Back at the bar, things had gotten a lot more hectic. The same mysterious black tar that took Bakugo began to take the other villains, the tar coming out of their mouths like before.
"Stop them before they disappear!" Gran Torino warned.
"Dammit no!" All Might shouted, trying to apprehend the villains. "You won't escape Shigaraki!"
Peter looked a bit disgusted with what was unfolding before his eyes, "This creepy tar reminds me of the symbiote..."
"Spider-Man! Don't just stand there!" Gran Torino shouted, snapping Peter out of it.
"Crap! Gotta move!" Peter said, hoping to act fast.
Unfortunately the villains had escaped, leaving nothing behind but Spider-Man's webbing, and in their place spawned more Nomu. Kamui Woods looked very regretful, feeling like he allowed this to happen. "No! I'm so sorry!"
"Don't blame yourself Kamui!" Peter said, immediately webbing the Nomu. "None of us stopped them either."
"Might have been difficult," Edgeshot said, knocking some out with his quirk. "This seems different from the warp gate, this teleportation targets specific people."
Several Nomu jumped at All Might, trying to take him down, but the hero had other plans. "Oklahoma Smash!"
As All Might knocked all the Nomu out, Peter took a moment to admire his work, "It's so cool that he names his attacks after American states." One Nomu tried to sneak up on Peter, but the hero effortlessly knocked him back.
Outside the pros were battling against the Nomu, Endeavor looking increasingly frustrated, "I thought these were being taken care of!"
"I haven't heard back from Chun-Li!" Tsukauchi said. "I hate to say it, but her mission may have been a failure."
"This is putting too much stress on my power!" Endeavor said, burning one Nomu.
"Not for me," Johnny arrogantly interjected, blasting some Nomu. "Walk in the park."
"Torch, take this seriously!" Twilight scolded, blasting a Nomu.
"Endeavor! Sorceress!" All Might called. "Are you and your team keeping up!?"
"Do I look like I'm having trouble!?" Endeavor asked.
"Dude you just complained about your powers getting strained," Johnny said.
"Johnny!" Twilight scolded, then called up. "All Might, Is Spider-Man safe!?"
"He's fine Sorceress!" All Might said.
"Peni!" Peter called, getting the girl's attention. "Go find Wolverine! Let him know about the villains escaping, he might be able to track them!"
"You got it big brother!" Peni said, flying off to find Logan.
"We'll hold the Nomu off!" Gohan called as he blasted one of the monsters back. "Go do what you two gotta do!"
"All Might," Peter said, getting his attention. "We gotta find where Katsuki and those villains went, quick. My wife, cousin and friends can handle the Nomu here for the time being. Wolverine should be able to join us later."
"Good plan," All Might said. "Let's get to it!"
At the factory, an injured Best Jeanist was seen lying on the ground in pain, completely in shock from what had transpired. All his allies were downed, barely moving an inch.
"I can see why you're so highly ranked Best Jeanist," the villain said, clapping in mock enthusiasm. "That blast should have annihilated everyone present, but you used your quirk at the last second to pull everyone out of harm's way. I'm impressed."
"...It's him..." Best Jeanist muttered, remembering what he had been told once before.
"We believe there is a villain about as strong as All Might. He will be crafty and dangerous, and will not immediately reveal himself. Capture Shigaraki and the others quickly. After that, target their leader."
"Dammit...it wasn't supposed to go like this!" Best Jeanist said, readying his quirk. "Not that it matters!" He began an attack with his threads. "A true hero doesn't do excuses!"
The attack did nothing, and he was met with a strong attack on his own, a massive injury to his stomach, the pain knocking him out.
"Ah, so your strength comes from practical experience rather than raw power," the villain, All for One, had said. "I don't need your quirk after all, it would conflict with Tomura's position."
Outside the students and pros looked horrified by what they were seeing, this villain had made quick work of several heroes, one being critically injured.
"Who is this guy!?" Shoto wondered, his eyes showing fear.
"He took out a bunch of pros in an instant!" Kirishima realized, feeling horrified.
"What are we dealing with?" Ochako wondered, covering her mouth to resist the urge to scream out in fear. "Are we doomed to die here?"
"This guy's no joke!" Rina was shaking, her knees trembling with fear. "Why am I scared!? I'm Rina Howlett! I can't be scared! My dad wouldn't be scared! Laura wouldn't be scared! It's not in my genes to feel fear!"
"We should run, I know this..." Momo couldn't move.
"Why won't my legs go?" Tenya asked himself.
"My body is frozen...I can't move!" Izuku knew it wasn't a quirk, it was his own fear that stopped him.
Deadpool quickly reached for his gun, "Pinkie, get these kids out of here."
"What are you planning?" Pinkie asked.
"Don't worry about it, you go and I'll stay to the back, if this guy comes after us, you make a run for it and I'll distract him," Deadpool said.
"Wade, that guy just took out a bunch of pros! Including Chun-Li, Gambit and Best Jeanist," Pinkie said.
