Chapter Six:

Back in the bedroom, All for One sat Izuku down on his bed and clasped his hands. "What's wrong? Did someone insult you? That would be an insult to the throne. Give me a name, and I'll take care of it. Are you feeling unwell?"

WHAT WAS WRONG?! How about the fact that Izuku had been kidnapped and enslaved by a madman? Or how he was being used as bait to catch his parents? The most infuriating part was how All for One asked as if he genuinely didn't know. The second most infuriating part was that All for One clearly believed he was practicing good parenting. The fae's voice held a tired note, as if he was thinking, My child interrupted my party with his annoying display of weakness but I'm going to comfort him instead of scold him because I'm such a GREAT PARENT.

Izuku could practically see All for One awarding himself a father of the year medal, and it made him furious. "If you actually gave a damn then you'd already know! Does your brain have oak wilt?"

"Am I going to have to add an extra order for language?" All for One pinched his forehead and visibly calmed himself. His voice became soothing. "Now, now, I can't know how to make you feel better if you don't tell me."

"When have you expressed the slightest interest in knowing my mind?" Izuku shouted. "You faked interest in my life for one meal before you kidnapped me! Then you made me sit in your office dressed like a cute doll without even talking to me. You couldn't make it more obvious that you only view me as an object to obtain." Izuku had plenty more to say, but he stopped talking because he realized this tirade would be counterproductive to his plans. He took deep breaths, his wings bristling. If he punched All for One in the nose then his entire ruse would be up. But that insufferable face made such a tempting target.

All for One drew back, his lips parted in surprise. "I didn't realize you felt like that. Yesterday I was too busy throwing together the ball at the last minute. I see how it was a lot to expect of someone raised in the human realm, to attend a fae masquerade right away." All for One made it sound like Izuku had been raised in a pig pen. "It was necessary. But now that I've spread word about your presence, you can remain in private until you feel more ready. I'll set aside time tomorrow for us to bond. How does that sound?"

Whoa, All for One had completely missed the point. The very last thing Izuku wanted was father-son bonding time. However, it would be indisputably helpful to his plan to fake appeasement. Izuku hesitated, his wings shifting. "Can we go outside? I'd like to see more of the fae realm."

All for One said, "We'll have a picnic in the palace gardens."

Not as good, but still better than Izuku had expected on his first try. Izuku nodded. "That sounds much better than yesterday." He phrased his words carefully because he couldn't say he wanted to go on the picnic without choking on the lie.

All for One said, "You must be hungry. You never got a chance to sample the food table. We'll have a family dinner tonight and you can tell me all about yourself."

Izuku stifled a groan, because he'd asked for this.

"…Then I turned my teacher into a weasel."

All for One laughed uproariously. "What a natural fae prince! I'm glad that Yoichi at least taught you how to use your powers. How has Yoichi been doing? Is he looking after his health? He had weak health as a child."

Izuku winced. He'd directed the topic to his many expulsions, because All for One loved hearing about him tormenting humans. But All for One kept asking about Yoichi. It might turn into an order soon. Izuku feared giving away anything about how to find his parents, and also feared giving away that he could defy orders. Better to talk willingly, but be vague. "I never would have guessed, he's always been healthy. He moonlights as a vigilante. He fell into the job accidentally, actually. He stopped a terrorist attack from the Creature Rejection Clan and got accused of vigilantism. Being motivated by spite, he decided to make the lie become true." A story from before Izuku had even been born should be harmless enough.

All for One's lips twisted. "Yoichi always had an excess of compassion. And pettiness." His tone held an emotion difficult to place, some swirl of positive and negative reminiscence.

"He's into gardening. Our garden has won countless prizes. And he has a parttime job as a tattoo artist."

"Tattoos? Those body mutilations favored by human criminals?" All for One wrinkled his nose.

Izuku took the cue to change the subject. "We had private lessons together about fae culture. He used to sing me a lullaby from his childhood." He hummed the notes of The Fairy Lullaby. "Do you remember that one?"

All for One's smile returned. "Yes, my mother used to sing it to my brother and I as children. I sang it to Yoichi after we were on our own."

"Poppa was too young to remember much about his mother. I'd love to hear more from you," Izuku said, trying to change the subject.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Enunciating each word, All for One said, "You will refer to your uncle as Uncle Yoichi. That's an order."

Izuku sank down in his seat. He'd screwed up. Now a single slip of the tongue might give him away.

