "official" until Naomi bothered Shinomori about an "Exact date" of when they were official... its been eight months since then.

"Alright, that's the end of today's exercise, you all did exceptionally well."

Itami was still holding a bunch of rubble up, he put it down with a loud thud, and walked over to the group.

"I still feel like I could lift more than that."

Shinomori rolled his eyes letting out a laugh.

"Okay, Mr. My PR is 550"

"I'm just saying I feel like this training isn't doing the trick anymore."

Baga chimed in quickly,

"My friend, these tests are meant to make us stronger, but learn restraint and learn from close scenarios. We all could be pushing ourselves harder than this,"

Shinomori opened his locker, taking off his suit, "It seems like your catch phrase the past few months has been "I could do more""

Itami took off his gauntlets, rolling his eyes.

"yeah and what of it? It just proves that I'm getting stronger."

Shinomori looked at his phone, it was buzzing, it was his current hero agency, "The Bakugo Hero Agency" Shinomori picked up his phone quickly, opening it and looking at the text, Bakugo sent over a photo and an explanation of a new drug that had been circulating in the underground...

"Inhibitors."

Itami and Baga looked over his shoulder... Baga chimed in

"What's that?"

Shinomori put his phone in his pocket, "ahhh.. some new drug the weak are using."

Itami's eyes narrowed, "What the hell is it?"

Shinomori sighed, "From what I read, they're the opposite of Quirk Blockers."

Itami looked more confused

Shinomori turned to Itami "dude, you've gotta learn this stuff, it's part of our job. A Quirk Blocker is used by primarily mutated or overly powered quirked people, it lessens the power of their quirk so they can function day to day as people... I think Meiwakuna and Baga had to take them for a while.. Right Baga?"

Baga nodded.

"Okay, so Those are quirk blockers, an "inhibitor" Is like the opposite, it puts the quirk into some kind of insane overdrive, like nine times the normal strength... It makes even a small fry into a real problem. But the weird thing is, is that since its new, these are "test products" and right now, the drug completely destroys your body and quirk afterwards."

Itami looked concerned.

"Shit. And people are taking these why?"

"It gives them more power. If you lessen the dosage, it doesn't become as lethal, but still. It's a terrifying drug. As well, there is traces of DNA within the drug."

"So it's not really a drug... but someone's QuirK?"

Shinomori clapped as he finished tying his tie

"Bravo Karasu, I give you a solid B"

"Fuck off."

Shinomori, Baga, and Itami walked out of the locker room... Shinomori turned to Baga

"how has your internship with "Sugar man" been?"

Baga shruged, "Asside from constant working out, he's taught me some more offensive fighting strategies. How's Deku Itami?"

"So far it's been going good. We've taken down a few small villains here and there, but the training we do is way intense.."

Sakurai, Miho, Naomi, and Meiwakuna turned the corner, bumping into everyone else. Miho spoke out,

"Hey nerds!"

Itami laughed, "Hey nerd yourself Miho!"

everyone began walking towards their next class, Miho and Itami were leading the group... chatting about some Manga they were both reading... Sakurai and Nemui were carrying the back. Nemui looked over at Sakurai who had a bummed look on her face...

"Y'know if you DON'T do something, eventually Miho or Itami will. And when that happens, he might not-"

Sakurai moped "IIII Knooooow... It's not as easy as it looks Nemui!"

Shinomori laughed, "Yeah it is, I've literally told you what he thinks about you. He more or less knows... He just doesn't want to make you uncomfortable.. for some reason."

Sakurai turned to Shinomori, "Yeah, and I don't want to lose my best friend!"

Shinomori sighed, "Well, think about it this way, if you don't do something, you might lose him to Miho, since you also refuse to tell her. Or, you tell him, and in the VERY VERY VERY small chance that he says no, you lose him... for like a week until things arent as awkward."

Sakurai sighed. "That's not helping."

Shinomori laughed, "I wasn't trying to help, I was trying to get you to finally do something."

Sakurai gazed at Itami.. her heart felt warm... and she let out a sigh.

eventually that night, everyone was back at their hero internships, some did paper work, when others were out on the night keeping the cities of Japan safe! At the Deku hero agency we were following Itami and his current internship at the Deku internship

Deku slammed three more piles of paper onto Itami's desk

"Alright! we need the rest of these verified by the end of the night, Lets get to work!"

Deku went to his own desk, and began going through papers. Itami did the same.. as he was going through he spotted one he hadn't recognized...

"Umm what's operation phoenix?"

Deku yanked the paper out of Itami's hand. "well that's the thing we haven't gotten anything approved yet, so this is just supposed to be a "rough draft" sort of thing."

Deku took the paper, mumbling under his breath as he read through and becoming more annoying and loud..

"Dude, What's it about?!"

"Ah, well, do you remember the doctor that the league of villains named, "The Good Doctor?" His name is Kyudai Garaki."

"What about him?"

"This is a report about him. Don't worry about him"

Deku lifted his finger out infront of himself, shushing Itami quietly. Deku folded the paper quietly, putting it into his pocket.

"By the way, just to let you know I'll be pulling you out of your classes on the 19th, I'll let Aizawa know before hand."

"Were we assigned a mission?"

Izuku silently face palmed himself, trying to stay collected..

"Yeah, We're going up to Kocetsu for a job relating to Dynamite."

"Alright... I'll get the rest of these papers finished up then."

Itami went back to work... after a while he was finished, as he exited the hero internship, he saw Sakurai standing outside with an umbrella.

"y-yo."

Itami waved at her, "yo! How's it going Sakurai!"

Sakurai held the umbrella above herself and Itami

"It's going... I decided to wait for you tonight."

Itami had a puzzled look on his face, "Oh? You didn't have to!" he took over the umbrella, covering himself and Sakurai as they started walking.

"I wanted to... because there's something I wanted to talk about.. y'know?"

Itami looked at Sakurai, a bit confused, "Alright, talk."

Sakurai sighed, "You know you don't have to talk so cold to me!"

Itami was confused and a bit shocked, "aah- I'm sorry? I'm not trying to be!"

Sakurai was silent for a while, so was Itami... after some walking Sakurai spoke up

"how do you feel about, Miho?"