"Hey he can't be as bad as Doctor Doom or Magneto right?" Deadpool said. "I'll be fine, just go!"
"But..." Pinkie was hesitant to leave her husband behind, then the students heard someone familiar.
"Dammit! What the hell?" it was Bakugo. He had been teleported in front of All for One.
"Kacchan?" Izuku realized.
"My apologies Bakugo," All for One said.
Suddenly the other villains began emerging, several feeling disgusted.
"That was so gross," Toga whined.
"This black stuff reeks!" Twice said. "I love it!"
"Not the first time I've been covered in a tar like substance," Scorpion commented. "At least that stuff didn't make me feel like vomiting."
"How'd we get here? Pyro wondered.
Shigaraki bowed down to All for One, "Master..."
"You failed once again Tomura," All for One said. "But don't feel discouraged, you'll try again, and your associates will help. Including this child, whom you judged as an important piece on your game board."
"Who is he supposed to be?" Avalanche asked, gesturing to All for One.
"Shush Dom, he's still talking," Boom scolded.
All for One paid no mind to Avalanche, instead he held his hand out to Shigaraki, "Start over as many times as needed, I will be here to guide you."
"Don't freak out," Izuku told himself, hearing all this from nearby. "I don't want to make the same mistake I did last time! Because of me Kacchan was taken! I can't let fear stop me!" Izuku looked back. "I don't think their leader spotted us just yet, otherwise he'd be more discreet when talking. Now there's about six or seven meters between me and Kacchan, I could use Full Cowling and get there in a second, but I don't have a decent escape plan. In the end, I would just be putting myself, Kacchan and likely my friends in danger. Deadpool and Pinkie Pie could back us up, but I don't want to needlessly complicate things," Izuku gripped his fists in frustration. "I gotta do something! Otherwise, this was a waste of time!"
As Izuku turned, wanting to take action, he a hand grabbing the back of his shirt. He turned and saw Pinkie Pie with what was probably the most serious face he's seen from her, the woman shaking her head 'no'. From the looks of things, the others were just as freaked, many of them unsure what to do. Tenya of course was ready to step in and prevent anyone from going out there, same with Deadpool.
"Ah...you're here," All for One said.
"Shit!" Deadpool was ready to fight when a huge shockwave occurred out of nowhere.
Arriving in time to potentially save the day was All Might, going for a punch that was blocked. "Return my student, All for One!"
"Here to kill me once again?" All for One taunted. "All Might!"
The shockwave knocked all the villains back as well, the kids and pro duo nearby standing their ground.
"You sure took your time to find us," All for One taunted. "The bar is five kilometers away, but you took thirty seconds to act. You have gotten weaker."
"You're one to talk," All Might said. "Especially with that life support mask."
"That guy held All Might back with his bare hands!" Bakugo realized. "So he is the boss villain then."
"All Might!" Came Peter's voice, the hero landing nearby. He got a good look at All for One. "No one told me Darth Vader was in town."
"Ah, and you brought Spider-Man with you," All for One said. "How delightful, I don't believe we've actually met in person."
Peter turned to All Might, "That the guy you were talking about? From that big fight you had five years back?"
"That's the one," All Might said, getting ready for a battle. "Difference between then and now is that I won't make the same mistake."
"Is that so?" All for One asked, condescendingly.
"Look down upon me all you want, I will make this victory a reality," All Might said. "After I rescue young Bakugo, I will make sure you stay locked up for the rest of your miserable life!"
"Such determination," All for One said as All Might lunged at him with a punch. He used wind powers to knock the hero back, the debris covering the area and blinding the others for a bit. "Air Cannon plus spring like limbs. Kinetic Booster times four, strength enhancer times 3. What a delightful combination."
"You done bragging to yourself!?" Peter said, lunging in. "I'm here too, remember!"
"I have not forgotten," All for One said, stepping aside from Peter's punch, then hardened his arm to whack the hero in the back, knocking him against the wall Izuku and company were hiding behind.
"Spider-Man!" Ochako shouted in sorry before getting shushed by Kirishima.
"Don't blow our cover!" the boy pleaded.
Bakugo had waved off the smoke and noticed some of the destruction, "Where's All Might!?"
"He'll be fine, that wasn't nearly enough to kill him," All for One said. He turned his attention to Shigaraki, "Make your exit Tomura, and take this child with you." Using another quirk, grabbed Kurogiri. "Use your warp Kurogiri."
"Easy, one of the heroes messed with him and he's unconscious!" Magne warned. "Plus if you can teleport, can't you get us out of here?"
"My warp abilities are still new, and I have not yet adjusted myself to it," All for One said. "It's distance is limited. Plus, Kurogiri is able to transport people to specific coordinates. I can only transport people to and from my location, or someone I'm very familiar with if I concentrate enough. It's easier if Kurogiri does it." All for One finally activated the warp gate, "Forcible quirk activation!"
"That's actually pretty neat," Avalanche said.
All for One turned to Shigaraki, "You may go now."