…Come to think of it, why hadn't All for One yet ordered Izuku to give up his parents' location?

Should Izuku count himself lucky and avoid the topic? But it made no sense. All for One wouldn't have become a fae king without understanding how to control people. It should have been his very first question. Unless All for One knew that Izuku's true name was different, and this was all an elaborate test.

There was not the tiniest chance in humanity's hell that All for One had planned an elaborate ball to lure in Yoichi when he could have just asked Izuku a question. Izuku had to know if his entire escape plan had been compromised. Time to rip off the last leaf of summer. "Why haven't you asked me where to find Uncle Yoichi?"

"Because he's no longer in the human realm," All for One replied. "He left shortly after you. The Winter King made an extremely controversial decision to rescind the exile of my brother's kidnappers. They're in winter right now."

Izuku swallowed, his appetite suddenly gone. He'd known his parents would come for him. But this confirmation still shook him.

That night, he could barely sleep.

The sun felt harsh to Izuku's baggy eyes and aching head as All for One led him outside. A picnic basket floated next to them. Izuku looked around and plotted escape routes.

Right away, he noticed the huge marble wall around the palace. It spread off into the distance, easily miles around. It protected a huge oak tree growing into the shape of a palace with turrets and pointed towers. Furthermore, a shimmering magical net overhead prevented flying. Maybe it would be smarter to find a portal.

The garden around the palace looked gloriously untamed. Wildflowers and moss grew around tall trees. Flowers suited to shade clustered near the roots: foxglove, hydrangea, lily-of-the-valley, primroses, and violets. A field spread off to the left, full of hibiscus, peonies, sunflowers, marigolds, and more stretching out as far as the eye could see. There was no path, so All for One and Izuku flew over the flowers instead. The smell nearly overwhelmed him, dirt and leaves and so many floral scents mixed together. Though the plants seemed disorganized, Izuku could tell they were all healthy so they must be tended to by a gardener. The more invasive species had been carefully prevented from taking over. There was a method to the madness.

When All for One found a shady spot of grass under a yew tree with no flowers, Izuku became even more convinced that the garden had been carefully planned. There was even a tiny stream running past the nearby tree. All for One threw down a checkered blanket. He pulled out a cup from the picnic basket and dipped it into a stream, then took a sip.

Izuku recoiled instinctively.

All for One laughed. "The water in the summer realm is always clear and delicious. You'll find it far better for your health than the mortal realm water, full of chemicals. Besides, as a fae prince, nothing except a curse can make you sick."

That was true, but Izuku's human-raised instincts still flinched at drinking straight from a stream with a muddy bottom. All for One offered him a cup. Izuku sat down and had a small sip. He had to admit it tasted wonderfully pure and cold.

All for One put two fingers in his mouth and whistled. A white tiger ran through the garden. In only a few strides, it had gotten close enough for Izuku to tell this tiger was three times the size of a normal one. He leapt up, wings spread to take flight and magic forming on his fingers.

"You need not fear." All for One laughed. "This is my pet, Gigantomachia."

That seemed obvious after the fight and flight instinct had worn off. Izuku forced himself to stay in place as those giant paws shook the ground with each step. After the ball, he wouldn't let himself appear a crybaby again.

Gigantomachia rolled over to expose his belly. All for One rubbed his tummy. "Would you like to pet him, too?"

Izuku definitely would. That fluff was irresistible. He buried his hands in and petted, gently at first. Gigantomachia purred like a freight train. When the tiger sat up, Izuku nearly flinched away, but he stood his ground as Gigantomachia licked his face.

"He can smell your relationship to me," All for One said. "I raised him to be loyal to our family. I've been transforming him into a Byakko."

"Oh, is that how he got so big?" Izuku scratched between the tiger's ears. He remembered reading that a tiger who lived for five hundred years would turn into a Byakko, a very powerful yokai with control over wind. "Can you talk?" he asked, looking into those big blue eyes.

Gigantomachia rubbed his head against Izuku's chest. All for One said, "He's still in the process of transforming. He growled something that sounded like a word a month ago, and I felt like a proud parent. If only I'd been there for your first word…"

Izuku didn't like how the fae king looked at him, as if he was contemplating deaging magic again. He changed the subject. "Boy, I'm hungry. What's for lunch?"

"Whatever you would like." All for One grinned. "Stick your hand in the basket and wish for a food, and it will appear."