Itami looked at Sakurai, she was hiding her face, "She's nice! reliable in a fight, and she's got great taste in manga!"

Sakurai let out a slight sigh, "oh.. so you, admire her?"

Itami laughed "nah... not like that, she's definitely just a friend to me. what makes you want to ask?"

Sakurai let out a long sigh, "you know, for someone so smart on the battle field, you're pretty stupid otherwise."

Itami stopped, looking at Sakurai with a frown, "What did I do? you asked me a question, I answered."

Sakurai asked with a straight face, "What do you think of me?"

Itami paused for a second, unsure how to answer. "I sense a trap in this question... somehow."

"Just answer."

Itami thought for a second, he always found her attractive, but didn't know how to tell her without sounding, creepy, y'know? "well, what do you think of me, Sakurai?"

Sakurai looked at Itami, "alright, I'll tell you, just... squat down a little. Face to face."

Itami squatted down, he was now eye level with Sakurai, "alright, what-"

Sakurai grabbed Itami's head, pushing her lips against his. Itami was shocked, it was definitely not what he was expecting.

"there. Let's get back, shall we?"

Itami paused, "You don't get to just.. Kiss me then not talk about why!"

Sakurai didn't look back, she kept walking in the rain, "Think about it! You'll figure it out in a week! I hope."

Itami rolled his eyes... "I guess that's my invite... to..." Itami smiled brightly, running up to Sakurai, holding the umbrella above her...

Later in the month, on the 19th, the Deku hero agency was sneaking through a simple rice field... miles away from any city or house for that matter... Izuku had his black whip tendrils protruding from his back, ready for the attack. "Are you ready, Kishi?"

Itami activated his gauntlets. "Yessir."

Deku screamed, to all the agents and police officers, "The plan is simple! To locate and capture Doctor Kyudai Garaki!"

Deku and Itami both charged their quirks... Together the two unearthed the small bunker. When the two used their powers to uproot the bunker, the doctor and only one other villain were at the location. Hokori, the teleported looked up in horror, "How did they find us?!" Hokori quickly turned his head.

"DOC-"

The doctor sat down in his chair.. his hands and body shaking uncontrolably, as he let out a sigh.. Deku quickly wrapped Hokori with his tendrils, "Hokori Sonzaiashinai, Kyudai Garaki, you both are under arrest for crimes against the people of Japan. What you say will be used against you in the court of law-"

As Deku spoke their rights to them, he looked around the bunker... Blood covered the floors of it, at first it looked like a slaughter house, until upon further investigation, the blood was from blood bags... Labeled, "One for All.."

Officers and Itami jumped into the bunker, investigating the lab... It was clearly a factory for these drugs called Inhibitors. Itami spoke out

"Sir! What ever is inside these inhibitors is clearly from a quirk called... One for All!"

Deku looked at the doctor, who had a bright smile on his face, "Well, when you find a hair or two, or a drop of blood or two from one of the strongest heroes... you can't just help yourself, At least I can't... But... months of work.. gone.. gone... gone.."

Hokori attempted to move within the black whip.. "I've got no more choice... I've gotta save the doctor dammit..."

The doctor laughed harder and harder, "well it would really seem that way now wouldn't it-"

The doctor coughed harder than we've seen before, blood began to pour out of his mouth... "Haaaahh... Dammit."

Deku lifted the doctor, tossing him into the rice fields, telling his side kicks to arrest him, whilst he kept Hokori restrained for now.

"Cancer."

Izuku looked at the doctor confused The doctor laughed as he coughed some more...

"I have lung cancer. I have for years. Before the first time I was found out I was getting treatment.. but getting treatment whilst out on the run was seen quite bothersome." The doctor grinned. "You wont get to see me even get to trial Izuku Midoriya.. I'm too far go-" The doctor coughed even more, it was a mix of hysterical coughing and laughing...

While deku was distracted, Hokori was able to pull a syringe out of his pocket, he was able to inject himself with it... His eyes widened as if it was adrenaline... suddenly, multiple portals surrounding the area opened up, multiple villains and nomu emerged from said portals, an evil grin could be seen on Hokori's face. as he teleported out of Midoriya's grip,

"I'll be taking my doctor now..."

The young man had the same look as Midoriya did all those years ago when he reached 100%. His power looked overwhelming. Itami powered up to 100%, going into his berserk form. he ripped a piece of the bunker out and threw it at Hokori

"Neither of you are getting away from justice this time!"

Hokori recovered immediately turning around with a sinister smile, he regenerated.. What ever treatment Akuma got all those years ago, he clearly had the same treatment recently. "Nice kick." a giant portal appeared behind Itami, it was sucking him in far stronger than he remembered the first time he witnessed these portals.. as he watched the portal, he noticed that the things being sucked into the portal were being turned to dust behind it... Itami looked him dead in the face and smile, he was barely able to fight off the intense pull of the black hole.

"Shinomori wasn't lying... this drug is intense-"

Itami was barely able to jump out of the way of the black hole... he charged Hokori, but as he charged, Hokori rose up a finger, "Solar Fission." A giant sun like orb formed on his finger tip, the villain launched the massive bomb towards Itami, as it clipped the ground, it burnt through the soil instantly, it flew faster towards Itami. Deku was distracted carrying the doctor and fighting multiple Nomu and Villains... He couldn't assist his student..

"KISHI! RETREAT!"

Itami dodged the attack, changing to his speed form to assist Deku "What the plan sir?!"

Deku looked around, "Stick with me, we're going against that villain together..." Deku used black whip to attach the doctor to his back... he activated his quirk to one hundred percent, his hair stuck up, with his pupil's splitting from the power. Itami as well increased to 100%, his berserk form was activated. He nodded, following his teacher.

Hokori laughed, "THIS IS AMAZING! THIS POWER! NO WONDER THOSE DRUGGIES WANTED IT NO MATTER THE PRICE- NO WONDER YOU WANT TO KEEP IT! YOU GREEDY HERO!"

Hokori shot another Solar Flare toward Itami and Deku, it disintegrated a hero along the way, Deku launched himself toward Hokori, Hokori hesitated to attack Deku as he still held the doctor.. Instead Hokori targeted Itami, spawning multiple portals, trying to get the young hero to fall into them, and turn to dust..

