"Hey, figured I'd find you two here!"
All-Might and Celestia perked up as they turned to see Blast, leader of the S-Rankers.
"Nice to see you after such a long time, Blast. How've things been?" Celestia smiled.
"Well, since it's clear we're gonna be facing that creep All For One, we need all the manpower we've got," Blast said, summoning a black mysterious cube and spinning it on his finger.
"With your Dimension Cubes, things shouldn't be too hard," All-Might said. "But in the end, All For One is my enemy to fight."
Blast chuckled. "Well, considering the last fight had your guts spilling out everywhere, I'll be damned if I leave an old friend hanging."
"Luna is there as well..." Celestia said firmly.
"No way, seriously?" Blast asked in surprise.
"Yes...and this time, I won't lose her again. I'll save my sister even if it kills me."
Vlad King soon entered with Himiko by his side. Ghidorah was also with them.
"Shota and Nedzu were able to placate the media," Vlad King said. "We assured them that the situation will be resolved quickly, and there's no chance that Midoriya and Twilight are being brainwashed into becoming evil."
All-Might scoffed. "There's no way they'd be able to convince them to turn to villainy. Out of all the UA hopefuls, I've never seen two students more deep-rooted in their conviction to be heroes."
"Twilight has a heart as strong and immovable as a mountain," Celestia said with utmost faith in her student. "She will never allow evil to corrupt her heart."
Suddenly, All-Might heard a ringing from his smartphone and answered it quickly, smiling in relief when he recognized who was calling...
Izuku and Twilight had managed to give the League of Villains the slip and were currently hiding out near Kamino. They couldn't exactly go out in public due to the risk of the League tearing up the nearby city and threatening innocent lives to get to them.
Twilight had cleverly hidden her phone in a special magical pocket dimension and had pulled it out so she and Izuku could contact their teachers with the GPS location.
"All-Might! Are you there?" Izuku asked.
"Young Midoriya! Good to hear your voice after a week! Is Young Twilight there as well?"
"Yes, we're both okay!" Twilight said.
"That's a relief..." Celestia's voice was heard. "We're aware of the situation and are preparing to raid Kamino alongside your classmates. But we need an area large enough for the party to enter. Can you leave the GPS marble in an open area, like a parking lot or atrium of some kind?"
"Well, we've been hiding out in various places but I think we can find a good place to put this marble," Twilight said, taking out the GPS marble that she had been holding for safekeeping.
"We're going to make use of Young Toga's Quirk," All-Might explained, "Thanks to Young Shinso we have Kurogiri in custody, and Toga recently underwent a Quirk mutation that allows her to use the Quirks of whoever she changes into."
Izuku and Twilight paled as realization set in, looking at each other nervously before responding.
"Did she... Copy me at any point...?"
"She told us herself. But rest assured, any secrets she learned will be kept between your classmates until further notice." Celestia said.
"Alright, we've got this. Just gotta keep it together!" Twilight said firmly before readying the GPS marble and teleporting it to the closest open area she could reach with her magic, which just so happened to be in a wide-enough area.
"Alright, now we gotta wait for help to arrive," Izuku said before frowning. "But that still leaves one problem; Once the fighting gets started, it's bound to draw All For One into the fray."
"Don't worry, Ninth...all will be well..."
Izuku jumped slightly as he turned around to see eight shadows behind him, all of them giving reassuring smiles through what little features he could make out of them. Just as soon as they appeared, they vanished.
"Everything alright?" Twilight asked.
"Nothing..." Izuku muttered. "Just something in the back of my head saying things will work out in the end."
Suddenly, an explosion was heard as the two looked outside and smiled.
"Iida! Uraraka! And our friends!" Twilight beamed.
"TWILIGHT!" Rainbow cried, her eagle eyes catching her and Izuku and immediately bolting over to them. "GUYS, THEY'RE OVER HERE!"
The rest of the Mane 6 plus Marco, Tenya, and Ochako rushed in, all of them with relieved smiles on their faces. Also present were Ghidorah and Tempest.
"Oh my goodness, I was so worried!" Pinkie sobbed, her hair still flat. "I thought you guys were dead!"
"Don't worry, Pinkie. We're all here and we're okay." Twilight smiled, stroking her friend's head.
"The place is being swarmed by police and Pro Heroes," Tenya said. "But there are far more villains than anticipated. Most are likely here as recruits."
"Or just common cannon fodder needed to keep everyone distracted while the League runs off." Tempest scoffed.
"We also saw quite a few of them creepy Nomu varmints on the way here," Applejack added. "Figures it could be a big help to the others if we find where they're being made and shut 'em down!"
