The Ones Within Us


The scene opens with Bakugo pushing Izuku out of the way and taking the hit as red and black tendrils are stabbed into his chest.

Wide, horrified eyes filled the room as muffled gasps and worried cries echoed, all directed at the screen.

Meanwhile, Bakugo himself stared at the screen with a passive expression, his heart and mind filled with complicated thoughts. Sacrificing oneself for someone else was more in line with what Deku believed a hero should be, not him. For Bakugo, it was always about winning, regardless of the situation – whether it was battling villains, rescuing someone, or even just in mundane school exercises. Anything less than a perfect victory was unacceptable.

But then, he recalled the words his on-screen self had thought just before saving Deku, 'My body moved on its own.' It was the same phrase Deku had uttered when asked why he had come to save him from that sludge villain. A chuckle almost escaped Bakugo's lips as he wondered if he had now become the kind of hero All Might would be proud of.

However, he couldn't help but ponder: what had compelled his body to act that way? Was it his heroic instincts, pushing him to take the attack on behalf of a fellow hero? Was it his rational mind, urging him to rescue the boy he once called his friend... though he questioned whether he had any right to call Izuku his friend now? Or was it his heart, acting out of guilt, as a way to atone for past mistakes? An apology to the boy who, despite their rocky history, had always held nothing but admiration and concern for his well-being.

There were so many questions swirling in his mind, but right now, his concern was for Izuku more than himself. He glanced at the boy in question, who was gritting his teeth as tears leaked from his eyes, and the familiar glow of One for All was visible around his body.

'It's my fault. Why do I have to be so weak? Why-' Izuku's guilt-ridden, self-deprecating thoughts were interrupted by the voice in his head.

'Stop it! You're going into a fit of rage. Banjo is having a hard time restricting Blackwhip from manifesting,' the Second chided Izuku.

'But Kachaan-'

'He's alright. Both the on-screen version and the loud blonde sitting in the audience,' the Third added with a sigh. 'The on-screen version will live; they are not mortal wounds, and knowing that brat, he'll be on his feet before the end of the battle.'

Upon hearing that, Izuku finally took a deep breath and calmed down. However, for the onlookers, it seemed quite strange how Izuku was on the verge of bursting into anger but suddenly regained his composure.

"D-Don't try... to win by yourself..." Bakugo stammers, blood spilling from his mouth as he coughs.

"Maybe talking is not the best idea right now," Izuku said with a strained smile.

"Don't tell me what to do, nerd," Bakugo shot back without his usual flare in his voice.

Meanwhile, everyone stared at them, giving them weird looks.

Meanwhile, "Stop it..." Tomura struggled to resist All For One's control over his body, retracting the tendrils from Bakugo's chest, which sent Bakugo tumbling toward the ground.

"Kacchan...!" Izuku screamed and attempted to catch him, but Shoto, carrying the injured Endeavor in his arms, beat him to it by quickly grabbing Bakugo by his leg.

"See, I told you, you should have brought me along from the start," Shoto remarked. "And Bakugo, you owe me one now."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I will make Cold Soba for you as payback," Bakugo said with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Now that's a fair deal," Shoto said as his eyes lit up at the mention of Soba.

"It's my..." Tomura" Tomura attempted to speak but was interrupted by All For One. "During today's fight... there was much blood that was shed unnecessarily."

"The atmosphere in the room turned icy as all the glares focused on the villain on the screen. 'This bastard...' someone murmured, voicing the collective thoughts of the entire audience."

"Unnecessarily..." Izuku muttered, his wide, unblinking eyes fixed on the charred figure before him.

'Young Izuku needs, to learn to keep calm in the face of taunts, especially in front of an opponent like All for One,' All Might thought. He paused, pressing on the side of his stomach, and added, 'Not that I have any right to tell him that.'

He remembered all the people who were injured in the battle. Then, Blackwhip started forming around his body, and he recalled Banjo's words, 'Listen, if you use your power in anger, the power will react to that. What's important is controlling your heart.'

'That would be good advice if Ninth wasn't already seething with anger,' Hikage remarked, while Izuku tightly gripped the chair's handles.

'Well, he's certainly handling it better than Ninth is on-screen,' Banjo added.

"A lot of blood was shed unnecessarily," All for One continued, "but this was the most unnecessary of all," he said, referring to the unconscious Bakugo.

Upon hearing that, Izuku snapped with rage. His glare intensified, and a shadow covered the top part of his head.