Izuku tried wishing for an apple, and pulled one out of the basket. "Whoa, how useful."

All for One pulled out a hunk of raw meat on a stick and tossed it to Gigantomachia. The tiger leapt up in the air and swallowed the meat whole.

Izuku ate until he was stuffed. All for One ate more lightly and asked Izuku questions about his hobbies and favorite books. It felt more relaxing than the previous meals. All for One was trying, and Izuku wasn't sure how he felt about that. He picked up the sense that All for One kept getting smugger as lunch progressed. He hoped either he was imagining it or it was because they were supposedly bonding.

All for One closed the picnic basket. Izuku gave Gigantomachia one last pet, then they started back to the palace.

Just as they nearly reached the door, light flashed above, creating a portal. Yoichi shot down from the sky with his wings folded back like a hawk, screaming, "Hisashi Shigaraki, don't speak or move!"

Multicolored light rose off All for One's body and caught Yoichi, pinning him to the ground. It happened too fast for Izuku to react. All for One purred, "Nice try, little brother, but I enchanted myself not to be able to hear my own name shortly after I woke up. I had to drain half my own court for the necessary magic, and all those lives were very much worth it."

Dammit, Izuku had nearly given himself hope of using that name. The grass under Izuku's feet bent, longing to grow and attack All for One. By great force of will, he restrained himself. He knew he would lose in a one-on-one battle against a fae king. And he'd give away his ace up his sleeve: that he didn't need to follow orders. He struggled to understand what was happening—why in the name of magic would Yoichi have attacked so recklessly and alone?

Vines rose up to tie Yoichi's arms and legs, although he thrashed and struggled. Another vine covered his mouth. Izuku gritted his teeth, his wings folded tightly and his ears standing on end. All for One knelt down and cradled his younger brother in his arms like a baby, brushing his hair off his forehead. "Kazuki Shigaraki, by your true name, I bind you: you will obey any and every direct order from me. You will not circumvent my orders. You will not leave the summer palace. You will not harm yourself or me, nor stand idle when you could prevent harm. You will not use my name to seal me—yes, I'm making that one explicit this time. You will not speak unless I ask you a question. You will never, ever speak my true name or use any other means to reveal it."

Even despite the horror of the situation, Izuku still felt indignant that apparently All for One had named him the exact same name as Yoichi. It might have been forgivable as lack of creativity, but it seemed more likely that All for One had never viewed Izuku truly as his own individual.

All for One flung back his head and laughed. "I knew you would come for Izuku! I knew it! I could feel you scrabbling at my magical wards the whole picnic. Did you imagine you were being subtle?"

A muffled sound came from Yoichi, choked by the vine. His hair had turned black to reflect his mood.

The vine retreated, and All for One asked, "Why did you come alone? Where are the thieves?"

"They wouldn't come," Yoichi snapped. "They're scared."

Izuku put up a hand to cover his mouth. He did not believe that for one second. No matter how scared his parents might have been, they would have come for him. There was enough ambiguity in the wording that Yoichi must have meant they would not come at this particular moment or to this particular place. But why?

All for One chuckled and kissed his younger brother's forehead. "Now you see them for the liars and cowards that they are. They never would have dared steal from me if I hadn't already been sealed." His hands roamed over his brother as if confirming that he truly existed. All for One hissed upon pulling up Yoichi's sleeves to reveal his tattoos. The tiger on Yoichi's arm snapped ink jaws at him. All for One clucked his tongue. "Look at what you've done. You've mutilated yourself. You used to be so pretty. Fortunately, I can fix this."

Power flowed from All for One's hands, washing over Yoichi's body. Yoichi screamed.

Izuku leapt forward, heedless of his plans, but the blazing pillar of light pushed him away. In a blink of an eye, the light dyed down. Yoichi lay in his brother's arms, sweating and panting. His hair had returned to its natural pure white, slick and stuck to his forehead. His beautiful tattoos were gone. All the color seemed to have gone out of him, leaving him pale as if he might wisp away into the wind. His arms hung limp. Izuku shuddered. A tear dripped down his face to see his poppa look so sad and washed-out. Screw the plan, he wanted to shift into something with teeth and claws and rip out All for One's throat—

With great effort, Izuku took deep breaths and stayed in place. He used his own grass to hold his feet down. The magic of the summer realm filled Izuku, but instead of spending it on powerful magic, he took it and stored it away. All for One stroked Yoichi's hair, unaware of the close save he'd had. (Izuku knew he couldn't have won, but he would have at least left a scar.)