Itmai dashed out of the way of each portal, he kept his guard for anything.. Hokori, in a desperate attempt, spawned black holes all around Itami and Deku, the portals began to pull their bodies apart, In an instant, Itami switched to his sped form, and slipped through a slight gap between the black holes.. his hero suit was damaged, his prosthetic was also consumed, his sword, damaged from Hokori's attack. Izuku kept himself in the center, preventing damage to himself and the doctor. Exactly what Hokori was planning... "Itami! No! Don't rush in alone!"

Hokokri launched a birrage of solar flares towards Itami, Itami dodged around, he pulled out his damaged blade, once owned by Akuma... Itami changed back to his berserk form, slashing into Hokori's shoulder with a strike that sounded like thunder.

Hokori flew back, enraged, he combined his quirks, using his portals to launch the small solar flares at everyone in the battle field, this attack required Hokori to reposition his portals, resulting in him having to release deku...

Itami charged Hokori, as he did so, a Solar fission from Hokori's "Solar Frenzy" clipped Itami's leg..

"HAHA IS THIS THE BEST THE HERO ACADEMY HAS TO OF-"

Hokori felt his head and chest pulsate... as he looked up, he dodged an attack coming from Deku!

Itami smiled through the pain, "NOT AT ALL!" with a terrifying yell, his eyes glowed brighter from his quirk, he drew his broken sword slicing at Hokori

"I have to wrap this up now..." Hokori used a portal to dodge away from Itami's attack... Hokori jumped throug the portal, attempting to grab the doctor.. instead, he was met with Deku's boot, at 100%.

Hokori flew through the air, Itami activated his speed form, catching up to Hokori quickly.. Hokori caught himself midair, using Solar fission, he started to do an ultimate move, creating a massive bomb to kill everyone in the vicinity

"IF IM GOING DOWN, YOU'RE ALL COMING WITH ME-!"

Itami brought his sword down at the villain, cutting off Hokori's arm, stopping him from creating the Nuclear fusion ultimate move..

Hokori flew back... wincing in pain, holding his stump... it began to regenerate, but at the wrist, it started to crumble apart back to the stump.

"no... no..."

Hokori held his strump, trying to activate his quirk, he started screaming in pain, as cracks began to form all over his body.

"OH GOD... OHHH GOD WHY?!"

Itami put his sword away, panting from intensity from the battle, "What's happening to him!?"

Midoriya watched Hokori... a memory of the Fourth took over Midoriya's mind... "His body is rejecting the power..."

Hokori began to vomit out blood as the cracks in his body continued to bleed, with his only hand he reached into his pouch and pulled out another syringe.. Itami placed his foot on Hokori's wrist, stopping him from injecting himself.

"L-Lord Shigaraki... I understand now, this power..."

Itami took the inhibitor, putting it in his pocket, "not taking any chances pal."

The doctor and the villains were taken into police custody, Hokori somehow survived, even with injuries like his... a million to one odds the doctors said... Later that night, Shinomori was kneeling atop ofm a building, looking down at Downtown Tokyo... Bakugo yelled at Shinomori

"What are you looking at dammit?!"

"I'm just thinking sir."

Bakugo smacked Shinomori on the top of his head a few times to get his attention

"THINK WHILE LOOKING FOR THE TRUCKS DAMMIT!"

Shinomori rubbed his head "Yeah yeah I know! Three black trucks, two in the front, one in the back covering a mini van.. I heard you."

Katsuki sighed, looking at the kid, "Come on Glow Stick, you're smarter than to zone out during a goddamn overnight watch."

Shinomori looked at Katsuki with concern, "was that your way of asking what's wrong? When did your heart grow ten sizes?"

Katsuki chuckled "When a hero had to implant his own heart into mine. Now speak your mind as you look."

Shinomori was scanning the area, "well.. I'm thinking about my girlfriend and-"

Katsuki smacked Shinomori again "Sorry, but that aint something to worry about right now."

Shinomori rubbed his head "I know sir.. it's just.. that I've been thinking.. it's been a year, she's been with me thick and thin.. and I think I want to ask her to-"

Bakugo looked at Shinomor with a confused face. "Nah kid. what the hell are ya thinking?"

"Too soon?"

"Way too soon. you're 17? Shit kid, you're still young. You don't know if that's what you want." Katsuki laughed

"Wishful thinking kid, but you still got a few years until that shit."

Shinomori scanned the vans, a bit embarrassed he pointed one out. "Is that the formation?"

Katsuki had an evil look on his face "YEAAhh... that's it!" Bakugo launched himself towards the trucks..

Shinomori rolled his eyes as he followed his hero.

The man driving the van looked in his rear view mirror, spotting Bakugo's explosions. "WE'VE GOT COMPANY!" A man slammed open the back of the doors of the van shooting an LMG at the hero.

Bakugo used his explosions to clear away from the gun fire, "Dammit! WHO GAVE THE EXTRAS HEAVY GUNS LIKE THESE?!

Shinomori took a deep breath, using his quirk, he reinforced his lower half, using his quirk to spin at a high velocity, piercing through the engine of the white van. it flew through the sky, crashing into the two black vans in front of it.

Bakugo scoffed as he took out the driver with the LMG.

"Nice one glow stick! Not bad, not bad at all! Even for an extra like you!"

Eventually, the police were able to arrive, and arrest the criminals, this caravan was one of multiple that were carrying over contained DNA of quirks, as well, a crate of inhibitors. That were promptly destroyed.

Izuku Midoriya

Midoriya arrived at the interrogation office with some police and detectives; Here, they were interrogating different villains trying to get any information they possibly good... Deku walked into the screening for the highest valued target...

"Hokori Sonzaishinai."

The detective looked at Deku, "we've tried.. but he wont share anything with us, that's why we called you, he said he would only talk to you.. Deku looked over at the villain and sighed,

"I guess I'm going in then.

Deku walked into the interrogation room... "Hokori Sonzaishinai."

The villain slowly looked up, his body was bandaged, and only one arm was chained up. while his bandaged stump was left allone...