"Damm, that face is nightmare fuel," Kaminari muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Blackwhip started forming around Izuku's body as his eyes flared with rage. And just as Aizawa was about to use his quirk on Izuku, Momo grabbed his arm.

Izuku turned his head toward her and saw concern and fear in her eyes, causing Blackwhip to vanish from around his body. "I'm sorry..." he muttered before looking back at the screen.

Then, Izuku heard a ringing in his head just before All for One launched red and black tendrils at him.

As soon as they saw the scene on the screen, Izuku, Bakugo, and All Might shared a glance among themselves while thinking, 'Danger Sense...' to themselves.

'Indeed, that is my quirk,' Hikage said. 'But be aware, it can be quite headache-inducing when facing multiple enemies.'

Izuku charged One for All and launched forward in a rage, destroying and biting down on the incoming tendrils while demanding that All for One take back those words.

"Damm, someone needs to give that kid a Snickers or two," Rumi said with a chuckle.

"Rumi, this isn't the time to make jokes," Ryukyu said, giving the rabbit heroine a stern look.

"Yeah, you're right, but seriously, this kid has so much untapped potential, especially if he could harness this rage thing on command," Rumi said in a more serious tone.

"I guess you're really serious about this," Ryukyu remarked. "Also, I doubt he can summon that kind of rage normally. At least, based on what we've seen and what Uraraka and Tsu have told me about him."

"Trust me, Ryu, it's always the ones who seem the most innocent," Rumi said thoughtfully. She thought back to the flashes of Bakugo's memories from the last episode. 'The past like his, will also help fuel his anger.'

Suddenly, a rift opened between Tomura's face, and a partial image of All For One's face emerged from it, grinning at Izuku.

'I should have gone ahead and ended that monster that day, to hell with my public image,' All Might thought, gritting his teeth. 'Now he's back to torment young Izuku, who already has to deal with Shigaraki.'

In the next moment, the villain touched Izuku's face, and Shoto cried out in fear.

"I finally touched you," All For One declared as he began to steal One For All, a look of terror appearing in Izuku's eyes.

'See, this is what happens when you let your emotions take over in the field,' Second said in an irritated voice as Izuku hung his head in shame. 'Sometimes, I feel like you and Eighth don't have a single rational bone in your bodies.'

'Were you being rational when you saved All for One's brother from that vault?' Yoichi asked, causing Second to roll his eyes. 'It's completely understandable for Ninth to get angry on his friend's behalf when someone insults their sacrifices. Just look at Nana; he was furious for her friend.'

'Besides,' Yoichi continued, 'Physical contact isn't the only defense we have against my brother,' he added, leaving Izuku wondering about his statement.

Meanwhile, unaware of this conversation, everyone in the auditorium was on the edge of their seats, filled with dread at the sight of Shigaraki touching Izuku's face. This was especially true for Momo and All Might, whose faces displayed sheer horror.

"I'll take it now..." All For One said, but suddenly his eyes widened. In the very next moment, Izuku found himself in a dark void.

'Huh!?' echoed in everyone's thoughts as they wondered what was going on.

"This is..." Izuku's eyes widened as he realized, "...inside One For All... What's going on?" he asked himself.

"Of course, it's some supernatural bullshit," Monoma groaned.

"So what!?" Setsuna retorted. "You wanted Green, who, by the way, is the only one keeping Shigaraki busy right now, to have his quirk stolen or turn into dust?"

"Of course not!" Monoma shot back. "I just want things to be simple for once."

"Where's Kacchan? And everyone else?" Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching, "Shigara... No, that's..."

"Don't... come out..." Shigaraki said, struggling to walk.

"Even if you say that, Tomura," a man with a deep voice said as a hand landed on Tomura's head. "If I hadn't lent you my power, then you would've turned to ash and died. Even if you had survived, you would've died from the fall," The camera panned out, revealing All For One merging with Tomura's body.

"Okay, this is genuine nightmare fuel," Kaminari said, his disgust evident at the sight before him.

"I said, "Shut up," Master," Tomura shot back. "This... is my will... my dream!"

Izuku watched the scene in horror and attempted to walk toward Tomura but fell over in the process.

"Deku, why the hell are you trying to walk towards that abomination?" Bakugo asked, irritation lacing his voice. "Seriously, the world would be a better place if these two died in a ditch somewhere."

'Shigaraki... he looked like he was in pain,' Izuku thought, all the while trying to ignore the intense glare from a certain salmon-haired vestige.

