I'm sorry for the late update. But I did some thinking and decided against the extended fight. So instead of this being nine parts, it's only two. This is the last chapter of the fight, and thusly the end of Season 2! Which means exactly what you think it means. So, without further adieu, let's get into the chapter!

[AFO versus Golden Guard – Part 2]

"Fear not the person who has everything left to lose, because they will hold back to save the ones they love. Fear the one who has nothing left to lose, because they are the ones who will show no mercy to anyone, or anything around them should it mean they defeat their opponents. That is why, every year, we grieve the loss of that small town, for it paid the ultimate price. We must learn from our mistakes, and I will be the one to steer this country forward to do that!" – President [Redacted], 2033, after her election 15 years after The Battle Of Gravesfield.

There was a flash of blinding light, and in that flash, Luz was greeted with twenty lances made of light. They flew toward her at speeds that couldn't be tracked by the human eye and immediately pierced through her shoulder, stomach, and knees as if she were made of butter. She wasn't affected by it, as a matter of fact, she didn't even flinch. All she did was regenerate the wounds.

When she blinked, The Golden Guard was already in front of her. So much for sending him flying. He arched his arm back, and prepared to swing his sword diagonally, ready to cut through her like it typically did, but instead of flesh, the sword was met with a Forcefield. It cut through the shield, but afterward, before it could cut Luz, she jabbed his mask, making him stagger, and shaking his head.

The Golden Guard frowned underneath his mask, but before he could do anything to continue his attack, the white-haired teen grabbed the front of his mask. At first, he was confused. He didn't need to worry about his Quirks being stolen, especially because she wasn't touching skin.

So, when he went to cut her hand off to stop whatever she was planning on doing, he had expected it to go off without a hitch. Instead, he was blasted by a massive, street-wide collum of fire that sent him flying back yet again.

The flames were harmless—they didn't even char his armour—but they did burn away his hood and the fabric spots of his armour, leaving parts of his defence vulnerable. He stumbled while regaining his stance, but not before he was decked in the face by a massive arm, sending him into the asphalt ground, the resulting force making a massive crater, with the wind pressure blowing away the houses and buildings surrounding them.

"She's destroying the town while she attacks!" The Golden Guard thought, eyes narrowing. He raised a hand upward and blasted a beam of light through his attacker's chest.

It stunned her for a moment, which allowed The Golden Guard to switch gears. While he didn't deactivate his Lightbringer Quirk, he moved it over to the side and selected one of his other Quirks. Immediately as he did that, his right arm swelled up to his elbow, before it expanded and expanded until it was about the same size as a house.

Selective-Gigantism was one of those Quirks that only worked in massive battles. He typically only used Lightbringer but at times he would use Selective-Gigantism against bigger enemies. Well… typically he used them against giraffes… those foul beasts.

The white-haired teen's eyes widened in shock as she regenerated the wound created by The Golden Guard, before being swatted away by the massive house-sized arm that, surprisingly, was still covered in his armour. That was because of what Selective-Gigantism did. It didn't just make his body bigger. It made his body bigger, or at least that part of his body bigger that he needed to be bigger, but it also enlarged the clothing on his body so that it didn't break.

That was because, like Lightbringer, Selective-Gigantism was awakened.

His breath laboured, he shrunk his arm back to a normal size. Hunter frowned. This wasn't going as well as he thought it would. The Emperor had told him to kill All For One, and while he wasn't exactly against it considering what the previous version of the man had done, this one was ripe for the moulding to be the liberator of The Boiling Isles.

He couldn't kill her. Both literally and figuratively. Because no matter what, it seemed she recovered from whatever wounds he inflicted upon her. He looked around his surroundings and saw smoke, fires, and panicked civilians. His gilded wings flapped in the air as he frowned.

"This place is going to be destroyed if I don't wrap this up. I need to get to that portal before it closes… but with the way this is going…" Hunter thought, narrowing his eyes. He had twenty minutes to finish this fight before the portal disappeared. Of course, he could always rely on the portal that periodically appeared in that run-down house in the forest, but that was only if things got desperate.