"Hello, One for All."

Midoriya ignored his blantant attempts to get confirmation of his quirk.

"Why am I here, Hokori?"

Hokori shrugged, "well you know why I'm here!" Hokori laughed as he leaned in "But I'm sure you want some answers about this.. all of it."

Izuku nodded "yes, there's much to be answered for. First of all.. what is with you, and that girl, you both fight as if you both have All for One."

Hokori slammed his hand against the table "Nah ah ah. You arent getting anything from me. YET. I want insurance."

Deku scoffed, "What?! Now? Now you're asking for insurance?! We are way past that Hokori you have killed coutnless-"

Hokori smiled "I want witness protection! If I spill, like you so hope I do, Shigaraki will most definitely have me killed. I won't even walk out of this damned police station if he found out about this! I want to start off new. In America."

"America?! What the hell kind of bail do you think you're getting?!"

"The kind I want! The information I have can end this all by tomorrow! But only if you agree to my terms. If you don't give me a second chance at life, there's no chance you'll ever find Shigaraki again, until its too late."

Izuku stood up, turning around, and walking out of the interrogation chamber... he went to the observation room, where the two detectives were waiting.

"you heard all that?!"

The director slammed down his clipboard "Yeah I heard that. We can't handle such a request right now dammit!"

Deku thought hard. "he's terrified of Shigaraki. If we don't give him what he wants I doubt he will even give a second thought about helping us. He has the information we need to bring an end to Shigaraki.."

The director sighed... "there's only so much we can do... but if it brings an end to this goddamn monster.. then tell him we'll make it work.. no more. no less."

Deku walked back into the interrogation room, sitting back down across from Hokori, who was sipping from a cup of water.

"so! what'll it be sheriff?!"

"we'll make your request. But, understand some conditions. 1. We will withhold you until AFTER your information is proven correct. Until proven correct, you will be under surveillance. 2. When we hand you off to the United States of America, there is no telling what they do with you. You would be out of our jurisdiction. You could be prosecuted, immediately put in jail, or even put through the death penalty."

Hokori tried clapping with his stump "Good deal! Good deal! That's a better deal that I'd have rotting in jail! Alright, what do you want to know, Sherriff?!"

"what is wrong with you and Akuma?!"

Hokori laughed, "More like what's right with us! The doctor calls us the Lieutenants. We are built strong through a four month DNA altering bath, eventually, he implements a modified All for One that allows us to withhold at least eight quirks."

"Atleast?!"

"Well.. Those who have this power are very frugal with who's quirks we take. Because once we have it, there's no going back! I only had four. My original portal quirk, Solar fusion, Hyper regeneration, and float."

Deku thought for a moment, scratching his beard...

"Who else is a Lieutenant?"

"Ah- there's me, Akuma, and then Arashi, the ex 1-"

"I know who Arashi is."

Deku thought for a second, "Confirm to us what exactly is in the Inhibitor drug."

"Well, they're from your DNA, at first, we had your hair, and after a loooong ass process, we got your DNA. We synthesized that into your blood, and mass produced it. At first, it was an attempt to extract your quirk. Instead the doctor synthesized a shot of pure... quirk.. adrenaline! There have been multiple versions of it.. The latest one we began selling, but we've got a much more mild shot coming out soon, that will increase power, with no draw backs."

"no drawbacks?! So people will be able to purposefully increase their own power soon?"

"Yep! It'll be permenant, and as expensive as goddamn gold. Not that we need money... we did it more for... well... to cause mayhem and try to tilt the tides of this war."

Deku sighed, "What is he planning with all of this? Why does he constantly send out decoys?"

Hokori stretched, "Cuz he doesn't want you to know what he's up to. these "Quirk busts" you've been doing, have been nothing but him trying to keep you busy while he finishes his plan to invade Tokyo, to bomb and take out as many heroes, citizens, and government officials as he can."

"when is this invasion."

"What day is it?"

Deku's voice was strained from the stress of that question. "It's Tuesday."

Hokori drank some more water. "He originally planned this Friday. He may do it sooner, or later, depending on how he's feeling."

"So.. there's no solid day he may attack?"

"No.. I told you man. It's Friday. But after the attack, taking the doctor, he may go through with it sooner, or later, or on time. He's unpredictable."

Midoriya stood up, leaving the interrogation room... In front of him was the two detectives,

"Did you get all that?!"

"yes.. He's atleast telling the truth about the inhibitors, we found traces of your DNA through four of the syringes we tested."

Midoriya began to stress... "If they have these syringes ready for this battle... there's no telling how outnumbered we are. I need to gather allies, we need as many heroes as we can for this battle. No exceptions..."

within this week, Deku went to multiple heroes, past classmates, internships, everyone. Asking for help for the upcoming war. With precautions being made, the continued to make plans to suit the needs of the war. Soon… it was almost upon them… the beginning of the final war.

It's been four days. Saturday. Shigaraki has still not made his assault on Japan. There has been 0 acts of crime or violence in three days. More indepth information from Hokori lead the heroes to expect Shigaraki approaching from the South-east ocean border. When they attack, it will be an all out war. until one side is left standing.. In secret, cementoss created an underground bunker wrapping around Tokyo, heroes, and students alike have been hiding underground, awaiting the attack for three days.

Shinomori anciously looked out of the peep hole... "Man, I aint seeing anything out there."

Masa was sitting behind Shinomori, he sat patiently, tapping his thumb on his new equipped metal staff, while he was listening with his hearing quirk...

Shinomori laid back against the wall, skitting down until he sat next to Masa "Anything?"

"nothing yet..."

Sakurai, Itami, Miho, and Naomi were also with the two, the only one missing was Meiwakuna, who was treated as a sort of "VIP"

Itami was sharpening his sword, getting it ready for the fight. Shinomori started getting irritated

"You've been sharpening that sword for like, two hours. I think it's sharp dude."

Itami kept sharpening, "There's this one chip I'm trying to sharpen out. Just give me some more time. Sorry guys, It hurts my ears too."

Shinomori closed his eyes for a second starting to fall asleep... until Sakurai kicked him "Come on man, stay awake. you definitely don't want to wake up with ringing in your ear, and your limbs missing."

