I groaned. Where was I? Was I alive? I passed out again after trying to save All Might. Or at least get to the man before he decayed. Thats when it came back to me. The USJ. I sprung up right away, ignoring the weight on my chest, and puked in a trash can. I remembered it all. Shigaraki. Fighting him. Him and All Mights fight. Shigaraki getting his face caved in and All Might getting everything in his abdomen pierced. Oh god tell me he was alive. Before I could give myself a crisis of a lifetime I heard a few groans on my legs.

I looked down and saw Kirishima, Ashido, Tsunotori, and Kodai's heads were on my legs. I looked around and saw a sleeping Mineta and Kendo in the other chairs, "Can someone please tell me whats going on and what happened?" My throat was dry. I was sore and tired.

Tsunotori was the first to wake up, "What?" She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked at me in shock, "Your awake! Holy shit your awake!" That woke everyone else up and suddenly I was mobbed in a group hug. Okay I was going to slap myself now. That I did. I wasn't dreaming. How long had I been out?

Kirishima wiped tears out of his eyes, "Your up dude! How? I think your the manliest person I know now!" I thought that was Ashido, "Like you took a beating from the guy that killed All Might and survive!" My heart stopped. Oh god please no. Tell me this was a sick dream. All Might couldn't be dead. That'd throw society into disarray. And poor Midoriya. He worshipped the man.

Before I could respond I felt Kodai wipe tears out of her eyes using my hospital gown, "Don't do anything stupid like that again. You almost died," Huh... I feel odd now. I should have died instead of All Might. Why was I spared? Shigaraki called me his player two. Oh god tell me he wasn't romantically interested in me. Please tell me that.

I put up a smile, "I promised. Remember. I don't break my promises," I was still going to have my head on a pike after today. Oh well. I'd live the rest of my life to the fullest. I felt the hug from Kodai become tighter which probably meant, 'you did but I'm still mad,'

Ashido chuckled, "You promised to bring donuts last time we went to our training spot and you didn't," I mock glared. That was one time okay! "But damnit don't do that again. I put five months into making you a more sociable person and your my dance buddy. I can't have you die on me," I kept up my smile which hurt to do now.

I laid back down, "That was one time... No promises there," I wasn't making a promise I couldn't keep.

Tsunotori lightly punched me. Not enough to hurt, "No. You promise," She then switched to english, "You looked horrible. Your ribs were broken. All of them. And your lung was punctured. Not only that but your heart stopped beating for thirty seconds," Another hug grew tighter and I was given the puppy dog eyes. Damnit I couldn't resist.

I sighed which hurt a lot, " I promise to not do anything stupid or to almost die again," I then grinned, "Nice to see you all show up though. How long was I out?" I didn't want to cry myself. I needed to do that later. Preferably when I was alone. All Might should have lived that day. Or was it today? What day was it? I was happy they were all here with me. It made me... Happy.

Mineta raised three fingers, "Three days. We thought you'd be out much longer but somehow your up... Schools been canceled until Wednesday," Makes sense. Also nice to see I had an actual effect on Mineta. He was taking to therapy well it seemed and he was on anti-depressants. I was the first person he told.

Kendo nodded, "Yeah... Also as Kirishima said. All Might died... He died a day after the USJ incident... there was nothing anyone could do. His funeral is going to be tomorrow," She then put up a braver face, "Now I'm here to say sorry. We should have stopped you from fighting Shigaraki and I'm also here to offer help. I heard from Ashido that your looking to learn martial arts and because of the USJ I believe you would benefit from it," I felt sad now. A funeral this soon? This made me wonder about the sports festival... I hoped that wouldn't happen this soon or it'd be postponed.

My smile dampened, "Thanks you two. Also I'll take you up on that offer this weekend... I feel like shit by the way so can you all please let me go?" I looked down to the hug pile when I said that. They all let me go quickly after that, "How is everyone else?" I put up a mask of bravery.

Kendo sighed, "Worry about yourself first. But we're all fine. Midoriya needed to be healed a bit but he's fine and Aizawa and Cementoss-sensei will live although Cementoss is missing a leg and a chunk of his head so he hand continue hero work," Ouch. Poor dude.

I nodded, "At least we're all alive for the most part,"

We then just sat there in silence until Kirishima finally perked up, "Uh shouldn't we uh go get a nurse or something?"

Tsunotori raised her hand, "I'll do!"

Nezu sighed. This was a shitshow. A complete and utter humiliation of UA. A young man had waltzed in and killed All Might. Although he probably died he still killed the symbol of peace. This was bad. Very bad. Society was already fragile. But this would just collapse it. Not literally but crime would be at an all-time high. They needed to act quick. This was why he had called for a faculty meeting with everyone who could still work, "As you all know things haven't been good these past three days. But we're here to fix that. There are a few main things that need to be addressed. Our loss of All Might and Cementoss, Crime rates being at an all time high in just three days, the sports festival, two heroes looking to replace them, and what we should do about it all. Eraserhead?" He looked to the man himself who was slightly wrapped in bandages.