All for One hummed The Fairy Lullaby as he rocked Yoichi. It was creepy, as if he thought Yoichi was an infant. Each note set Izuku's teeth on edge.

"I've got you," All for One whispered, pressing a kiss onto Yoichi's forehead. "I'll never leave you again. You can be the precious jewel of the summer court once more. I'll remove that dreadful human and changeling from your mind. I can erase them from your memories. It will be as if they never existed. Then it will only be the two of us again—three now, with Izuku. Just family."

Yoichi shuddered. Izuku's fists clenched so hard his nails dug into his palm.

All for One stood up, lifting Yoichi in his arms. Glancing back, he addressed Izuku: "Return straight to your bedroom without detours. I shouldn't need this with your other orders, but just in case: you will never speak my true name or use any other means to reveal it, and you will never use my name to seal me. Hmm, I could find a potion to erase it from your memory, but if we both know each other's names then I can use your magic. I'll have to ponder it…depending on how well you behave."

Izuku's jaw clenched. He did not know if he could speak without baring his teeth.

All for One turned away, not seeming to notice or care about his son's anger. He carried Yoichi through the doorway of the palace. Leaning down, he murmured, "I'd better drain your magic first. You're too much trouble when you have magic. Always the little rebel, ever since you were a child. I'm still not at full strength after waking up. I thought about taking Izuku's magic, but he's just a child and it seems a shame not to let him ever experience how to use his powers. You came at just the right time, little brother. Afterward, I'll take away all your memories of the human realm. Then your taint will be erased."

Energy cracked through Izuku, as hot as the summer sun. He could never, ever allow that monster to take his poppa's memories away. It might be foolish, but he would pick this moment to fight. The ground under his feet started to shake. Izuku's nails grew and his teeth became sharper. The air was hot and full of his power. Even the sun above shone brighter.

Yoichi looked over his brother's shoulder and winked at Izuku.

That wink made Izuku return obediently to his bedroom. There was clearly a plan. Izuku had known from the beginning there must be a plan—his parents weren't fools. All for One had only believed Yoichi would come so recklessly alone because he underestimated his brother. Without knowing what the plan might be, Izuku didn't dare do anything to interfere. But he burned with the need to know. He could not sit idle with the stakes so high.

When Izuku opened his bedroom door, Shouto Todoroki stood on the other side.

Izuku sprang inside and closed the door. "How did you—?"

Shouto pointed at a shimmering portal in the air. "I found you by tracking your fan pin. The summer prince said that All for One would be too distracted with his capture to notice anyone else breaking through the wards. It looks like he was right." Shouto spoke astonishingly casually given what would have been the consequences if he'd failed. "Let's go. I'm in charge of getting you out of the palace. Your poppa has a plan. He digested a curse. When All for One drains his magic, it will infect him and knock him out. Then your other two fathers will break into the magic draining room and seal All for One. Yoichi already gave them All for One's true name. If the autumn prince can get close enough to touch All for One, then he can seal him."

Izuku gasped. "But All for One can't hear his own name—"

Shouto said, "The summer prince guessed as much. They're going to use paper charms with All for One's true name."

"Even so, Poppa letting himself get captured was insanely risky! What if All for One had asked Poppa to reveal all his plans?"

Shouto said, "The summer prince placed a second curse on himself to erase his memories if anyone tried to interrogate him. But he said there was a good chance his older brother would want to drain his magic before anything else. Apparently All for One has a thirst for magic that borders on addiction. It looks like he was right."

"Yes…" Izuku said slowly.

Shouto beckoned at the portal. "Come on. I had to beg your parents to include me after I tracked them down, and I promised we'd leave right away."

Something about this all felt…too easy. Why hadn't All for One forced all of Yoichi's plans out of him? Even Izuku had found Yoichi's answer too ambiguous—a fae king must have noticed. Izuku flashed back to All for One admitting he'd never asked about Yoichi's location because he already knew it. Perhaps All for One hadn't wanted to trigger any spells that might attack Yoichi if he was forced to talk. Just as Yoichi knew All for One, his older brother knew him back. Suddenly, with a strange confidence he could not explain, Izuku felt certain that All for One had already taken counter-measures. It had been a good plan, but it wasn't going to work.