"What about you?" Shigaraki asked.
"Yeah mate, what's your plan?" Pyro asked. Suddenly they noticed a rumble in the distance, All Might was coming back and he did not look happy. "Oh that ain't good."
All for One took to the air, "You've still got much room for growth Tomura."
"You're mine!" All Might shouted, going for another punch that All for One blocked.
"So, that's your master, huh Tomura?" Pyro asked. "Magneto's old pal?"
"Yes, he's quite powerful," Shigaraki said.
"You can discuss this later!" Compress said as he used his quirk to pick up Kurogiri. "While our masked lead is entertaining All Might, let us claim our prize."
Bakugo turned to see that he was surrounded, "Huh, this'll be fun."
"No!" All Might went to help but All for One blocked him. "Dammit Spider-Man! Snap out of it!"
Down below, Peter was slowly recovering from All for One's punch, "That guy hits hard, didn't expect that much power." He quickly turned to see what was happening. All Might was engaged with All for One in the skies while the League surrounded Bakugo. "Oh no, Katsuki!"
"Spider-Man's back on his feet," Magne said. "What should we do?"
"What we always do to heroes," Dabi said, readying fire. "Let's take him out before we nab the kid."
"Yeah, we have the advantage," Boom said. "All of us against him."
"Careful now," Scorpion warned. "Spider-Man is used to fighting groups. Be smart about approaching in large numbers."
"Wow, didn't remember you being this intelligent, Scorpy," Peter taunted.
"I'll never get used to that smart-mouth attitude of his," Scorpion said.
"Personally I hate the idea of attacking Spider-Man, he actually lives up to the mantle of hero," Spinner said. "It would go against Stain's ideals if I were to engage against him."
"If it bothers you that much, then go restrain the kid," Pyro said, reading some fire. "I'll gladly take down Spider-Man."
"Not alone," Dabi said, readying his own fire. "Bringing down Spider-Man will definitely shake the resolve of the public, and I want to be part of that."
"Shouldn't take us too long to capture Katsuki Bakugo," Toad said, focusing on the boy, along with the other villains. "All of you can deal with Spider-Man while we're busy, this won't take long."
Izuku noticed from nearby, looking incredibly worried Bakugo's safety, "All Might is busy fighting All for One. Spider-Man's there too but he's got his own villains to deal with! What should we do? Is Kacchan going to get taken again!?"
Twice tried attacking with his rulers, Bakugo was quick to avoid them, but barely dodged Toga's knife. Using his powers, he created some distance between himself and two of his attackers.
"I respect your quirk a lot kid!" Boom said, tossing some bombs. "You could have been a great sidekick for me!"
Bakugo leapt away, trying to figure out a plan, "These guys know I'm screwed! I'm heavily outnumbered! And they're willing to drag me out of here by force!" He noticed Compress coming for him and quickly dodged out of the way. "I can't let that magician get me again!" He looked around and saw Spider-Man fighting off Scorpion. "Maybe if I help Spider-Man lighten the load I can make a getaway. Dammit, I don't like the idea of him or anyone having to rescue me, but I don't think I have a choice here."
"Bakugo! I'll save you!" All Might tried to help the boy, but All for One grabbed him with his tendrils.
"I don't think so, because I Am Here!" All for One mocked as he tossed away All Might.
"All Might!" Peter kicked Scorpion away, wanting to focus on All for One himself.
"Going somewhere!" Dabi shouted, sending some fire to block his path, Pyro using his abilities to enhance the fire into a circle. Peter jumped through the flames and attempted to web the two flame users, but Magne rammed into him, knocking the experienced hero back. Avalanche used his powers to make the ground shakier for Spider-Man and hoped to throw him off balance.
Thinking quickly, Peter webbed away to the nearby wall, then rebounded off to punch Avalanche, and then turned to kick an oncoming Twice. Compress attempted to grab him but Peter flipped him over, sending him hurdling toward Boom.
Magne attempted to attack with a giant cinderblock, Peter quickly dodging, "Nice try, man!"
"Excuse me, I'm a woman!" Magne insisted, taking Peter by surprise.
"Uh...really?" Peter said, eyeing the villain. "You don't look like one."
"How dare you! Hero types are so inconsiderate!" Magne tried to whack Peter, the hero stopping the blow.
"Taking a student hostage is fine, causing immense property damage is fine, but getting someone's gender wrong?" Peter punched Magne back, knocking the villain toward the wall. "Total travesty."
"That guy made the laziest attempt to look like a woman too," Deadpool mentally joked.
"Alright, gotta-" Suddenly his Spider Sense went off and turned to stop Shigaraki from grabbing him.
"Spider-Man!" Shigaraki shouted, his voice filled with venom. "You're just as annoying as All Might!"
"And you're way too grabby!" Peter kicked Shigaraki back as he once again attempted to web him, but again had to dodge when his spider sense warned him about Toad throwing a piece of concrete at him. "This is troubling, I should contact Twilight or Johnny. Or see if Logan's close. Though there is the trouble with those Nomu, one of them nearly took out All Might, I hope they weren't too much on everyone else."