Naomi was working on a device nothing important, just a little bit of busy work... Shinomori looked at Naomi, his face began to turn red.. remembering that night with Dynamight, Dynamight told him that it was a really REALLY stupid idea... but Shinomori kind of... already bought a ring...? he fiddled with it in his pocket. Sakurai sat next to her brother. noticing him fiddling with his pocket.. She whispered, "What are you messing with in there?

Shinomori turned to her, "don't worry about it."

Sakurai had already pick pocketed Shinomori, somehow taking it out of his hand. The glint of it shined some light in the bunker, she quickly put it in her pocket realizing what it was. Itami spoke out,

"the hell was that?"

"uhh I think it was a spark from your sword sharpening!"

"Ohhh... That means I'm getting some progress!"

Sakurai looked at Shinomori with a "really bitch" expression, she handed it back to Shinomori,

"Out of all your dumb ass ideas, that is DEFINITELY your dumbest idea."

"I know now! I.. bought it out of impulse. and uh... I've already made my decision that we're way to young and-"

"Then why are you carrying it?"

Shinomori began to sweat-

Everyone's communicators turned on. "Everyone, please move to your designated spaces. We're seeing movement. I repeat, Everyone, please move to your designated spaces. We're seeing movement."

Itami stood up, putting his sword back in its sheath "Good luck everyone, may we all meet afterwards!"

Shinomori stood up, already running down the corridors of the underground trenches "see you guys on the other side!"

Sakurai and Itami ran to the front section of the trenches, Shinomori went to a building in down town Tokyo, where he met up with Snipes, and Meiwakuna.. Naomi, Baga, and Miho were in the secondary part of the trenches.

The waiting became seconds, to minutes, to hours... and hours of waiting. Each student became anxious and stressed.. wondering if the informants were truthful. Suddenly, Tomura Shigaraki rose from the depths of the water, as if he was walking on water. Shigaraki wore a fully black cloth drapped over his shoulder. He was smiling as he took a deep breath in, Ah... Tokyo Japan... It's been so long."

Shigaraki raised his arms towards the sun, he opened a magnificent portal, and raised the beach floors to create a platform... hundreds and hundreds of Nomu appeared... thousands of villains appearing behind them the armies were split in half, lead by two villains, Akuma and Arashi. Akuma shouted to Shigraki

"we are ready for your signal sir!" She stored an inhibitor in her suit...

Arashi stored an inhibitor in his boot, he did not speak, but he nodded in accordance.

Shigaraki looked around taking in a deep breath, "Oh what a beautiful day for mayhem."

Shigaraki placed his hand on the ground, noticing decay wasn't working. Aizawa and Monoma were both in the front lines of the bunker, keeping their eyes on both Shigaraki and Arashi. Shigaraki finally spoke

"ah. Someone snitched.-"

On top of a building, miles away, a giant gatling gun could be seen on top of a building, Nemui Shinomori's arm was in the cannon, powering it up, whilst Meiwakuna aimed the gun.

"How's that?!"

Meiwakuna nodded, "THAT'S IT! FIRE!"

Shiomori took a deep breath,

"Here's OUR declaration of war, Asshole." Shinomori shot the charged beam, the giant mechanic gun, plus Shinomori's intensified quirk fired at Akuma's Army of Nomu. A giant red beam shot straight into it, over three fourths of the Nomu were burnt up and killed from the blast, also injurying a good percentage of villains in the ranks. Shigaraki slowly stood up, looking toward the building...

"You.. nuisances."

Deku blasted a hole through the bunker, finally, their surprise counter attack was in affect, "EVERYONE THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE END, ONCE AND FOR ALL! NOW CHAAARGE!"

Deku Launched himself, using black whip, he wrapped around Shigaraki's arms, as he flew into the sky with Shigaraki behind him.

The heroes far and wide all charged the beaches of Tokyo, the remaining Nomu, and villains charging as well..

Baga charged through the heroes, infront, next to Itami, he had a secondary objective... looking around, he saw him. Arashi.

"You."

Baga turned into his shadow form, charging at Arashi, he pulled out his knife, slashing at Arashi!

Arashi grabbed Baga's arm, Baga dug his knife into Arashi's neck. Arashi slowly pulled the knife out of his neck, as he healed effortlessly. He bitch slapped Baga with his knife, cutting open Baga's face, and sending him flying. Itami charged Arashi, using his berserk mode, and his sword, he cut through Arashi's arm before he could disappear, Arashi reappeared behind Itami, using a copy of Bakugo's quirk to launch Itami backwards..

Itami caught himself with his sword, a Nomu tried grabbing onto him, with one swift punch, he knocked the Nomu's head off of its shoulders... Baga slowly stood up, picking up his knife with his left hand, he pulled out his Kunai. Itami and Baga charged the traitor Baga used his kunai to cut his Achille's tendons, as Itami launched Arashi backwards with a 100% punch.

Arashi caught himself, using his new quirk, he touched the sand, heating it up into liquid glass. Itami and Baga both backed up, Arashi's body began to turn into some sort of hot magma state. The man smiled,

"What can I say? I think I made a good trade..."

Itami charged Arashi with his sword, only to be charged by Akuma, who was using another sword to stop him from his brutal attack. Itami and Akuma pulled away from Arashi and Baga.

"You're mine Arashi."

Arashi sighed, his fingers stretched from another quirk, combining quirks, he was able to make flaming wind whips, Baga dodged back and forth, dodging Arashi's intense attack

"I knew.. it would end like this."

Arashi used his original quirk to change into a cloud, and go through baga to dodge his attack. Baga grunted in anger

"Goddamn coward! FACE YOUR FATE!"

Arashi flew up into the air... he activated a quirk that was seen earlier this story, "Radioactive beams" fired towards Baga and other heroes, heroes struck by this quirk melted, in excruciating pain, as Baga stood up, dodging this onslaught...

Baga used a Nomu to jump towards Arashi, tacking Arashi, Baga pulled out his knife, stabbing Arashi again in the neck... Midair, Arashi fought to pull out the knife, as Baga pulled out a syringe...