Tomura was watching the fight outside, as several thugs and Nomu started fighting against the collected group of heroes. However, he noticed a lanky white figure actually fleeing from the fight, choosing to get to safety. Smirking, Tomura used [Void Walker] to make his way over to the man, who jumped when he appeared next to him.
"You seem smarter than the others who are fighting against impossible odds. So who are you?"
"I am...The Spot." The man introduced. "My Quirk is [Trypophobia], which allows me to use the spots all over my body to teleport myself and other people everywhere... I don't really have a good grasp on it and I was not comfortable fighting all those Heroes."
"Hey, hold the elevator!"
The two turned to see a girl in biker gear with wild white hair, purple eye markings, a pair of eagle wings jutting from her back, talons in place of her hands, a lion's tail, and a curvy figure.
"And who might you be?" Tomura asked.
"Tobita Kizu but friends call me 'Gilda'." The girl introduced herself. "My Quirk is [Griffon] and it gives me traits of a griffon, such as these sharp talons and strong wings as well as the heightened senses and strength of a lion. I also got a wicked sonic roar too."
Tomura nodded. "You two have potential. We could use Villains like you to fill up our roster, especially since we lost a few members during the attack on the Pussycats' home turf."
"Well, I know my holes are good for quick getaways." Spot noted. "Do you want me to cover our escape?"
"Don't worry, our escape is already covered. But I appreciate your willingness to contribute already." Tomura said. "Soon enough my former mentor will be joining the battle as well, probably the last battle he'll ever have."
"Well come on, let's blow this popsicle stand!" Gilda shouted as the trio hurried inside.
All For One put on a special skull-like helmet with special respirator technology to help him move without the aid of his life-support machine. Grogar watched as his former pupil prepared for the final battle.
"A shame you couldn't have taken more from my teachings..." Grogar lamented. "But fear not, Tomura is in good hands."
"If I can take out All-Might, it will all be worth it in the end." All For One said. "Tomura has taken what he can from me and made it his own."
"At the very least, you have those Pussycats' Quirks to compensate," Grogar said. "[Search] and [Earth Flow] are quite useful but I wonder why you didn't take [Telepathy] from Mandalay."
"Because it's more satisfying to use my own words from my own mouth instead of my thoughts." All For One explained as he stood to his full imposing height. "Besides, two out of four will make due. Make sure that Dr. Ujiko can continue his research."
Grogar nodded as he opened a portal and headed out, All For One making his final preparations, only to be joined by an unexpected guest.
"You won't be going alone. Celestia is mine to kill." Nightmare Moon snarled.
"Indeed, we both have our chosen enemies. A shame I couldn't manipulate you myself, but I truly do respect your independence."
Nightmare Moon scoffed. "You merely offered an alliance, nothing more. I simply needed your aid as a means to an end."
"Mandalay! Pixie-Bob! Ragdoll!" Tiger cried as he, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, and Gran Torino arrived at the warehouse where the Nomus were all coming from.
"Tiger!" Mandalay cried, hugging her teammate. "H-He made me watch as Ryuko and Tomoko... Oh god!"
"Dear god..." Mt. Lady gasped as she covered her mouth, seeing both Ragdoll and Pixie-Bob wrapped in towels and looking like their very souls had been horrifically violated.
"Their Quirks... h-he took their Quirks!" Mandalay sobbed.
Celestia vaporized a Nomu with a powerful solar beam while All-Might finished another off with a German Suplex before a dark blur flew and struck Celestia, sending her crashing into a nearby building.
"TIA!" All-Might cried before a chill went up his spine.
"Well, my old nemesis. Care for Round Two?"
"I had a feeling you might show up..." All-Might snarled as he whirled around. "...ALL FOR ONE!"
"Nightmare Moon is off having her fun with Celestia. Now it's just the two of us..." All For One grinned behind his helmet.
"Nice Darth Vader impersonation, fiend!" All-Might snarked. "Guess you're too embarrassed to show your face after what I did to it six years ago!"
"And you seem to have lost weight. Celestia won't be there to save you from certain death a second time!" All For One bit back as the two old foes prepared for their final battle...
The League had managed to reconvene just outside Kamino. Infinite introduced Jackie and Cockatrice to the others.
"So what now?" Magne asked, "Do we just run and set up shop elsewhere?"
"LET'S TAKE OUT AS MANY OF THOSE JERKS AS WE CAN!" Twice roared before snapping to his senses. "There's no way we can handle all those Heroes!"