Izuku continued to observe from nearby, feeling very apprehensive, "Kacchan's surrounded, All Might is stuck and even Spider-Man has his hands full. Dammit, I want to help, but heroes in training are not allowed to fight! If we do, we're breaking the law!"
Deadpool readied his weapons again, "Change of plan, I'm going in, Pinkie, please just get these kids to safety. I'm gonna go provide cover for Spider-Man."
"Are you going to kill them?" Rina asked.
"No, I loaded some mercy bullets and I'm using my sharpless blades. As a pro hero, and former member of The Avengers, I kind of have to limit the killing if I can help it," Deadpool said.
"Wait, hold on!" Izuku said. "I have a plan!"
"Midoriya, no!" Tenya said. "Let Deadpool handle this! We're not allowed to fight, remember!"
"I have another way to resolve this!" Izuku insisted. "We can grab Kacchan without the need for combat!"
"Kid, no," Deapdool said.
"Just listen to Tenya," Pinkie said. "It's not worth risking your own safety!"
"Please hear me out!" Izuku shouted. "If we can get Kacchan out of the way, all the heroes can fight without holding back! Including you! Please, let us help!"
"Wow, you're gutsy, reckless and you have a one-track mind in being a hero, huh?" Deadpool asked. "I respect that in another person."
"Don't encourage him Wade," Pinkie warned.
"He's a smart kid Pinkie, you know what, I think he can pull off a plan, plus it'd be a lot easier to fight without worrying about that Bakugo kid getting hurt," Deadpool said.
"Ugh, fine," Pinkie said. While she wanted to believe in Izuku, she was still worried about him getting hurt. But she had to respect his determination. "Alright Izuku, tell us your plan."
As Spider-Man continued fighting off the League to help Bakugo, All Might continued brawling with All for One.
"You seem to be holding back, trying to keep the boy safe from the full extent of your power are you?" All for One asked. All Might leapt back, realizing that his enemy had figured some things out. "Quite the predicament, isn't this?"
Spider-Man had just kicked Toad back and dashed toward Bakugo, "Hey kid!" Toga tried tossing some knives his way, of course he easily deflected them, then quickly had to dodge fire from Dabi. "These freaking villains are relentless!"
Spinner tried attacking Bakugo, getting blasted back as a result, "All Might can't go all out as long as I'm here! If I don't help Spider-Man clear these goons, he's screwed!"
Back with the group, Tenya looked amazed yet concerned by Izuku's plan, "Are you out of your mind!?"
"Kacchan would have realized All Might's situation," Izuku said. "How he's holding back to avoid being caught in a shockwave."
"Yes, I agree," Shoto said.
"Right now Kacchan is trying to keep some space between himself and the villains, and with Spider-Man there helping out, it would give us room to go in for the rescue," Izuku said. "Deadpool, you can help Spider-Man distract the other villains as well, that will give us enough time to grab Kacchan and leave."
"You got it mini-Hulk," Deadpool said.
"Mini Hulk?" Ochako asked.
"Kid in green, super strong, pretty intelligent, tell me you don't see the resemblance," Deadpool said.
"I certainly do, this is an awesome plan Deku, you're quite an intelligent kid," Rina said. "Is this alright with the rest of you?"
"I'm in," Ochako said.
"Same," Kirishima added.
Tenya still looked concerned, "This feels like a big gamble, but all things considered, it is out best choice of action."
Izuku, Rina and Kirishima latched onto Iida as he prepared to use his quirk. With Izuku's abilities, Tenya's speed, as well as Kirishima's hardening and Rina's claws, the four broke through the wall, distracting the nearby villains, and even getting Peter's attention.
"Izuku?" He couldn't believe his eyes.
Shoto then created a giant ice wall for Tenya to carry his team on, the four speeding up the ice. As this went on, Deadpool did his best to help distract. "Hey assholes!"
"Deadpool!?" Pyro shouted as the Merc with a Mouth ran in firing his guns, the villains ducking for cover.
Izuku called down from above, "Kacchan! Up here!"
"Huh?" Bakugo looked confused and distracted.
"Kacchan! Up here!" Izuku called as he held his hand out.
"Come on Bakugo!" Kirishima called.
This hesitation nearly cost Bakugo as Shigaraki was closing in. Suddenly a surprise assistant came out of nowhere, "You so owe me for this."
"Huh!?" Suddenly Bakugo was lifted by Mayday, the young girl aggressively flinging the student toward Izuku's group.
"Is that Mayday!?" Izuku shouted in disbelief.
"Eijiro! Grab him!" Mayday called out.
"DAMMIT WEB GIRL!" Bakugo shouted as Kirishima reached out to grab his hand.
"Got ya bud!" Kirishima said, pulling Bakugo to safety
"Kacchan! Are you ok?" Izuku asked.
"Clam it!" Bakugo shouted.
"Yeah, he's fine," Izuku felt relieved.