"I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT NAOMI!"

three days ago

"The Villains have an upper hand... These inhibitors make it almost impossible to take out some of our enemies, even without them, the Lieutenants themselves are dreadful opponents."

Deku sat in the conference room full of heroes, and interns.. Standing with Aizawa was Eri. Eri spoke,

"even with my quirk at full power, I.. I can't rewind all of them..."

the girl stood there, depressed as she could not help... Aizawa comforted the girl,

"don't worry, we aren't asking you to fight.. it's sweet of you to offe-"

Naomi stood up, "Actually sir! I have an idea!"

Deku pointed at Naomi, "yes, what is it, Kashiko?"

Naomi took a deep breath, "While... A while ago, I looked at the Chisaki file, upon investigation, I saw her quirk was used to remove quirks through her blood. with her permission, I think it would be smart for us to hand over her blood to a quirk biologist, and have them work it to rewind the Lieutenants back to their original state! That way they can be out of the question entirely."

Deku hesitated, "no-"

Eri Jumped up, "I'll do it! I'm.. not a big fan of syringes... but.. I will no doubt help if I can! Please! Let me help!"

Baga stabbed Arashi with the thick needle, it barely pierced his skin.

"Baga what are you doing?!"

Baga injected the serum. Arashi threw Baga off of himself, his quirks deactivated.. Arashi fell down to the battle field ground, Baga looked at Arashi, as his body rewinded two years... Arashi screamed in pain, as his pale white hair changed back to a black color... Baga ran up to Arashi, knocking him out... taking him out of the battle field... Baga exhaled sharpily, touching his ear to turn on his communicator, he dodged a Nomu's incoming attack,

"uh-uh Arashi- Lieutenant Arashi is decommissioned!"

Izuku Midoriya

Midoriya smiled, with a triumphant smile, he kicked Shigaraki with a 100% kick, dodging Shigaraki's incoming attack.

Tomura yanked on black whip, pulling Midoriya close again "DIE YOU DAMN HERO!"

Tomura threw a right hook with the strength that rivaled Deku's. because of monoma, Shigaraki still could not use his quirks..

Suddenly, a massive beam shot above the crowd of villains and Nomu, hitting only Shigaraki.

Shigaraki's arm fell off after the blast, he looked over at the building... "Goddamn bothersome.. cheaters."

Akuma Chosho

Akuma used her blade to slice through another hero, as she pulled the corpse off of her comrade, she ran towards another hero. Baga heard crowds of villains charging and Nomu's screeching, he turned his head, as he saw Akuma, Itami ran next to Baga, the both charging her

"One left! Let's get her Eko!"

Baga pulled out his staff, combining his staff and knife, he made a lance.. Baga put it back onto his back, preparing for the fight he kept running, but combined his two quirks, calling this ultimate move, "The Silent Banshee" one by one, Baga used his throwing knives, Kunai, and combat skills to take down several villain thugs easily as he ran with Itami.

Itami used his sword to slash at the woman. But quickly jumped out of the way as she sliced into the air, making a giant slice of energy, slicing into several heroes in the battle field.

Itami went into his after image form, saving multiple heroes from the initial attack..

Akuma attempted to attack and kill Itami, but was thwarted by Baga appearing, using his staff to knock her onto the ground, and pierce her chest. She used Sakurai's quirk to shake the ground, causing an earthquake as she stood back up, she snapped the boy's staff as she stood back up... "Dammit. It's always you two."

Itami slashed through Akuma, interrupting her use of Sakurai's quirk.

"This is the last time we'll clash."

Baga quickly drew out his grappling hook, shooting it into Akuma, he attempted to pull her towards him and Itami

"PLEASE!" Akuma pulled the grappling hook rope, slicing at Baga, Itami used his own sword to stop her attack, and slice back at her.

Akuma sliced at Akuma while she kicked Baga back down on the ground, finally she pulled the Kunai in her leg from Baga, and threw it at a different hero, killing them.

Baga used his misty shadow quirk to prevent himself from getting slice from Akuma, he kicked Akuma in the head, doing a backflip to dodge her counter.

Sakurai jumped into the battle, using her quirk she shattered Akuma's sword, dodging Akuma's punch, she touched Akuma's arm, shattering her arm into pieces.

Akuma dodged backwards, dropping the hilt of her broken sword.. Angered.. she grunted, pulling out her inhibitor, she injected it instantly without thinking.

Baga used his "silent Banshee" move, to get behind her, kicking her forward as the drug kicked in, Itami switched to his Berserk mode, turning on his communicator

"MEIWAKUNA!"

Itami kicked Akuma into the air, instantly, a blast hit Akuma, burning through her flesh, she screamed in pain from the initial blast... Meiwakuna exhaled, as she looked through the scope

"Fuck off with your synthetic quirk bullshit!"

Akuma's body fell to the ground, almost instantly, her hair stood up, her body healing instantly, she looked up with the same eyes Hokori had

"HOLY SHIT THAT SHIT HAS A BUZZ TO IT!"

Akuma began to phase in and out of existence faster and longer than ever before, the overdrive started affecting her quirks... Itami charged her

"EKO! VIBE BACK ME UP! WE FINISH HER OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

Sakurai readied her quirk right when Akuma flew behind Sakurai in the blink of an eye, kicking her in the back, an audible "SNAP" echoed from Sakurai, followed by her being unresponsive Baga and Itami both looked at Sakurai, but Itami was filled with an intense rage,

"GOD DAMMIT! SAKURAI?!"

Itami used his sword to slice at Akuma, her original quirk was so fast that Itami couldn't even strike her. Akuma slammed Itami's sword downward, cracking it and shattering the blade, she punched Itami in the chest, breaking multiple ribs and sending him flying backwards.

Itami tried to breath, multiple bones were poking into his lungs, making it difficult to breathe...

Akuma walked towards Itami, ready to kill him. Baga jumped at Akuma, screaming "Noo!"

Akuma caught baga by the throat, crushing his throat and throwing him away.

"I'm finally ending this. Your effort to live... you fucking vermin-."

Akuma held her head as she winced in pain, Itami watched her react, her veins turned black, and her skin looking as if it were melting...