"Fear not, my comrades!" Sliming Sadist said. "Before his arrest, my old master Crimson Death left many safehouses up for grabs for any villain organizations needing a place to stay... and I just so happen to have the addresses of the ones still open for us!"
Sadist proudly showed everyone his smartphone, which had all the addresses of the available safehouses to set up shop in.
"Magnificent! Let us make haste!" Mr. Compress said.
"You guys head off. I'll try and reach you once I'm done here." Tomura said.
"You can't be thinking of fighting Midoriya, are you?" Sonata asked worriedly.
"Neither of us are at full potential just yet," Tomura admitted. "But don't worry, I have a part of every single one of you in me now. You'll at least be backing me up in spirit and besides, my muscle memory is starting to kick in."
"Still, you better come back to us," Adagio said before pulling Tomura into a chaste kiss, surprising him.
"Alright! Let us away!" Lord Tirek said as he created a large enough portal for everyone to escape through.
"Come back to us, Big Brother!" Cozy Glow called out.
"Don't worry, I have no plans of returning to Tartarus just yet!" Tomura said as he took flight.
Celestia and Nightmare Moon were in the sky, sending out blasts of solar and lunar energy at each other furiously. However, it was clear that Celestia wasn't putting all her strength into it, unable to harm her sister despite Nightmare Moon attacking with lethal force.
"Luna! I have searched for you for years! Hoping to free you of this corruption you've placed upon yourself! David and Melissa are still waiting for you! Cease this madness now!" Celestia begged.
"No! Luna is gone! My sole purpose is to destroy you once and for all!" Luna snarled as she formed a pair of crescent blades and lunged forward at Celestia, who formed a solar energy barrier to block but it was clear Nightmare Moon was overwhelming her.
"Luna...Please..."
Before Nightmare Moon could break through and land a killing blow, she was suddenly hit by a powerful blast of magenta energy, followed by being struck by crimson lightning and bombarded with razor-sharp leaves and crystal spears and then a giant anvil falling on top of her.
"Hoo Doggie!" Applejack whistled. "We showed up just in time!"
"Celestia!" Twilight cried as she made sure her mentor was okay.
"Twilight, what are you doing here? You need to run!" Celestia pleaded.
"No! You shouldn't have to fight Nightmare Moon alone!" Twilight said firmly. "You don't have to carry this burden alone!"
Nightmare Moon suddenly roared as she destroyed all the items that had struck her, a furious look in her eyes as a dark miasma emitted from them.
"Throw as many pawns as you want, Celestia! I WILL CRUSH THEM ALL!"
"Oh yeah? Bring it on!" Rainbow Dash grinned, flaring her wings.
"Let's PARTY!" Pinkie cackled, summoning a giant cannon that she stood on top of.
"Oh dear, please forgive us for this, Ms. Luna!" Fluttershy apologized. "We'll try to take you down as painlessly as we can!"
"Can't keep no promises, Flutters," Applejack said, punching her fist into her palm.
"It's time to put a stop to this nightmare once and for all!" Rarity huffed, summoning a crystal sword and shield.
"It's over, Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said as she stood with her five friends. "We will put a stop to all the horrors you've wrought and bring back the Moon Hero: Luna from the depths of your darkness!"
"Say, where are Izuku and the others?" Celestia questioned.
"Don't worry, they got things handled on their side." Rainbow Dash reassured.
Meanwhile, All-Might and All For One were fighting in the blown-out remains of the Nomu Warehouse. The other Pro Heroes had been scattered, some getting Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, and Ragdoll to safety while others stayed to try and control the damage.
"Still as strong as you were five years ago. And only marginally slower. I underestimated how effective Celestia's powers are." All For One noted.
All-Might rolled his shoulders. "And for someone still on life support you're putting up one hell of a fight. Not that I would expect anything less from the Symbol of Evil. But mark my words... That reign you've had over this world ends tonight one way or another!"
"My reign? Perhaps." All For One chuckled. "But much like your own legacy, the legacy of the Symbol of Evil can be passed on as well. Think about it. [One For All] came from [All For One]. And [All For One] is not just about stealing Quirks but changing them around. It's why I haven't just gone around keeping every Quirk for myself. Possession does not imply mastery, after all. So I only keep the simpler Quirks for myself. But here's something to consider. [All For One] can transfer any Quirk. Why should the Quirk itself be an exception to that rule?"
All-Might frowned. "So that's what this has all been about... Selecting a protege of your own, forming the League of Villains just to kill me. You even went so far as to recruit the grandson of my beloved mentor Nana Shimura."