The man looked defeated. Probably from having his students hold the fort down for him, "I'll start off with the first one which ties into the third one. All Might's loss and death is already public so we look weakened. We can't afford to be weakened right now. So we should hold the sports festival a month later or so, so that way we can train the students well and "make All Might," proud as a celebration of his life," Seemed like a solid option in Nezu's opinion. He looked to Present Mic next for his statement.

Present mic looked saddened today, "I agree with Shouta. We can't really afford to look like this in front of the public and press. They're like vulture's man. They will do anything to destroy UA's reputation and cause this to backfire in a way that'll cause villains to see this as a rallying cry and then we'll be back how we were 40 years ago," Present mic looked back to Nezu who looked at everyone else who nodded in agreement.

Nezu nodded himself, "Alright then that is what we shall do. Although I think we should also hire more heroes. If we want that plan to work then we would need more heroes to help train the students. So this would tie into the fourth topic of today. Midnight what do you think?" Midnight and Present Mic were the two most knowledgeable about the public.

Midnight also looked saddened, "Well I suppose we should take the two heroes up on their offer first. Who are they by the way?" She'd continue to speak after she got the appropriate information. Midnight had some ideas on who to ask to help them.

Nezu really should have included that info the first time, "Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye,"

Ah that changed things. Gran Torino was notorious amongst the UA faculty for generations and Sir Nighteye was All Mights sidekick, "Alright then that changes my list. I assume Torino would be combat and Nighteye would be information? Well that would mean we'd need more of each and another rescue hero so we could have enough for all of our students. I suggest we reach out to Gunhead because he is good at martial arts and I guarantee that all of the students would benefit from knowing some, If not him then Crust would do finely or hell if he'll come back to japan the Skycrawler, For information in general and then the students could branch out to other paths if they wanted too I'd pick, the lurker because of his information gathering skill and hacking quirk, Yellow flash would also work well but he's also more of a combat type And for rescue then the obvious choice would be the Wild Wild Pussycats and they can help in combat training and quirk development too," Good choices. Although the Skycrawler would be hard to reach. He is due back in japan in a few months so a few months early wouldn't hurt him.

Nezu nodded, "Fine choices indeed. I'll send a request to them later on. Now all we need to do is the press conference,"

Everyone collectively shivered and groaned.

"Oh you've got to see this Re-destro!" Re-destro heard one of his closest comrades, Curious shout. She seemed both saddened and ecstatic. Soon she slammed a tablet onto his desk and pointed at it, "This. Changes everything,"

Re-destro picked up the tablet and read the news article and his jaw dropped, "All Might is dead?!" This was fantastic news for them. The Meta-Liberation Army could start making movements against the government again. If they could get the hearts and minds party to win the elections they could use this to further their cause. Or even help it succeed! "This... Is fantastic but also worrying," As good as this was for them, it wasn't good for the world in general. All Might was a pillar. No. The pillar of japan. With him gone, this means that criminal organizations will come out of hiding. Like the CRC or the Shie Hassaikai. Heroes would be run ragged. Perhaps he could ally with some of them for now? That would be brought up soon.

Curious nodded, "Yeah. We can use this though! Imagine the headlines! We could spring this as heroes getting soft because of All Might and because of that they're weak and lazy now. This could be one of the pushes we need!" She was right.

That made Re-destro smile. He beloved seeing his comrades so happy. They were all fighting for true liberation together! And with their strength they would win, "I see. Gather Skeptic and Trumpet and meet me at the meeting room in twenty minutes. Also if you find Geten too. He will need to be here anyways,"

Curious nodded and left quickly which left Re-destro looking over footage of the event. The USJ had been recorded by the villains that attacked the USJ. And somehow they produced a multi quirked man. As a strategist he just felt appalled by what he saw here. Nobody had a cohesive strategy except the three riding the bird for a while and then the horn. The boy was truly impressive and heroic. Re-destro wondered if he'd be interested in the MLA. Probably not but it'd be worth a try. The rest of the students were simply stupid for not using the chance he had given them to escape. It was disappointing. If only he could chew them out himself.

Re-destro sighed knowing that they were still kids. Only a mere fraction of their potential was realized. But he still expected them to be smarter. Sure they stuck around to help their classmate. But he was ready to die. To give them the time to leave and they were throwing that away.

The class was just lucky All Might showed up when he did. But if they weren't there then he'd probably still be alive.

He was just glad his own daughter wasn't as dumb.