Itami took the chance to kick the villain backwards away from Baga and Sakurai, who were both severely injured.

Akuma stepped back, looking at her hands, she could see her fingers beginning to fade away.

"No...no NO NO NOOO!"

Akuma's body started to disappear, there was no coming back from this...

"I'M NOT DONE YET- I HAVE SO MUCH LEFT TO DO... SO MUCH LEFT TO PROVE.. PLEASE! NOOOO... PLEASE... HELP...M .. ... . .e..."

Akuma's head disappeared as she screamed out for help... hero clothes and inhibitor fell onto the ground. The drug she took corrupted her quirk to the point where her body stopped existing all together.

Itami fell to his knees, breathing barely.. he grabbed Baga and Sakurai, lifting them over his shoulders, he ran back to the bunkers for medical attention. Upon arrival, countless heroes were already being treated.. Baga and Sakurai were taken from Itami... another doctor observed Itami as they tried to do their best to heal the heroes.

Shigaraki and Deku

Shigaraki put his hand out, in a desperate attempt to grip onto Deku's head

"Give me MY BIRTH RIGHT!"

"THIS POWERS IS NOT YOURS FOR THE TAKING!"

Deku did a Saint Lewis Smash, sending Shigaraki flying back, only to be reeled back in and punched another eighteen times.

Suddenly, multiple Nomu flew into the air, attacking deku, and pulling him away from Shigaraki to seperate their great leader from him. Shigaraki flew towards the ground, he examined the battle field.. they were clearly losing... he took a deep breath. He spotted the intial blast from the trenches.

"Time to turn the tides."

Shigaraki landed in front of the bunker, in front of Aizawa and Monama.

"It's been a while Eraser head!" Shigaraki kicked Aizawa, sending him flying into the wall, leaving a blood splatter. Monama attempted to keep Shigaraki from using his quirks, when Shigaraki grabbed Monama by the head,

"Pathetic."

Shigaraki grabbed Monama's head with both of his hands, crushing his head, Shigaraki felt his quirks return to him. Finally.

Itami looked up, seeing Shigaraki, "was this really the end? How my story ends? In a dirty ditch? I haven't even told Sakurai what I really feel.. this can't be it..."

Itami tried standing up, pointing at Shigaraki, Shigaraki laughed "Oh boy, I know what you're going to say, and the answer is no. I don't want you anymore... It's time to clear house!"

Shigaraki slammed his hand into the ground. the decay was about to being, until a familiar blue glow enveloped around the villain, traveling at 150 MPH, Shigaraki was launched into a wall, then into the sky.

Shigaraki was enraged, and disorienated "HOW- WHO DARES?!"

Shigaraki sprouted wings which caught him mid air. A blue glowing girl stood infront of the villains...

"THE NAME'S NAKATANI MIHO! AND GET READY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED!"

Tomura sprouted a giant arm, trying to crush Miho with it, Miho caught the brut's arm. She kept Shigaraki from moving, holding him completely still, she turned on her communicator.

"Guys, go crazy."

Suddenly, blast after blast hit Tomura Shigaraki, Shinomori was sweating from forcing himself to supply so much energy, with each blast, Shigaraki regenerated, over and over, Shigaraki was kept in a unending attack.. until he muttered two words..

"f-full... COUNTER!"

Miho looked at Shigaraki with a surprised face, he began to glow as if he were a nuclear warhead going off... and he did, the blast of energy was so intense that even Shinomori, and Meiwakuna's building was caught in the blast..

Shinomori opened his eyes, his ears still ringing, he saw snipes, and Meiwakuna yelling at him... He had no clue what he was saying until he heard, "FLY US OUT OF HERE!" The building was falling, Shinomori picked up Meiwakuna and Snipes, using his quirk, he jumped off of the collapsing building. In the air, you could see half of Tokyo that once stood proud was wiped out... Thankfully, they had a quiet evacuation, those who were hurt were heroes, and villains alike.

Shigaraki regenerated taking in a deep breath, he looked at Miho, unharmed, but breathing hard..

"My my.. You have surprised me. That power of yours, so basic, but you make it so... Interesting."

Shigaraki broke out of Miho's hold, Miho dodged back from Shigaraki,

Shigaraki pierced Miho's stomach, sending her free falling in the sky... Shinomori flew below, catching Miho

"THIS IS GETTING HEAVY DAMMIT!"

Snipes pulled out his revolver, shooting multiple shots into Shigaraki, "SHINOMORI GET US TO THE GROUND"

Shinomori was struggling, "I'M TRYING! IT'S HARD LANDING BY ONLY JUMP BOOSTS AND THREE PEOPLE ON YOUR BACK!"

Shinomori barely landed it, Miho held her stomach, Meiwakuna stood up, putting on a glove, that acted like an ignitor.. "ARE WE ALL THAT'S LEFT?!"

Whilst saying that... Itami stood up from the bunker, followed by Baga, and a limping Sakurai... Naomi walked back onto the battle field, bloodied from her own battles, Deku landed next to the rest of them... This was the last remaining heroes.

Deku inhaled deeply "EVERYONE! GO BEYOND... PLUS GODDAMN ULTRA!"

Everyone charged Shigaraki, Deku and Itami were in the front, both going at their full potential, Sakurai shook the ground below Shigaraki, as Shinomori shot blasts of energy at Shigaraki. Baga, used his misty quirk to work his way towards Shigaraki. Miho, using her quirk guarded all of them, having the ability to pull any of them back in the off chance they might be attacked.

Shigaraki was being beaten, he was barely able to fight back, until he used his mutation quirk to sprout monstrous hands, affected by decay, everyone whom may be touched by it would surely die.

Miho grinned, pulling everyone back, saving them all from the attack, she charged in, using the full capabilities of her quirk, she ripped Shigaraki limb from limb, dodging backwards, she was instead grabbed by her leg.. she felt it decaying, she gasped, looking up at Shigaraki, with an evil smile, he created a giant monstrous arm..

Miho cut her leg off before the decay could spread, and created a barrier, all with her quirk! She looked back at everyone, who was charging back into battle... more spread out Miho smiled, tears running down her face.. her barrier began to crack..

the Barrier shattered, Miho was completely crushed in the process...Shigaraki lifted his limb, showing Miho's lifeless body, beyond recognizable.