"Bakugo, quick!" Tenya said. "We need you to-"
"Hey don't start ordering me around!" Bakugo said.
"Focus moron!" Rina said. "Ochako's quirk won't hold us forever!"
True to Rina's words, Ochako was focusing to make sure they stayed perfectly safe in the air.
"Good, this is our chance Yaoyorozu," Shoto said.
"I'll keep Ochako safe for the moment, you two go, I'm trusting you to get to safety," Pinkie said.
"We promise, thank you," Shoto said, running off with his classmate.
"He's safe," Mayday said, taking a quick look around. "Time to take my leave. Good luck daddy!"
In an instant, Mayday webbed off, Peter looking confused, "Where did she come from?" Regardless he was relieved, seeing Bakugo safe with his classmates, "I don't know how Izuku got here, but he might have really helped us out big time. Same with his classmates, what amazing teamwork." He then felt a little concerned for a moment, "I hope they don't end up in hot water over this though, they technically didn't break any rules since they didn't engage the villains, but there are those other quirk laws." He remembered he was in the middle of a fight, "Worry about that later, gotta stop The League and The Brotherhood."
Shigaraki looked furious at the interference of Izuku and his classmates, "Dammit! Why did that kid show up again!"
"Seriously!?" All Might said, somewhat annoyed that the students came by too.
"Someone stop them!" Compress said. "Who can do distance!?"
"Dabi and I got this!" Pyro said, both he and Dabi ready to fire, but Peter had webbed them both and flung them toward the factory.
"Don't think so!" the hero said.
"Curse you Spider-Man!" Compress said.
"Compress, Spinner, here, hurry!" Magne said.
Villain Magne, quirk: Magnetism. He can create a magnetic force between anyone of a 4.5 radius, Men as South Poles and Women as North Poles. He cannot magnetize himself.
In a hurry, Magne's quirk was used to propel Compress up with assistance from Spinner.
"Crap no!" Peter shouted. He thought about webbing the villain, but he knew the dangers. Evil or not, he did not want to kill Compress.
Fortunately Mount Lady had used her quirk at the last second to block Compress, the magician's force hitting her face and knocking her loopy.
"Was that Mount Lady!?" Izuku wondered.
"Rescue is priority," Mount Lady said as she lost consciousness. "Be safe, you little brats."
"Dammit!" Magne said. "Quick let's-"
"Here comes the Boom!" Came Johnny's voice as he used his fire to blast Magne and Spinner.
"The Human Torch is there!" Kirishima pointed out.
"He's not alone," Izuku noticed, seeing not only Rainbow Dash, but Gran Torino. The older hero had sped in and knocked out Avalanche while Rainbow Dash knocked out Boom-Boom.
"Did we miss one?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"You pests!" Came Scorpion, the villain rushing at the two. "I tire of your interference!"
Suddenly Remy appeared out of nowhere with his staff, "Hey ya varmint!" By the time Scorpion realized what was happening, he had taken a strong blow to the face, courtesy of Remy's staff. "That's for Applejack!" He whacked him a few more times, almost relentlessly, leaving Scorpion knocked out with bruises swelling up and blood dripping down his mouth.
"Whoa, never seen Remy so ticked off," Rainbow Dash said. "Of course I would have done the same thing."
Suddenly Remy keeled over, still in bad shape from what happened earlier with All for One, and trying to use his staff to keep himself propped up. Rainbow Dash rushed to check on him, the hero holding out his hand, "I'm fine, just need to shake this off."
"Rainbow Dash, Gran Torino, Gambit!" All Might called.
"Sup All Might, sorry we're late, those Nomu were a pain," Rainbow Dash said, flying over to the hero. "Johnny and I came here with the old man as soon as we could."
"Hey who are you calling old?" Gran Torino said, mildly annoyed. "All Might, you saw the kid right? Really turning out like you, not a compliment by the way."
"You mean Izuku?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Hey I don't know about you old timer, but I see a kid who's willing to take risks to be a hero."
"Of course one of Spider-Man's friends thinks that," Gran Torino said. "Birds of a feather after all."
"Truthfully, I didn't think he'd come after what happened in Hosu," All Might said. "Damn teenagers."
"Well back in Hosu, they made the mistake of going after a villain," Johnny said. "Here, they just came to rescue our hot-headed buddy, so points for maneuvering around the system."
"No law against helping a friend out," Remy said.
"Hey Gambit! Johnny! Skittles!" Peter said, tossing aside a recently knocked out Toad and zipping over. "Looks like you two brought grandpa Fast Man."
"Put a sock in it," Gran Torino said. "When you came with All Might, I figured you could handle a bunch of low-level thugs and rescue the boy without Izuku Midoriya endangering himself."
"Hey in my defense, I had to hold back too, mainly since Katsuki was around and I didn't want to make a mistake, plus I wasn't too familiar with some of their quirks or fighting styles," Peter said.
"You're good bro, we can handle the rest," Johnny said.