As he struggled to move on the ground, a yellow-gloved hand gently landed on his head. "You can't move in this world yet," Izuku's eyes widened as the camera panned out to reveal Nana Shimura, the Seventh wielder of One For All, crouching next to him. "That's why the rest of us will take care of it."

"The kid is in good hands now," Gran Torino said, his gaze fixed on his friend on the screen while All Might wiped his eyes, unable to contain his emotions every time he saw Nana on the screen.

The scene shifts back to the outside world, revealing a news chopper following Machia's rampage through populated cities. "Currently, the giant villain is continuing north through Sairo City with no sign of slowing," the reporter said. "The city... The city is being trampled!"

Momo visibly flinched as Machia's rampage was shown on the screen.

Meanwhile, Machia mentions that he can smell two masters.

'Two smells?' Nezu thought while rubbing his chin. 'Maybe quirks themselves carry some of the physical essence of the user.'

Jaku City Suburbs

"Leave the Jaku City residents to the rescue teams and police! Us heroes need to head to the path of the giant villain!" the hero on the site exclaimed. "Focus on evacuating and rescuing residents and stopping the villain! We can't reach those who have gone to Shigaraki due to a communications blackout. Let's go! Run! As quickly as possible! Save as many people as possible!"

"Glad to see that heroes are getting caught up to Machia's rampage," Ryukyu said. "The more people heroes can save the better."

Then the commanding hero approached Nejire and the other floating heroes. "You guys can float, so please act as messengers!" he requested. "Tell Endeavor and the others about the situation!"

"I'll go with you!" Iida volunteered and began running towards Endeavor and the rest, accompanied by Nejire and the other floating heroes, ignoring the commanding hero's warning about Shigaraki's Decay.

"Yep, you know it's an apocalypse when Iida is the one not listening to instructions!" Mina exclaimed.

"Iida, I thought you would have learned your lesson after the Kamino incident," Aizawa said with a stern gaze.

"I apologize for my behavior, but I believe I had a good reason for disregarding the orders," Iida replied while bowing his head.

"Hey, hey, Ingenium, why did you come this way?" Nejere asked while flying beside Iida.

"I'll take whatever punishment there is for disobeying orders. I have three classmates who haven't returned yet!" Iida explained without stopping his legs. "Two of them... are good friends who set me on the right path!" he said, recalling the time Izuku and Shoto confronted Stain for his sake.

And now all eyes were on the three students involved in the Stain incident where one was avoiding looking at anyone, another was attempting to come up with an excuse, and the last one simply sat there with an indifferent expression on his face.

"I thought it was you who defeated Stain," Rumi said, giving a side-eye to the No. 1 hero.

"No, it was these three kids who took down that serial killer, but due to some legal complications, the credit was attributed to me," Endeavor explained.

A smile briefly appeared on Nejire's face, but it immediately turned serious as she said, "Let's hurry!" she said as she and the rest of them rushed towards the battle sight.

"Finally, it's time for Nejire-chan to shine!" Nejire exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air. But don't be fooled by her cheery attitude; she's angry alright, especially after what happened to Ryukyu. However, it wasn't in her nature to burden everyone with her negative feelings, so she was skilled at concealing these feelings.

Elsewhere, Uraraka ran alongside other heroes to evacuate people from Machia's path. 'The situation isn't getting better. It's getting worse. Ever since that day...' she thought, recalling the first time Shigaraki had attacked them during the USJ. 'It's like when the shadows get longer as the sun goes down.'

"Yeah, that black day when Shigaraki first showed up at USJ," Ochako grumbled. "Ever since that day, he's been relentlessly pursuing us, trying to disrupt our peaceful days."

Returning to Izuku inside One For All, we see him still on the ground with Nana crouched beside him.

"I didn't think I'd see you again after death..." Nana said as she rose to her feet, her gaze fixed on the figure before her with steeled eyes. "All For One."

'Nana Shimura!' Izuku thought, casting a wide-eyed glance at the woman standing beside him. 'The seventh wielder.'

'That's me,' Nana said, attempting to fake her usual cheery attitude. However, just from her voice alone, Izuku could tell that she was going through a lot, especially now, seeing her on-screen self in front of her grandson.

"Look at that, Tomura. It's amazing. A dead person!" All For One laughed as he pointed at Nana. "Your grandmother, the incompetent, pitiful Nana Shimura is right there."

