Chapter 44: Tatsuya's Ultra Instinct Awakening!!
Nothing was left of me, there was nothing but a huge crater on the battlefield. All the heroes fell to their knees as they lost their will to fight.
Some of the heroes began to cry. Some screamed out in frustration and regret. And some just stood there in absolute shock. All For One continued to laugh out loud from joy until he and everyone else noticed the ground shaking.
"Do you feel that?" the Male All Might asked.
"Yeah…" Hikaru said.
"What are those tremors?" All For One questioned before he said out loud in realization; "No! It can't be!...".
"The whole Earth is shaking but who or what's causing this? Someone's quirk?" The Sister All Might said out loud.
"If you ask me, there's only one good answer!" Hikaru said as he stood up on his feet and smiled.
A pillar of white light erupted from the crater as everyone turned around or looked up to see it. All For One floated down and stood in front of the crater as the white light disappeared and I appeared in a new transformation.
"Young Tatsuya endured it. But look at him now." The Male All Might said. "What did he do?".
"I don't know how to explain this, but based on what I'm sensing, it's safe to say that he didn't survive on dumb luck." Hikaru said. "Something's different about Tatsuya now, that's for sure. I'm actually sensing an incredible amount of strength from him, and yet his energy is so calm, it's giving me the creeps."
"Let us watch and see what happens next." The brother said. "After all, this is the first time we're seeing Young Tatsuya in this new form of his…".
Once I moved one step, I suddenly appeared in front of All For One in an instant. All For One threw a punch at me, I instinctively dodged it as I threw a punch back at him, but All For One stopped my punch as we ended up clashing fists as it created a powerful explosion.
I jumped back, All For One chased after me as he threw a punch at me, I instinctively dodged it as I jumped forward and suddenly broke a piece of All For One's mask before I checked myself out.
"Tatsuya somehow landed a blow on All For One in a blink of an eye!" The Sister All Might said out loud.
"Amazing! I've never seen Tatsuya move like that before. Not in any form!" Hikaru said out loud. "It's not just that he's a lot faster, It's more than that… I can't sense him transitioning to his attacks at all!".
"Indeed. His dodges are like that as well." The Brother said. "What the hell happened to Young Tatsuya?! I'm watching this with my own eyes but I still can't believe what he's doing is even possible! What has become of Young Tatsuya?!".
Spinner ran towards me with his weapon on my left, Big Sis Magne ran towards me with his weapon on my right, I Instinctively stopped Spinner's attack with my right hand and stopped Big Sis Magne's attack with my left hand, and then I threw them somewhere else towards their group. Dibi and Timura as well as Dabi and Tomura, all attacked me with their quirks, but I sent them all flying with just a shockwave from my punches.
"This is no everyday power-up!" The Brother All Might said. "His Reactions… And such precision… this is crazy…! How is Young Tatsuya doing this…?!".
All For One puts both of his right hand up to the Shigaraki Twins as a sign.
"So our help isn't needed…" Tomura said.
Once I blinked my eyes for a split-second, Me and All For One were fighting in the sky as thunderclouds formed above us and lightning struck the ground.
"S-So… Who has the upperhand now?" the Sister All Might said.
"I don't know… As strong as Tatsuya has become, it seems he's not done improving!..." Hikaru said. "Every time All For One fends off Tatsuya, Tatsuya responds with an even faster, sharper, and harder strike!".
Hikaru suddenly became pissed off as he said out loud; "So you figured out what your Dad was trying to teach us, huh?".
The Brother All Might notices Hikaru in anger and says; "What's wrong, Hikaru? Do you know what this is? Do you know what happened to Tatsuya?!".
"This is… Autonomous Ultra Instinct…!!" Hikaru said in frustration. "It's no wonder he's reacting so quickly! But from what I heard from my dad, it's an extremely difficult level of power that not even the gods themselves could easily master!".
"WHAT!!?" The All Mights shouted in unison in surprise.
Dad appeared behind the All Mights and Hikaru as he then said; "So he really did achieve it. That's my son.".
"You watched what happened didn't you?" Hikaru said. "So… Care to explain how Tatsuya achieved this feat?!".
"Tatsuya's Spirit Bomb served as the catalyst. Tatsuya's Spirit Bomb exploded right as it made impact against Tatsuy'a body. Its tempestuous power coursed into Tatsuya, and smashed into his own energy, which was already pushed to the max." Dad said.