"Probably don't have to," Rainbow Dash said, taking note of Deadpool's fight with Twice.
"Wow, Deadpool! It's a real honor to meet you!" Twice said, attacking with his weapons. "Die you worthless hero!"
"Ugh, are you really supposed to be a parody of me or something?" Deadpool said, dodging Twice's attacks. "Now I know how Slade feels."
"Comparing me to you, that's truly an honor!" Twice said, still attacking. "I'm nothing like you! I'll never be like you!"
"You alright there pal?" Deadpool asked, dodging the strikes. "Is this some weird gimmick thing?"
"I am no gimmick, I am Twice!" the hero said, shifting emotions again. "I keep talking to myself, send help!"
"Even I'm getting creeped out by this," Deadpool said.
As Twice tried for a strike, Deadpool parried and kneed him in the stomach and then used his non-lethal katana to strike him hard in a pressure point.
"Twice!" Toga ran to help but Deadpool threatened her with one of his guns.
"These bullets are fake but they'll still hurt," Deadpool warned. Shigaraki came to attack but Deadpool leapt out of the way. "Not gonna fall for your tricks a second time!"
"Really wish I killed you when I had the chance," Shigaraki said.
"Dude, how?" Deadpool said. "I told you my healing is top level, nothing you could do can kill me."
"Tomura, what do we do?" Toga asked. Unfortunately, Shigaraki had no immediate answer. He was confused and somewhat worried, something Deadpool took notice of.
"This guy hasn't changed much since the USJ, only this time he brought weirdo friends with him," Deadpool glanced over to Twice. "I'm really worried about that other guy, he might have some legit personality issues. Sometimes I struggled with for years. If not for the help of my friends and family, I would still be hearing annoying voices in my head in the forms of white and yellow boxes."
All for One pulled himself out of some rubble he got knocked into. "Ah, The Human Torch and his wife Rainbow Dash. It truly is an honor to meet a member of The Fantastic Four, and one of Equestria's fiercest warriors. You even brought Shimura's old friend."
"Who's Shimura?" Johnny asked.
"Tell you later," Gran Torino said.
All Might coughed up a bit, trying to maintain his form. "It's shameful that I needed the help of my students, but thanks to them, I don't need to hold back. You're finished!"
"Hey All Might, there's still two more villains," Peter said. "We'll finish them off and then help you with this guy."
"Please, I don't want to die in this place!" Toga said.
"No one's gonna kill you, unlike you, heroes have a sense of decency and morale," Deadpool said.
"Like that's ever stopped you. I know about your past Deadpool, the past of many so-called pros," Shigaraki said. "You hero types are so hypocritical."
"I'm not perfect, no one is, and believe me, you're lucky that no one is willing to hurt you, especially Spider-Man," Deadpool said. "Considering that you did threaten to kill his niece, a girl he loves her like a second daughter, things could be a lot worse for you. Warning though, he might still be pretty ticked off about that."
"Oh believe me, I am," Peter said, marching over to Toga and Shigaraki. "Don't think I forgot what you tried to do to Flurry, or Izuku for that matter, Shigaraki. I can't wait to put you behind bars, where you'll never get your filthy hands on them."
"Don't count on it, when I get out, I'll personally seek your family out, and one by one, I will-" Shigaraki's threat was silenced when Peter punched his stomach, not hard enough to knock him out, but still hard enough to make him really feel it.
"That's enough of that," Peter warned. "Don't say things you're going to regret later!"
"Tomura!" Toga ran to attack Spider-Man with a spare knife but Peter knocked the weapon from her hand in a heartbeat and webbed it to the ground.
"Kids like you shouldn't be touching such dangerous items," Peter said, standing over a slightly frightened Toga, glaring at her with his blank stare of his mask. This display just startled her more as the girl quickly scurrying back to Shigaraki.
"You're way out of your league little girl," Johnny said, walking over with Rainbow Dash. "I mean, how old are you? Thirteen? Fourteen? Shouldn't you be in school and not running away to join the circus? Because that's basically what you losers are, a circus act that just isn't entertaining."
"There you go again, berating others," Shigaraki said, struggling to stand. "How am I the villain when you can verbally degrade us? Make us feel like trash."
"You did it to yourself," Rainbow Dash said. "You chose to be evil, now you gotta pay the consequences."
Shigaraki's rage started to spike, the audacity of these so-called heroes, acting like they know anything about what he's gone through in life, it was enough to make him seethe in anger.
"Tomura?" Toga said, sensing her leader's anger.
"Such self-righteousness, acting like you can do no wrong!" Shigaraki shouted. "Tell me this then, what makes you better than any of us!?"
"I can list about ten things," Rainbow Dash said.
"But, we won't," Peter said. "Listen, I could lecture you all day, but I've been around long enough to know that words can't always reach a person. But, despite what you've done, and the things you're threatening to do, I like to believe in second chances."
"Second chances?" Shigaraki asked, almost amazed by what he's hearing.