'This bastard!' All Might and Gran Torino thought, giving All for One ice-cold death glares.

"Do you know why?" he continued as Tomura glanced at Nana. " It's transference! They say the personality and tastes of an organ transplant recipient can change. Most people think of it as something out of the occult, but there have been a number of reported cases."

Quite a few ears in the audience perked up with interest as All for One spoke. He was undoubtedly an evil man, but a 200-year-old mortal must have some intriguing insights to share with the world.

"Once in a blue moon, I have these strange dreams. Dreams where the original owners of the Quirks I stole disparage me," All For One chuckled while tapping his head. "When I have those dreams, I feel dejected... Almost as if I'm conscious of my sins like a normal person... However, once I part with that Quirk, I never dream of its owner again."

"Strange, isn't it? I'm the type to hold grudges, after all. But I discovered the cause after meeting Doctor," All for One continued. "Like how it's said that organs and cells have memories, Quirk factors also seem to have consciousnesses living inside them. Apparently, thanks to my power to directly meddle with Quirks, I also have a special ability to perceive those consciousnesses."

"Now it makes sense how Izuku is able to interact with the past users of One for All," Momo said, wearing a thoughtful expression. Then she turned towards Izuku and continued, "Given time, perhaps you'll be able to interact with them even when you're outside the dreamscape."

"Yeah, who knows..." Izuku replied with a strained smile, as her theory was indeed correct. However, he refrained from revealing that he was currently interacting with a Vestige, as he needed to figure out what was happening with his quirk himself first.

As All For One spoke, Tomura stared at Nana, recalling Gran Torino's earlier words, 'Don't trample on Shimura's memory any longer!' "Nana Shimura..." he muttered, remembering seeing her picture during his childhood and encountering her in his dreamscape. "Why do you...?" he mumbled as cracks began forming under his leg.

Once again, sadness seeped into Izuku's heart, so he finally decided to ask, 'What's going on? Is everything all right?'

'It's Nana,' Yoichi sighed, 'It's just that her emotions are leaking into you, giving you that feeling.'

'Is she going to be all right?' Izuku asked, his voice filled with concern.

'I don't think so,' Yoichi replied truthfully, without attempting to offer false reassurance to the young boy. 'But don't worry, she has us to comfort her, all of us.'

"Like how I can meddle with the consciousnesses inside Quirks, my blood relative, my younger brother, could also directly interfere with Quirks with his power to pass his Quirk on," All For One explained with a gleeful smile on his face. "When the Quirk to pass on Quirks is mixed with the power-stocking Quirk, it turned into a sleeper train that moved people's consciousnesses to the next era," All For One said as the visual on the screen displayed One For All being passed from one generation to another.

Izuku and All Might tensed as they were once again reminded why One for All was created – it was a power meant to prevent All for One from achieving his dream.

"Anyway, why don't you greet each other?" he added with a gleeful smile.

'Bastard...' Banjo cursed, and they all realized where this was heading.

"You're Kotaro's..." Nana said, her sadness evident in her eyes.

"Why did it turn out like this? I don't care about the reason," Tomura replied as Nana steeled her expression. "Don't worry, Grandma. I definitely hate you, too," Tomura smirked and began eroding the world inside One For All, while Nana struggled to resist it.

"That brat! How can he..." Gran Torino gritted his teeth while glaring at the screen.

'Izuku, I'm sorry I just couldn't...' Nana tried to apologize as her inner turmoil rapidly leaked into Izuku, causing his eyes to well up with tears.

'It's okay; I understand...' Izuku began but paused as he reflected on his words. 'Actually, I don't think I'll ever fully comprehend the pain and agony you're going through, but I want to help in any way I can, even if it means just being a shoulder for you to lean on,' he continued, as six other vestiges smiled at him.

"One For All can only move by the will of its owner as a rule, but your anger is starting to encroach on it!" All For One exclaimed, laughing gleefully until cracks began forming on his body. "Whoops! Oh, right, you hate me, too. Excellent! That's what it means to be the Symbol of Fear!"

"A part of me wishes that Shigaraki would just put an end to All for One's existence, but then I fear that without All for One to restrain him, he would unleash chaos without reason," All Might said.

"We're undoubtedly caught in a situation where we're stuck between a rock and a hard place," Nezu added. "We face a choice between a sadistic immortal villain who desires to rule the world or a genetically created monster bent on the world's destruction."

