My time unconscious was, unfortunately, short. Almost as soon as everything went black, color came back to me. I looked at the floor beneath me, using my feeble arms to get my footing. I hunched over and coughed up a bit of blood, that bitch had some strong legs on her, I'll give her that. My stomach felt like butter, my arms and legs like small, feeble twigs beneath me. I felt someone wrap their arm around my neck and I turned my head to see who it was.

"Are you alright Hoji?" It was Iida, man that guy was a pal. I nodded as he got me fully up to my feet. I was shaking, obviously, but I had some strength left. I looked around. No one on our side was harmed, thank goodness. It looked like a wasteland after that.

While Iida helped me to the gate, I felt my heart start to beat a bit faster as I looked back. My mother, no, Prika, laid limp on the ground. She was helpless, defenseless. The same way Dad was that night. My heart beat increased as I felt something in my stomach. My mind wasn't fully clear, I was helpless to watch my actions play out. I ducked my head under Iida's arm as I made my way to her limp body, a mix of rage and sadness filled my head. Iida tried calling to me, but it went through one ear and out the other. She was unconscious, in addition her Quirk wouldn't let her feel anything. My eyes were dead set on this bitch's body, I had full intention to kill. As I moved in, and on cue, Iida rushed to put himself between us. I stopped just in front of him. "Move."

"Hoji, we're supposed to go back to the gate."

"I said move."

"I don't understand, what's gotten into you? One moment you're out cold and barely had the strength to speak, now you're walking around like nothing happened!"

"Move, now."

"Hoji, I don't know what she did, but just come to the gate," he stopped, looking into my eyes before letting out a sigh, "I read what you're eyes are saying. For the sake of this woman, I will not let you by."

"Iida just move before you get hurt, this isn't a school problem, it's something else," my heart was beating like a drum, as if it'd pop out of my chest if it went any faster."

"Well it happened on our campus, so it's now a school problem," Aizawa cut in, taking a look at me and Iida before going back to the gate, "Hey! Whichever ones of you can still fight get in here!" After that, the majority of Class 1-A came in as Aizawa told them what they were going to do. Soon they all stood beside Iida, looking at me all the same way. My adrenaline started to kick in as I stood before them. I took one step forward, then another before they all circled around me.

With all I had I threw a punch straight at Iida, losing my footing in the process. He dodged right before I collided with Katsuki's knee, causing me to hunch over and stumble back. My heartbeat was back to normal, but it felt more intense as I slowly began losing my hearing. I took another two steps to Iida before this time going for a roundhouse. He grabbed my foot before throwing me to the ground. I got up, shaking like previously. As I moved to throw another attack, a sharp pain struck my rib cage. I winced and tensed up as I grasped my hand over the wounded area. My hearing was now completely gone, the only sound to keep me company was my heartbeat. I made my way back to Iida before he gave me another knee to the stomach. Blood filled my mouth as I fell to the ground, it dripped to the ground as I got back up. The same pain hit me again, only on my other side. Not only that, but my legs refused to work as whenever I tried to stand, I stumbled to the ground. My body ached like hell as I forced myself to stand up. Time was seemingly at a crawl as I moved towards Iida one last time. I attempted an uppercut, but my legs finally gave out. I did, however, feel the full force of another of Iida's kicks. The room was spinning as I moved my hand to push myself up. Now my hands weren't doing what I told them do. I laid there with blood dripping from my mouth, my adrenaline was all but depleted.

Everyone began to walk away, from what it looked like, before a whirring sound filled the silence. Someone looked at Iida, but he shook his head no. It continued to get faster and more high pitched as my mind slowly began to give out and let the blackness take me. Before I embraced the dark, there was a small boom sound as my veins went purple and I rose from the floor. I couldn't think, I wasn't thinking, but I did my blast wave technique again and blew everyone away from me. I took one pain-filled step, then another. My body was searing with pain as the occasional sharp, worse pain struck me. I was almost to her body, my father's death will be atoned for. Before I could take another step, I froze, like stone. Nothing would move as my brain shut down and darkness finally embraced me. I prayed, no I hoped, that death had taken me. I hoped that Hoji Ikimasuta, would be no more.

I was in a sleep of sorts, darkness as far as the eye could see. All was quiet, until the beep of a heart monitor roused me from my slumber. I managed to open my eyes to see the light of the room I was in. My body rose up as I looked around. No gate, no heavenly stairs to the afterlife, I lived through that. I rubbed my head as my ears were graced with a familiar passive aggressive voice.