Our group of friends screamed out in pain, watching their friend who saved them moments before being crushed...

Naomi used her quick to power up both Itami and Midoriya

"KILL THIS GODDAMN BASTARD!"

Shinomori came in from the side, blasting Shigaraki with an unending stream of energy... Itami, and Deku both hit Shigaraki with 100%, Shigaraki tried covering his face, he looked down at his shattered arms, as they were not regenerating, he looked over to his right... Aizawa was still alive, and kept his gaze upon Shigaraki.

"huh... Even after all that.. you prove yourself to be stronger than anyone else... You are something else.. Eraser head."

Tomura punched Itami backwards, He swiped at all the other students as they tried attacking him... Until Deku pulled Shigaraki with black whip into the sky...

Deku activated Gear Shift, Fajin, and One For All all at the same time, punching Shigaraki far into the sky...

"First..Second... Third...

Top Gear!"

Midoriya sent Shigaraki flying into thinner and thinner atmosphere, to the point where it became hard to breath... Shigaraki looked up, seeing Midoriya above him... Stupidly, the boy sent him far enough that Aizawa's gaze no longer worked.. Shigaraki lifted his arm, thinking he had the upperhand, until Midoriya barely touched Shigaraki

"WORLD...WIDE... SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHEEE!"

Shigaraki plummeted back to the ground, his eyes could not comprehend the speeds he was going at, until he slammed into the ground, Deku landed next to him...

"THIS TIME SHIGARAKI... STAY. DEAD."

Midoriya put 145% into the punch, sending Shigaraki flying again... Grappled by black whip, and pulled back into another punch... Itami, Shinomori, and everyone joined in the fight... beating onto the villain, suddenly he was thrown onto the ground again, as Shigaraki looked up, a series of explosions trailed all the way to Shigaraki, the air around him was exploding, sending him ablaze...

Meiwakuna approached Shigaraki, continually blasting him with her quirk... with a furious expression, she set his lungs, and throat ablaze

"DIE YOU MISERABLE PILE OF BURNT FLESH!"

Meiwakuna sent Shigaraki flying by the last blast...

Shigaraki slowly stood up... holding his seared flesh

"You... GOD DAMMED FAILED EXPERIMENTS!"

Shigaraki used his mutation type quirk to send spears launching towards everyone... most dodged out of the way, except for Shinomori, Baga, and Aizawa who were all hit by Shigaraki's desperate attack...

Shigaraki took a deep breath.. finally regenerating... he coughed out blood...

"What's happening?! Am I hitting some kind of goddamn limit?!"

Shinomori held his leg, looking at Baga, and everyone.. everyone was exhausted and beaten to hell... Even Midoriya looked like he was moments from collapsing.

Shigaraki raised his arms into the sky... "Air pressure, Wind tunnel, Razor Blades, Multiplier times four, multiplier times ten! DECAY!"

Shigaraki combined all these quirks into a giant wind tunnel, carrying decaying razor blades, as they touched walls, injuried heroes or villains, they decayed, everyone dodged out of the way the best they could, Aizawa got his eyes back on Shigaraki, pausing his damned rampage.

more heroes were appearing, even at death's door, every hero that could keep fighting, kept at it...

Baga, even with his own body struggling to stand, he charged forward using Silent banshee... he used his knife to stab into Shigaraki's neck, Baga purposefully snapped his knife, leaving the blade within the monster's neck... Shigaraki gasped, trying to fish it out...

Itami charged the monster, putting in a few hits at full power, he sent the monster flying into Deku, who once again, shot the monster into the air, throwing him towards Meiwakuna, who made him into a burnt piece of meat.

Shigaraki fell onto the ground... blood pouring from every pour of his skin... he slowly stood up from the rubble.. grunting and wincing from the pain

"my my has it been long since I've felt like this.."

he slowly walked out of the rubble fully regenerated

"you damn heroes.. just because you've stopped me here doesn't mean a damn thing- "

as he scratched his neck, his finger fell apart like ash

"there will always be another. Another me. Another "problem" in your perfect society."

his body began to crumble as he took each step forward.

"THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SHADOW TO THE LIGHT DAMMIT! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS I PROMISE THAT TO YOU ALL!!"

his torso has mostly turned to solid ash as he drew his last breath

"THAT… THAT IS WHAT MAKES US… HEROES AND VILLAINS!!!"

Shigaraki's ashes flew away in the wind... the remaining heroes looked in disbelief... many fell, finally letting their bodies give out.. our heroes all grouped together, around Miho... crying over their lost friend... Shinomori sat down against a wall, taking a deep breath, and passed out...

hours later

Aizawa walked into the hospital, holding his adoptive daughter's hand, Eri.. the both of them were approached by a doctor... he pulled down his mask,

"Eri, could we perhaps ask for your help to heal some brave souls that saved our nation?"

Eri nodded with a grin, happily complying, she was taken to student to student, hero to hero, healing those the best she could to before the attack.. everyone woke up, and were able to once again live their lives! Many had their limbs restored! Itami being one of them, gaining back his missing fingers.. Shinomori sat up in his hospital bed with a smile, talking amongst everyone..

he looked up, looking at everyone..

Sakurai was taking care of Itami in his hospital bed... it looked like they finally tied things off... on the other side was Naomi and Meiwakuna, goofing off and talking, as Baga was reading a book.. Shinomori sat up, clearing his throat to get everyone attention..

"even though we had a victory.. I just... Wanted to say, let's remember those we lost. Suro. Miho. Mr. Monoma, and the countless heroes and fellow students that we lost along the way.. this was their dream.. to finally take down Shigaraki.."

Itami nodded

"we can't let this ever happen again.."

Sakurai chimed in "and we won't! That's why any of us here, to prevent things like this ever happened again."

a nurse began to leave the jointed room, when Shinomori pulled out his phone, "Ma'am! Could you please take our photo?"

the nurse nodded with a smile, "everyone, group up! In your... hospital gowns.."

everyone laughed as they grouped together, posing with one another, more and more classmates joined in on the photo..

"everyone ready? Alright..."