"But it's not enough," All For One continued as Izuku and Tomura noticed a new presence there, someone who halted the erosion of the world. This person was none other than the first wielder of One For All. "My brother's stubborn, like me," All For One said, smiling at the first wielder of One For All.

"So, this is All for One's brother, the first user of One for All," Endeavor said as he observed the frail-looking man.

"Hey, is it just me, or does he look like Shigaraki?" Mina pointed out, making everyone examine the screen more closely.

"Now that you mention it, he does resemble him a little," Kendo said.

"Maybe it's a way for fate to remind that demon of his past crimes," Ibara suggested.

Meanwhile, Yoichi wasn't paying attention to the ongoing conversation. Instead, he was lost in memories. 'You know, my mom always wanted to see me and my brother on television," he said, a hint of longing in his voice. "Those were truly happy days before quirks became a common occurrence,' he added, reminiscing about spending time with his brother, who was just a regular comic nerd back then.

"Is that boy next, Big Brother?" the first wielder asked, glaring at All For One.

"It's your fault for not surrendering to me," All for One retorted.

"We won't go over there. We have chosen to be inside this boy," the first wielder said as he and Nana continued to resist Tomura and All For One.

'I think you could have chosen better words there...' Once again, Izuku heard an unknown voice, which he deduced must belong to Sixth, through the process of elimination.

'Great, the first thing you decide to say is this,' Banjo said, rolling his eyes. 'And you're right, kid. That's En, the sixth user of One for All and Nana's predecessor. He doesn't talk much, but he's probably the chillest among all of us,' he explained, while En simply showed a peace sign to him.

'I'm getting forced back,' Tomura thought while gritting his teeth. 'The only thing that didn't go Master's way-One For All...'

"More so the only quirk that refused to be stolen, putting a massive dent in All for One's pride and ego," Izuku muttered to himself.

'Exactly,' Yoichi added. 'Before Toshinori cultivated this power to become what it is today, One for All was nothing more than a minor inconvenience for my brother. Yet, what truly irked him was the unwavering resolve of One for All's wielders and the quirk itself, which have consistently resisted yielding to his power.'

"What the hell is this?!" he tried to say, but suddenly a part of All For One covered his face.

"It's power, Tomura!" All for One said with a gleeful smile. "If we put your power and my power together, we can steal it. After all, they're just a few dead people who lost to me!" he declared and raised his hand, attempting to steal One For All.

"You won't say that to All Might, who turned you into a potato man!" Bakugo yelled.

"Indeed, Yagi is one person that All for One was never able to defeat. Even after his retirement, All Might continues to inspire people who will undoubtedly oppose All for One's schemes in the future," Nezu added.

"Little Brother, you said you've chosen? Stop acting tough. You know, don't you? I was watching through Tomura. Even though he's got such a wonderful Quirk, he can't protect his friends or his teachers, and he needs to be protected instead," All For One mocked as Izuku struggled to get back on his feet. "On top of that, he's allowing his body to succumb to his anger, like his master did. As a result, he can't even move right now!"

Izuku gritted his teeth, and One for All swirled around his body as he glared at the screen. What stung him even more was the fact that he found himself agreeing with the villain, and he hated himself for it. Uselessness was a feeling he despised the most, and the word itself felt etched into his brain. Seeing himself on the ground, mocked by All for One, and protected by Nana and Yoichi made him relive moments from his past.

Meanwhile, as All For One continued mocking them, Izuku noticed Shigaraki helplessly succumbing to All For One's control.

Bakugo narrowed his eyes at Izuku as he watched the look on-screen Izuku was giving to Shigaraki.

"He's just taking cover, eyes goggling as he watches. It was a mistake to let your power fall into the hands of someone so useless!"

"It's okay," Momo said gently, placing her hand over Izuku's, noticing his increasing frustration at hearing the villain's words. "That man's words don't invalidate all the incredible things you've done for all of us. Who is he to call you useless when you've used this very power to save so many people? Do you think Ochako would call you useless for taking down that giant robot when you didn't even know who she was? Do you think Eri or Kota would call you useless after you saved them from threats that even seasoned pros would be afraid of? Do you think any of us would dare to call you useless after witnessing how you pushed yourself to the limit to stop Shigaraki?"

"Izuku..." Momo continued in a gentle voice. "You're someone I've grown to admire. You're the person I think of when I'm faced with a difficult situation. Izuku, you're an inspiration, not only to me but to many of our classmates. That's why, no matter what anyone says, you are not useless."