"It's a trap," Izuku said. "I have to go to my parents."

Shouto bit his lip. "They knew they might fail, that's why they made me promise to get you out of here."

"But I have my own trump card that my parents didn't know about. All for One thinks I'm bound to obey him, but I'm not." Sighing, Izuku sagged from his ears to his shoulders. "Please, I can't abandon them."

Shouto shrugged. "I'm already in trouble for the rest of my teens when my parents find out about this, we might as well get in trouble together. Let's go."

Izuku laughed, then flew the door. Shouto ran after.

"Follow me," Izuku said. He could sense All for One's location by the buzzing of power, somewhere deep under the palace. Abandoning subtlety, he sent vines to bust a hole through the floor and fly down. Shouto used ice to glide after.

They landed on the dirt floor of the basement level, where the air smelled dank and lichen lit the walls. A steel door was ahead. The sounds of metal clashing came from inside. Dabi stood outside, heat radiating off him. "You're out of your rooms, little rabbit." His teeth gleamed white in the darkness. Upon spotting Shouto, Dabi put his hand on his forehead and laughed. "Little brother! I thought I'd have to hunt you down to kill you, but here you are." His voice held a maniacal edge. His mouth twisted strangely, almost as if he didn't know if he wanted to laugh or weep. Fire burned behind his blue eyes, erasing conscious thought.

Shouto stepped forward. "I'll handle my big brother. Go to your parents."

"Are you sure?" Izuku asked.

"Last time he took me off-guard and prevented me from using magic. This time, I'm ready." Shouto did not take his eyes off Dabi. "This is my fight. Go."

Izuku felt the magic in the basement building stronger, and knew he had to leave now or he would be too late. "I'll repay this debt." Then he flew forward.

Dabi didn't pay any mind to Izuku at all. The two brothers clashed in a dizzying blast of blue and yellow fire. Ice cracked down the walls. Izuku flew faster. The door burned with magic. He knew breaking it down would drain all of his power.

As Izuku approached the door, he shifted, shrinking down into a tiny butterfly with green wings and sliding through the crack.

The laboratory was beautiful, with a golden domed ceiling and colorful glass bottles lining the stone walls. A shimmering cylinder stood in the middle like a beacon. Glowing red sigils danced in circles around the cylinder. Purple lines ran down the floor like cracks of lava. Bloodstains also tarnished the granite ground. The cylinder had hooks for chains at the bottom to hold the prisoners about to be drained of their lives. Kurogiri must have died in this place, or whoever Kurogiri once had been.

A hole had been shattered in the back wall, revealing a cold room. Rows of bodies were barely visible in the dim light, stretching back far into the distance. A struggle must be happening beyond, as a crack ran down the ceiling. A giant block landed in the laboratory, shaking the shelves. The light of magic coming from the battle was blinding. Izuku's weak insect eyes could barely see over the blazing energies of magic.

A weak groan came from the corner by the hole. As the dust cleared, Izuku saw Yoichi lying on the ground. His arms and legs had been bound with vines. They crept up his neck to gag his mouth. Blood trickled from his scalp.

Izuku flew forward. Before he could get far, the hole in the wall blasted open twice as big. Two shelves fell over, releasing colorful gasses into the air.

All for One stepped through the hole, framed by billowing dust. He held two limp and bleeding bodies, one in each hand. Izuku's heart stopped. So did his butterfly wings, nearly sending him to the ground before he got ahold of himself.

All for One threw Kaiji and Sanzou to the ground. They were both bleeding from countless cuts all over their bodies, ripping their clothing to shreds. Kaiji's arm was bent at a funny angle and Sanzou's hair ran red from blood. Izuku feared, for a horrible moment, that he'd been too late. But he saw Kaiji's finger twitch and Sanzou's chest rise. Even more importantly, he saw Sanzou's fist held a dozen paper charms. Izuku's anger hardened into cold resolve.

Tears streaming down his cheeks, Yoichi fought against his bonds. All for One knelt down and flicked him in the forehead teasingly. "It was a good try, but I know you're smarter than to come at me without a plan. I think you gave Izuku a dreadful scare, though. I wonder what trap you left in your magic for me? We'll have plenty of time to figure it out."

Yoichi whimpered something around his gag. The tone and eyes made it obviously a plea.