Kai Chisaki felt like dancing in glee. Complete and utter glee. All Might was dead! He couldn't believe it! He was dancing in joy because of it! The man who had been making their operations so painstakingly hard was gone and they could focus on gaining more funds now. Hell they might be able to form some alliances. The quirkless battle frontier was looking for some allies the last time he checked. Actually, he had even invited their leader, Ms. Normal for a meeting. She had a disease he liked. On touch the user could erase someone's disease up to ten minutes. That was long enough to kill or cure them.

He heard a knock on his door. From Chronostasis, "Uh boss, Ms. Normal is here to see you," Chisaki. Villain name; Overhaul stopped dancing and opened the door. He was caught... Kill him or not kill him. Tempting. He gave his closest ally a look that said 'Tell anyone and you and your entire bloodline dies'

He walked out with Chronostastis to the meeting room of the Shie Hassaikai's base. It was time to make allies.

"Perfect... With this we can start out operations again," Leader of the CRC Baseline was excited. All Might's existence had stopped them from purifying humanity once more. But now? He was dead! They still couldn't act freely but they could act with much more gusto than before.

Her second in command, Purity smiled, "It almost feels like a dream. We haven't been able to act for so long but now we can finally clear the world of those damned freaks that should never have been born," Her hatred for mutants made her abandon everything. Her family, friends, and dreams to be a hero. She would need to help those dirty mutants after all. But her dream was revived by Baseline. She could be a hero by wiping out those damned mutants.

Baseline grinned, "Its real I assure you dear. We can finally act. We still need to amass enough members. Perhaps we should form an alliance or two? What do you think?" She had some ideas like the quirkless battle frontier. Certainly not the beast supremacy clan. Those fuckers could go die.

Purity put her finger to her chin, deep in thought, "Perhaps the Quirkless Battle Frontier? Maybe them and the Society Reject Avengers? But what if their allied with people as well?" That brought up a good point. Now is the perfect time to make allies.

Baseline nodded, "That would be an issue depending on who they ally with but depending on who they ally with we can also gain more potential allies. So we'll just need to see what we need to do first," Baseline hoped to all that was holy that they could make allies though. If they could then their forces would be massively boosted. They needed that.

Purity nodded in satisfaction, "Okay! So what should we do in the meantime?" Good question. Perhaps a council meeting would be warranted? Yes that would be a fantastic idea.

Baseline hated and loved certain members of her inner council. But they were damn good advisors no matter how much she liked or disliked them, "Get chainlink, DNA, and Apothesis would you?" Purity hated them all more than her. But she'd do it for her leader.

Purity nodded, "I will,"

Baseline smiled, "Thank you dear,"

Wolverine smiled upon seeing the results hit his desk. Oh, boy things were about to get bloody. All Might's death would be a major boon to them all, "Jaguar, call a meeting of the inner beasts please," the large man called out to his smaller, lithe assistant.

The catgirl nodded, "Right away!" She ran off quickly to go call the meeting.

God Wolverine was lucky to have her.

Hades smiled upon seeing the report he got from Apothesis(Not the one in the CRC. They hated each other actually) All Might was dead. The fake that said he supported rejects like them finally died. Hades just wanted to shake the hand of the man who killed him. Although he got his face caved in.

"Apothesis would you be so kind as to get me a coffee and some vodka?" Apothesis was his most loyal follower. He could manipulate the body of anyone he touched. Including his own. He couldn't do anything about quirks but he could manipulate people's bodies to such a high degree that he can change their DNA.

Apothesis nodded, "Right away lord-Hades," He went off to grab his order. Currently he was being kept as an errand boy so he wouldn't go and turn their enemies to mush now that he didn't have All Might breathing down their necks.

What a wonderful world they now found themselves in. But they needed allies, "Oh sweet Raven would you call up our dearest fellow organizations? I would love to form an alliance with one or two," His other most trusted follower nodded and turned into a murder of crows. Useful ability indeed. But deemed evil and creepy by society.

Hades leaned back in his chair. Things were looking good for the rejects.

This is only part one. There is still more to come! I still have a few people's reactions to write out. Mainly [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] Which I'm hyped to write. I'm going to be honest. A few of the organizations I mentioned in this chapter are going to not be relevant. There are some I still need to reveal. Like the house of red. But eh. I'll do that later when they need to be introduced. For now we can just move onto next chapter which I think I will be writing today. I think. Not really sure but who knows.

Also hopefully this answers any questions from last chapter. All Might is dead. I originally planned for him to just retire and get a prostetic arm and him getting a new hero license so he can become Y'all Might but I decided fuck it why not kill him. That makes my life far easier. And now my life is easier and harder at the same time lol.

Anyways hopefully you enjoyed!