Izuku was stunned. He didn't know how to respond to Momo's heartfelt words, but one thing was certain: the clouds of self-doubt were beginning to dissipate from his mind.

"It wasn't a mistake," the first user stated. "You only use others, so you can't understand what he's thinking as he sheds blood. Getting angry for others, able to work as hard as he must for the sake of others," Izuku began pushing himself back to his feet, and various instances of him risking his life to save others flashed before us. "A boy so obsessed with saving others that he's deviated from the norm. We will stay with him," the first user declared.

'Izuku, just like my on-screen self said, we believe in you, and trust me when I say this, we couldn't have asked for a better successor than you,' Yoichi said in an attempt to encourage Izuku. 'And don't worry about Second and Third; they're just tsundere.'

'We are not!' Second and Third exclaimed in unison, eliciting a small chuckle from Izuku.

All For One's smile faded as the first user, Nana, and the other six wielders merged within Izuku. With his remaining strength, Izuku lunged toward Tomura.

Finally, all the doubts vanished from Izuku's mind, and a newfound determination gleamed in his eyes. 'That's right, Izuku,' he thought to himself, 'You have so many amazing people standing behind you. There's no need to get upset over the words of some potato head.'

Back in reality, an explosion of light occurred, and Tomura and Izuku began falling away from each other.

"Todoroki, I hope you're around because I really doubt Deku could survive that fall," Ochako said in a worried voice.

'The Quirk transplant wasn't complete, so I couldn't expend enough effort to steal it,' All For One, who had taken over Tomura's consciousness, thought. 'Withdraw for now and let your body regain strength.'

"I can't believe I am saying this, but we really need a miracle right now," Ryukyu said. "Because no matter what, they cannot allow All for One to escape right now."

'It... wasn't stolen...' Izuku thought as he raised his head and glanced at Tomura. 'But... Shigaraki... Please, don't move anymore...' were the last thoughts Izuku had before losing consciousness.

"Yeah, that's what I said," Izuku grimaced as he saw his on-screen version's condition and boy, all he could hear was Recovery Girl nagging about breaking his bones again.

At the Police Force HQ, they ask local police units to assist with firefighting, as they focus their efforts on rescuing the victims of Gigantomachia's rampage. The commander is informed of Kyudai's arrest but says that is second to gathering information about Gigantomachia's location and predicted path and keeps sharing any information about this with the teams at each location of the battle. The police learn that Gigantomachia has entered Nabato City and his time to the predicted location of Jaku General Hospital is now under 10 minutes.

"Great! As if Midoriya and others weren't already struggling to stay alive," Mina said with a sour expression on her face.

Meanwhile on the back of the Machia.

Skeptic informs the others that he has a visual on Tomura and that he is fighting Endeavor.

"The heroes are getting closer," Skeptic said looking concerned as they watched the camera feeds with the help of a Satellite "It's not as many as at the mountain villa, but there are a lot of them. We're only able to be here like this right now because of hindsight. We still need to be careful of how they'll move."

"That's good," Dabi said. "Get ready."

"To do what?" Skeptic asked.

"To destroy this fake hero society," Dabi said with a huge grin appearing on his face.

"Dabi..." Endeavor said, staring at the villain on the screen with narrowed eyes. Ever since this ordeal began, there had been something about Dabi that made him uneasy. It might have been the villain's obsession with him, their shared powers, the way he seemed to possess knowledge of secrets he shouldn't, and, most importantly, that muted conversation between him and Hawks. But in the end, none of it mattered because he was the No. 1 hero, and he would take down anyone who threatened the peace of the country.

To be continued...


Note:

Okay, so I decided to exclude the Ochako and Toga's segment from the reaction for two particular reasons.

First, I personally don't enjoy that segment because of how out of place it feels amongst all of the chaos and action that we see up until this point. In my personal opinion, this segment could have been perfectly incorporated during the Dark Deku arc where Ochako meets Toga while searching for Izuku.

Second, this segment leads to nowhere until the next war. I know there is that one conversation that Izuku and Ochako have before the next war but that doesn't concern this fic at all. And personally writing transcripts for the episodes is getting monotonous please forgive me for not writing something that I don't personally enjoy.

I understand that some of you might not like this decision and want to drop the fic because of this and I respect your decision just don't leave any negative or abusive comments. Your opinions and feedback are always welcome but saying how disappointed you are neither helps me nor you in any way.

And lastly thank you, if you still decide to continue reading my work.