All for One shook his head. "No, I can't hold myself back from killing those two thieves. But I'll be merciful and erase your memories afterward."

Yoichi wailed into the gag. His skin turned even paler from the exertion of trying to use his magic despite the orders binding him. The scent of smoke rose off him, then All for One's orders shut off his magic before he burned himself from the inside out. His eyes rolled backward.

All for One stood up, gazing down at his prisoners. "I'd kill you both with my own two hands, but I don't want to touch you." The air around him hummed, and lightning formed at his fingertips.

Izuku flew forward, a small butterfly buffeted by the currents. He landed on a paper charm with All for One's true name. Then he transformed back. As his insect leg shifted into a hand, Izuku grabbed onto All for One's wrist and screamed, "Hisashi Shigaraki, by your true name, I seal you!"

The charm glowed as it activated. All for One couldn't hear the name, but that didn't matter because Izuku slammed the paper name directly on his skin. Mist rose up to envelope All for One. His lips moved, forming the word "Kazuki," and Izuku knew the fae king was giving an order.

"That's not my true name," Izuku said coldly. "You never knew who I am—who we are." He gestured at Yoichi.

The mist wrapped All for One as he fell to the ground, his eyes closed. It formed an impenetrable white bubble around him shaped like a coffin. The summer king lay sealed away once more.

Izuku ran to Yoichi and grabbed the vine, sending a tendril of magic to wither it away. "Kazuki Shigaraki, I free you of all orders." Then he ran to Sanzou, who looked the most injured with the blood from his head beating a steady pace against the stones. Laying down his hands, Izuku healed. His dad's blood felt hot and sticky between his fingers.

Yoichi ran over to Kaiji's side and started healing him (which was why Izuku had freed Yoichi first.)

The door opened. Shouto dragged in Dabi's unconscious body by the back of his coat. His frantic eyes fell on Izuku, then All for One's sealed form. "You did it! We have to get out of here, I heard the mindless servants coming down the stairs."

"They can't be moved yet," Yoichi said, looking down at Kaiji with fear in his eyes. Izuku agreed. He did not dare release his grip pouring out healing energy.

"Look out!" Izuku screamed, seeing Kurogiri appear behind Shouto.

But Kurogiri dropped to his knees and addressed Izuku: "I stand ready to serve the new summer king." Behind him, a long row of silent servants bowed to the floor.

"Me?" Izuku asked in disbelief. His magic sputtered out for a brief moment before he got it under control and resumed healing. "No, no, I'm too young."

Kurogiri swiveled to face Yoichi. "Then you are the new summer king?"

"Absolutely not!" Yoichi yelped. "I have a tattoo business and a vigilante career to manage."

Kurogiri turned to face Izuku, who protested, "I'm busy studying for my entrance exams!"

Kaiji's leg straightened. He mumbled and started to sit up. "We'll settle this later," Yoichi said. He ordered Kurogiri: "Bring bandages and healing herbs."

Kurogiri nodded and rose.

In a voice barely above a whisper, Kaiji said, "Sorry…lost…"

"It's okay now." Yoichi smiled shakily. Blood dripped down his forehead to stain his white hair. "Everything is over. We won. Izuku won." He gazed at Izuku with watery eyes overflowing with pride.

OMAKE TIME!

Omake: Long-term Goals

All for One: If enslavement is good enough for my relatives then it's good enough for the entire fae realm. In fact, let's include the yokai too!

Izuku: Despite your problematic position no one could accuse you of being biased by species.

#

Omake: Uncreative

Izuku: I can't believe you gave me and Yoichi the same true name!

All for One: It seemed easier to keep you under the same name, as Extension of Myself Number One and Extension of Myself Number Two.

Yoichi: This is why I gave myself a fake name meaning "First Son" in Japanese.

#

Omake: Rewriting Reality Part One

All for One: My one mistake was trying family bonding since clearly no one appreciated it.

Izuku: I would have happily picnicked with you if you'd started with less kidnapping and enslavement.

#

Omake: Rewriting Reality Part Two

All for One: At least I got to beat up Kaiji and Sanzou and nothing can take that away from me. I avenged my little brother's head injury.

Yoichi: You were the one who injured me in the fight!

All for One: But they forced me to do it so it's really all their fault.

Author's Note: Today's Lord of the Rings quote is: "Do you know who I am?" All for One did not know Izuku's name or Izuku as a person. That proved to be his downfall.