"You have what it takes to turn your life around and become a better person, both of you do. It's up to you if you want that for yourselves. If you surrender now, that would be a good first step toward a path of redemption," Peter said.
Shigaraki couldn't believe this, now suddenly Spider-Man wants to act like the nice guy, but far as he was concerned, the webbed hero was just patronizing him. "You think it'll be that easy to get me to surrender? Huh!? You think it's that simple!?"
"I just want you to drop this terrible life you're leading, I mean, how old are you anyway? It's hard to tell with that hand on your face but, you seem kind of young, both of you do," Peter said. "You don't want to throw your life away like this at such young ages, it's not worth it!"
"Seems worth it to me, I'm about to live out my destiny, which means you and you hero types are not long for this world," Shigarkai said. "Once Master kills All Might, that is just the first step in eradicating the likes of you. I spent too long building my party, and now we're going on the grind."
"Japan and their RPGs, am I right?" Deadpool joked.
"Look, Tomura, don't make a mistake, there's gotta be some way to change your mind," Peter said. "I mean, isn't there anything you care about? Anyone you care about? Do you have parents? Or any family? I mean what would they think if they knew you'd turn out like this?"
Shigaraki's eyes widened at the mere thought of his family, a rage triggering inside him as he started breathing heavily.
"Tomura?" Toga said, feeling worried for her comrade.
Shigaraki continued to rage, just glaring at Spider-Man, a fury he hasn't felt in a while. "What the hell do you know about my family!? You bastard! I'll kill you! I'll make you suffer!" The image of this hero disintegrating to dust ran through his mind, it's a hope he wants to make a reality.
"Hey, Tomura, you still with me there?" Toga asked.
"Is he always like this?" Peter asked the female villain. "Also what's your story? And why are you on his side?"
"I'm not gonna tell you, you're the enemy," Toga said.
"We don't have to be though, like I said before kid, I don't want you pursing this type of life, you deserve better than a future of villainy," Peter said.
"We can help you, all of you," Rainbow Dash said. "It doesn't have to end with fighting, me and my friends are pretty good at turning villains into better people."
Peter extended his hand to Toga, the girl still confused by all this, "Make the right choice. You'll still have to face charges for any crimes you committed, but I've seen villains turn around for the better."
Toga seemed hesitant, she can't trust a hero, she believes they're just a bunch of government pawns, probably trained to do anything it takes to bring a villain down, even false promises of a better life. "What makes you think I can trust you?"
Peter removed his mask, looking the girl in the eyes. Truthfully she found herself enamored with the hero, while she's seen pictures of him unmasked, he looked a lot more handsome up close.
"I'm not asking you as Spider-Man, I'm asking you as Peter Parker," the hero said. "You don't have to be a villain; you can be better."
Toga still felt hesitant, even if she almost wanted to believe Peter. But, even if she could trust him, there's no way she could trust anyone else. Even heroes are pawns of higher power. "I...can't..."
"Trust me, Himiko," Peter said.
It amazed the girl that Peter knew her name, of course he was present when her identity got busted, but it was impressive he remembered. Shyness took over, the girl looked away, biting her nails a bit, "You...you're so kind...I didn't know a hero could be so kind."
Peter seemed relieved, he thought he was getting through to her, until he heard her laughing. It started as a cute chuckle, then started becoming a bit deranged, the girl looked up at Peter, a smile that nearly sent shivers down his spine and a look in her eyes that chilled his blood.
"You're such a sweet guy Peter Parker, you're everything a girl wants, someone strong to make her feel safe, but sensitive enough to make her feel loved. You're so charming and charismatic...it does make me want to go with you. But...oh we can't be together, can we? You're a happily married man, with a daughter close to my age. At the same time, you're cuter than most boys I know, I bet you'd be even cuter with that face covered in blood."
"Uh, Peter, maybe put a nix on this plan, she's clearly insane," Rainbow Dash said.
"Maybe, but...I can't turn this chance away," Peter said.
"Peter, I know you're worried, and that you have a soft spot for girls, but not everyone can be redeemed," Johnny said. "She might be a lost cause."
Something tells me that guy with the hand on his face might be a lost cause too," Rainbow Dash said. "Where did you even get that from?"
"Yeah, kind of creepy," Johnny said.
"Johnny! Dash!" Peter scolded. He focused back on Toga, her smile still putting him off, but he couldn't let that stop him. He began walking toward her, ready to take her in, even if he needs to use force. "I've seen girls your age throw your lives away because they were tricked by some villains." A flash of a girl with blue curly hair and freckles passed through his mind, then again when he imagined the image of a blonde-haired girl levitating a piece of ground above her head. "I'm not letting that happen again!"
As he got close, Shigaraki stood between the two, "Back...off..."
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you either. You're barely older than she is, you're just some misguided kid, someone needs to set you straight," Peter said.
"Who the hell do you think you are telling me that I need to be set straight!?" Shigaraki shouted, pulling his hand away and getting in Peter's face. The hero noticed the number of scars the villain had, making him worry. "You don't know a damn thing about me!"