"So, you figured it out." All For One said. "Of course, considering Celestia's pupil took off his hands, it was only natural that you'd run a DNA test on them."
"Nana never told me what happened to him, and I had no reason to think he might need guidance. So really... What he's become falls squarely on your shoulders." All-Might growled. "Tell me, did you kill his family and make him think he did? Or did you just give him [Decay] and let fate run its course?"
"Obviously the latter. If I did the former, then Tomura would most assuredly kill me once he learned the truth about his history. He wouldn't need to exert much effort, either. Just destroy my life support."
All For One's right arm suddenly bulked up into a truly repulsive and monstrous form as he combined several Quirks together into it.
"But enough exposition! Let's end the long feud between our opposing Quirks here and now, All-Might!"
"I couldn't agree more! Come at me, All For One!" All-Might roared as he pushed what he still had left of [One For All] to its fullest.
Nightmare Moon screeched in fury as she fired lunar energy blasts at the Mane 6, who all dodged the projectiles as they rushed toward her. Twilight erected a magical wall in front of her friends to block the shots as they closed the distance.
"YEE-HAW!" Applejack shouted as she delivered a double dropkick to Nightmare Moon's torso, sending her flying back, crashing into a crystal wall Rarity erected.
"Oh, dear!" Fluttershy cried as she summoned roots and vines from the ground to wrap around the villainess and pin her down, allowing Rainbow to conjure a giant storm cloud.
"Get ready to feel the THUNDER!"
A massive bolt of crimson lightning struck Nightmare Moon, making her roar in fury and pain before breaking free from her prison, flying up to strike Rainbow before Pinkie appeared in front of her, a playful smile on her face but a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Omae was mou Shinderu!"
"NANI?!"
Pinkie suddenly summoned a giant hammer and slammed it down on Nightmare Moon's head, sending her crashing to the ground as Rainbow Dash laughed and high-fived her friend.
Nightmare Moon coughed as she got back up to her feet, her legs shaking. She barely had a second of reprieve before Applejack and Rarity just missed nailing her, forcing her to roll out of the way before forming crescent blades and lunging forward to slice them to ribbons.
"HA!"
Nightmare Moon gasped as several magical energy spheres ame flying right at her. She quickly formed a shield of lunar energy to block them before turning to see Twilight conjuring them. Furiously, the villainess lunged to kill Celestia's pupil before suddenly feeling her entire body lock up.
"W-What...?! Why can't...I move?!"
"Because I molded my shadow with yours with [Cursed Shadow]," Tempest smirked as she came out of the darkness. "Sorry, I wanted to join in on this."
"No! My revenge cannot be denied! All the years suffering in your shadow, Celestia! Being shunned! Being hated! IT WILL ALL END NOW!" Nightmare Moon roared as she struggled to break free, only for Celestia to calmly hold her hands up and fire a powerful beam of holy energy.
"Luna...nobody ever looked down on you. Your own insecurities played against you... I have and always will love you... come back to me."
Nightmare Moon screamed in pain, thrashing as the energy began slowly enveloping her. Her eyes of hatred slowly turned into ones of pain and sorrow.
"Sister...! Help!"
"Luna!"
Twilight stepped up beside her mentor and placed her hand alongside her, channeling her own magic into it. She turned to her friends and smiled as they nodded, joining them as Tempest kept Nightmare Moon pinned down.
"Luna! It's time for you to remember the magic that brings true heroes together! That helps them fight as one against insurmountable odds!" Twilight said. "An honest soul to reassure you in doubt, kindness to help those in need, laughter that banishes away fear, the generosity of doing things for nothing in return, and the loyalty to stand together even in the darkest hours!"
"That is the true magic, Luna. A magic that can save you from this curse...THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!"
Nightmare Moon howled, her form dissipating into a spectral black mass that writhed in agony before swelling like a balloon, which then burst into star-like particles that faded away into the sky.
Where Nightmare Moon once stood was now a pale-skinned woman with flowing night blue hair and a black dress as well as black feathered wings. Celestia slowly walked towards the prone form of her sister and knelt beside her, cradling her head on her lap.
"Is she dead?" Tempest asked.
"No, she is well..." Celestia smiled. "We all are."
Twilight and her friends all smiled at each other, glad that one nightmare had ended. However, there were plenty of threats occurring in Kamino at the moment...and one of them was about to make his presence known.
The Kamino Raid is coming to a head! Princess Luna has been freed from Nightmare Moon! And surprise, we have The Spot from Marvel Comics because I watched Across the Spider-Verse!