"This was the collision Tatsuya needed to shatter the ceiling of his power, and reach an even greater potential that has always been locked within him, but he could never fully reach." Dad said. "He's now in uncharted territory. And it remains to be seen what will happen to him as he tries to sustain this fervor."
Me and All For One continued to exchange blows until All For One suddenly jumped back, but I suddenly appeared in front of him, face to face… We went back to exchanging blows until I gutted All For One with a double Knee-kick and then I sent All For One flying with a Kamehame-Ha Wave at close-range.
Once All For One had landed on the ground, I appeared in front of him and we ended up fighting all around the battlefield at Hyperspeed. We continued to fight at Hyperspeed until I sent All For One flying with a high-kick.
I noticed the Midoriya, the Kirishima, and the Iida Twins rescuing the Bakugo twins as the pro heroes prevented the villains from interfering.
All For One got back up, he used his Rivet Stab Quirk on the unconscious Kurogiri, All For One used his Forcible Quirk Activation Quirk to use Kurogiri's Warp Gate Quirk, and then warped the League of Villains somewhere else…
"Now that they're all out of the way, we can finally cut loose." I said calmly. "Even though you are a villain, I don't expect you to care about the Innocent People you endangered to provoke your stupid ego."
"You are Absolute Evil. All you do is toy with people, proving their every weakness. You steal, break, manipulate, and even discard them once you have no use for them. You scoff at innocent people who try to have happy lives!" I said. "And for that reason, I will defeat you here and now! It's over, All For One! So come at me with all you got!".
"Oh, don't worry. I heard you for the first time." All For One said calmly and in confidence. "But the only person who will be defeated in this battle… Is you, Tatsuya Hitoshi! So come at me as if your life depends on it!".
All For One unleashed his Full Power, I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath, and once I opened my eyes, I unleashed a significant amount of power. The TV Reporters arrived above the battlefield in a helicopter, giving people live footage of the battle that's taking place.
We dashed towards each other and immediately began to exchange blows. We exchanged blows until I landed a few punches, I landed an upper-cut, I landed a few more punches, I gut-punched All For One, and then I sent him flying with a kick.
All For One got back up and began to shoot a barrage of ki blasts at me from his hands. I dodged most of them, I did a right-sided back-flip to dodge most of them, I suddenly appeared in front of All For One, and then I pushed him back with a punch. We dashed towards each other and went back to exchanging blows.
We exchanged blows until I sent All For One flying with an elbow-slam. All For One jumped up into the air, he summoned a dark energy ball, and then he threw it at me. I caught it with my hands, I made the energy ball my own, and then I threw it back at All For One who took it head-on.
All For One fell to the ground and once All For One stood back up, I appeared in front of All For One and began to push him back with my attacks. I continued to push All For One back with each blow I landed on him until I broke All For One's Mask as I sent him flying into a destroyed building with a punch. All For One completely destroyed the destroyed building as he powered up significantly and grew somewhat of a pair of Demon Horns on his head…
I jumped up into the air as my Aura turned itself into a pair of wings on my back as I heard Hikaru say; "I-It looks like Tatsuya has become an Angel as All For One became some type of Demon…".
"Indeed. But this battle is now a battle for attrition." Dad said. "Let's see who'll win this fight, Adrian or All For One?..."
We dashed towards each other, and we began fighting all over the battlefield at a speed faster than hyperspeed but slower than godspeed. I began saving people near the battlefield under rubble and under parts of broken down from destroyed buildings as I continued to fight All For One all around the battlefield.
"Is he?! He is!" Hikaru began to say out loud, noticing what I'm doing. "Tatsuya's saving people while fighting against All For One!!".
"WHAT!!?" The All Mights shouted out in surprise.
All For One noticed a little boy crying, he tried to kill the child with a ki blast, I saved a little boy who was lost and crying for his mother, and I appeared in front of the mother and gave the boy to his mother as she then thanked me.
I disappeared in front of her from an instant after she thanked me and once I saved everyone in the area around the battlefield, Me and All For One ended up exchanging blows in the sky as the TV Reporters recorded and showed up fighting in the air live. We continued to fight in the air until I landed a double Knee Kick and sent him flying to the ground with a Kamehame-Ha Wave at close range.
All For One landed safely on the ground, I safely landed on a broken part of the destroyed building as I dashed towards All For One, I threw a punch at him, and right as he caught my punch with his left hand, My Ultra Instinct Form had worn off…
End of Chapter 44.