"Has...someone hurt you?" Peter asked. "A villain? A bully? Was it...anyone in your family?"
That began to set Shigaraki off, "I hate you..." Shigaraki's eyes widened as he glared a hole through Peter. "I want you dead...and you're still not dead! You're just as bad as All Might!" Shigaraki's rage filled his body, his desire for Spider-Man's destruction on the rise. "Heroes like you do nothing for people like me! We suffer because of you! Because of the example you set on society! The weak are worthless and too afraid to do anything! You're no heroes! None of you are! You're cowards! A bunch of damn cowards! That's the society you've created! Mindless, useless, spineless cowards!"
"That's quite enough," All for One said, getting everyone's attention. "Tomura, please restrain your emotions, Spider-Man meant no harm, at least not in the way he intended."
"What the heck are you going on about?" Peter asked the boss villain.
"I must say though, you are quite the motivator Spider-Man, seeing you reach out to not one, but two of my comrades. I'm impressed with all of you, interesting way to turn the tables." All for One then forcibly activated Magne's quirk, sending a few of the male villains the way of Toga, the girl looking confused, then worried.
"Whoa, whoa! Too fast! Too-" Toga got knocked into Kurogiri's warp gate along with the other male villains.
Shigaraki was right at the edge, trying to pull away, "Wait! Master! You're still not 100%!"
"Not so fast!" Gran Torino said, attempting to stop Shigaraki, but All for One used his tendrils to attack him as he tossed Magne toward the gate.
Johnny and Rainbow Dash attempted to stop All for One but both were knocked back as well before he wrapped around Spider-Man's ankle and flung him aside.
"Hey jackass!" Deadpool shouted, running in with his swords. The moment he attacked All for One, the villain blocked with his arm, hardening it enough to break both swords in an instant. He then used his air cannon to blast Deadpool back into the debris.
"Boss!" Pyro called, dragging over Dabi and Boom, trying to get to the portal.
"That Pyro?" Remy said, taking note of the Brotherhood member.
"Pull me away Pyro! I must help my Master!" Shigaraki pleaded.
"I will be fine Tomura," All for One said. "Pyro, if you please, keep an eye on him in my absence."
"Sure thing, bigger boss," Pyro said, helping his teammates into the portal.
"Pyro!" Remy called, getting the villain's attention.
"Hey Gambit, wish I could stay to 'catch up', but I gotta go. Give Bobby Drake my regards," Pyro said, helping Shigaraki through the portal, against the villain's wishes.
"No! I won't go!" Shigaraki said, desperately trying to pull away. Unfortunately for him, he was pulled through the portal, Pyro leaping in before it fully closed.
"Tomura, you must continue the fight," All for One said.
All Might went for a punch, but All for One had warped Gran Torino right in front, the older hero taking the full force of the blow, much to the Symbol's concern. "I'm so sorry!"
"I just came to save Tomura, but if you wish to fight, so be it," All for One said. "In the past, your fists crushed my comrades one after the other. You forced them into the shadows while you paraded yourself as the Symbol of Peace. You must have had quite the view from on top of our sacrifices. Standing on the mountain of many defeats."
"Detroit..." All Might charged as he pulled Gran Torino out the way. "SMASH!"
While All for One did not pull any other hero in front, he still managed to block the attack by his own power.
"You are still holding back!" All for One said as All Might leapt back. "Are you that worried for the people you swore to protect?"
Peter tried to kick All for One, but the villain blocked and punched him in the stomach, then used his tendrils to toss him near All Might.
"Spider-Man! Let me handle this! I've got it under control!" All Might said.
"Are you sure about that?" Peter asked, placing his mask back on. "This guy might be tough."
"Brave, aren't you, All Might?" All for One taunted.
"Be silent villain!" All Might warned. "I am tired of the way you constantly toy with people! Always manipulating! Always scarring! You hurt the people who only wish for happy lives!"
All Might lunged again, but as All for One went to stop the attack, All Might grabbed his wrist and twisted it.
"I won't let this continue!" All Might said. He followed up with a massive punch to All for One's face, breaking his mask.
Gran Torino slowly stood up, both Johnny and Rainbow Dash helping him.
"You alright there gramps?" Johnny asked.
"I'm not your gramps," Gran Torino said, then took note of All Might, and the steam emanating from his body. "Oh no..."
As All Might panted in anger, All for One could only laugh sinisterly, "I've heard this before, from someone very familiar to you." All Might knew who he meant of course, the images of his predecessor flashing through his mind. "Nana Shimura."
As this happened, one hero was flying in from the distance, hoping to reach the location of battle in time, that hero being the Man of Steel, Superman. Between seeing Lois on TV, in addition to having received a tip from Tsuckauchi, the Kansas raised hero wasted no time embarking to Japan.
"To think, All for One might be resurfacing, after all these years," Superman said to himself. "Hopefully it's just a rumor, but if it's not, the damage could ensue, especially after last time, I don't even want to imagine it. Just hang tight everyone, I'm on my way!"