"Welcome back, ya know you were flat lined for a while, thought we'd have to call to your folks and tell 'em the news," it was the nurse, meaning I was still at U.A. Not even a few minutes passed before there was a knock at my door. I told them that whoever was on the other side they could come in. To my surprise it wasn't Iida, Aizawa, or the Principal, it was Midoriya! Well he brought with him a homeless looking guy in a suit. The homeless man rapidly approached me, stopping at my bedside.

"What the hell, was that?" He hissed as I back up and put up my hands in defense.

"Hey man, I don't know either, I just avoided death like, a minute ago. And who even are you?" That was Midoriya's cue to introduce this man to me. I suppressed yelling in shock as I calmly whispered, "This is really All Might?"

"Yeah."

I sighed, "Okay, now what do you want exactly?"

"I wanted to ask you what that last stand you did was." The details were fuzzy, but I told them both all I could remember. Everything from the pain to my hearing cutting out and the whirring sound. They took it surprisingly well as All Might spoke again. "So when you thought you were about to die, you unleashed a last attempt to try and complete, whatever you were trying to do."

"I guess," I leaned back into the hospital bed, looking up at the lights, "what are they deciding to do with me?"

"Nothing really, this is the first time you did something like that, it was reasonable how it began however, all we wanted to know before you left was what happened with that whole flash of purple and all." I decided not to press further as I grabbed my clothes and threw on my tracksuit. I got up and walked out, trying to find Tsukauchi. For the life of me, I couldn't find him. Guess I had to walk home this time. The setting sun felt like a great background for the walk, like this whole ordeal was going to be over soon. My phone went off from a text, it turns out I got a lot of texts and missed calls, some from Iida, but most from unknown numbers. Reading the texts and listening to the voicemails proved evidence that it was my classmates. I replied to as many texts as I could on the way home, some responding instantly after. During my walk I decided to stop and grab a soda at a convenience store. As I walked out I couldn't help but shake off a feeling of defeat, it's just my tired body I guess. I cracked open the bottle as my phone went off from a phone call. I answered, "Hello?"

"Hoji? Thank goodness you're alright!" It was Uraraka surprisingly, why she'd call to check on me I wouldn't know. I just decided to be polite to her seeing she decided to check on me.

"Yeah I'm fine, you need anything else?"

"Not really, try not to die next time."

"I won't, later," I hung up and took a sip of my drink, before long I got another call. I picked up as I did before, only this time, I couldn't tell who was talking.

"Hoji! Dude, you were such a badass today, managing to stand up like that after all those hits! Man, even I'm jealous!"

"Who is this again?"

"Eijiro Kirishima, from your class."

"Oh sorry! Just, I don't know a lot of people form class, I only know a few names and that's it."

"Alright, but don't forget that was some manly badassery today."

"I won't, see ya," I hung up the phone. At least someone thought that display was cool looking and not totally pathetic. I noticed where I was and decided to pay visit to the man I tried to avenge today. I knew the path like the back of my hand, so it wasn't long before I found myself at the sword with a golden ribbon. I knelt down at the gravestone, grabbing the hilt of the sword. "Long time no see dad, met Mom today, didn't go so well. Did you see me down there though? I almost came up to see you ya know," I laughed a bit at the end, putting my hands on my knees and standing back up, giving a bow of sorts before leaving.

Home wasn't too far from the cemetery, just a few more minutes and I'd be home. But I decided to go slowly to not only make the soda bottle last, but to also admire the sky as it turned to the blackish purple of the night, with trillions of little dots filling it. I wasn't too concerned about telling my folks what happened, just say nothing and go to bed. Having them worry about me almost dying would give Grandma a panic attack. My mind couldn't shake that same feeling of defeat, like I let someone down or didn't give something my all. It loomed over me the whole walk home, sticking like glue to me. I felt relief, when I reached my house and walked through the door. I found Grandma and Grandpa eating dinner when the noticed me home. Rather than doing anything parent like or wondering why I was home late, they just offered me a chair and some food. The meal was mostly silent, thank goodness, and it allowed me time to calm down.

When we all finished I walked up to them while they were sitting in the living room, they were seemingly normal, maybe they didn't hear about what happened today. I walked up to them and asked them a question.

"Do you mind if I have a party this weekend?"

Ladies and Gentleman that'll be all for this chapter! I noticed how fast I've been moving through the arcs and all that, so I decided to let the next few chapters be some filler and maybe help build up a potential ship, but the ship remains uncertain. Anyway, thank you for all the support and I'll see you all next time!