How did he know of its existence? Because The Emperor told him about it. He didn't know how The Emperor told him about it, but he guessed it had to do with the previous All For One.

A flash of red overtook his visage, as he flew back, narrowly avoiding one of those destructive red orbs, only to be grabbed by what appeared to be vines, then slammed into the ground by said vines, and dragged across the asphalt, picked up, and kicked in the chest, cracking his armour, all in the span of a few seconds.

He was able to stop his sudden flight with a strong flap of his light wings, as Luz stared at him, clutching her hand into a fist. "I told myself I would never keep this Quirk… but I found the boy I gave it to, or well, his body. I guess our fight caused a lot of collateral, huh?"

"So you gave that one away… why?"

"None of your business," Luz snapped, before charging him again. She got about five inches away from him, only for her arm to explode, and reform. Hunter took advantage of her brief shock to activate Selective-Gigantism in his right arm and punched her into the ground.

The shockwave of the attack travelled for miles, tearing up more buildings and houses, and leaving a massive crater in its wake. He wasn't exactly proud of it, but at the rate, this town was being destroyed, there really wasn't a reason to hold back. The amount of damage that was being done… it wasn't going to be repaired. At least, he thought so anyway.

In the crater, Luz's arm began to repair itself, as she slowly sat up. Instead of waiting to act, Luz activated Air Walk and Gravity, but as she did, she vomited up blood, both Quirks deactivating.

"Your limit… Noceda, you need to expel those extra Quirks. Your body cannot handle it!"

"Shut up! I—"

"Listen to me! You will die if you don't! Do not be a fool!"

Luz cursed under her breath. She looked around her, trying to find someone to dump Flamethrower off on, only to be kicked in the face, sending her travelling through the asphalt, the street digging up more and more debris the further she travelled. Before she could get back up, she was blasted by another beam of light, pushing her further and further into the ground.

As she was being damaged, her body was healing it over as if nothing had happened. Her Regeneration was being worked overtime. Just as the light beam finished, The Golden Guard was already in the same deep hole she was in, grabbed her by the collar, and flew her out of the ground, before throwing her into the school through the roof.

When she crashed through, she fell squarely on a desk, as the room filled with those who were hiding from the battle gasped and screamed, most kids of varying ages. The severely crippled and damaged Luz tried to get up, but couldn't. The pain coursing through her body was too much. Even with Pain Nullification, the pain the extra Quirks were causing her body to be in wasn't going away.

It was like she was being hammered all over by the moon itself. Her fingers refused to move. Her lungs had a hard time expanding to take in air, and her heart was slowing down. All of this, just because of two extra Quirks. She reasoned that she hadn't felt this before back at The Camp because of all of the adrenaline at the time. But now? She felt every inch of pain.

Tears welled up in her eyes. How did it come to this? In just a month, things went from somewhat normal to hellish. A month. A single month of the world being granted superpowers, and her life had taken a nosedive. How?! This was her dream come true!

Her dream was not supposed to screw her over, God Damnit!

Finally, after being mocked, ridiculed, and harassed by her peers, not believed in by her mother or straight up told that her mannerisms were wrong for polite society, her dream came true!

Fantasy had become reality. The very thing she was accused of not seeing because of her appreciation of the make-believe! Of her love of all things fantasy! Now that it was real, it was supposed to be a good thing! She was vindicated!

But it turned out to be a hellish, horrible, worsening change! Life didn't get better, it got worse!

Because of it, she lost her mother, lost her faith in humanity as a whole, and lost her innocence! She had to kill to survive because people kept trying to kill her, and it robbed her of her chance at a normal childhood!

Anger, mixed with pain, mixed with regret, mixed with sadness flowed all through her body as she clasped her forehead, weeping. Her life had taken a turn for the absolute worst, and it was all thanks to this stupid power!

"Luz, listen to me! Get rid of the extra Quirks, and you'll be back at your peak. Trust me on this. I know what I'm talking about!"

Luz didn't respond, she just lay there. Her body was sparking with red electricity and random intervals, as The Golden Guard landed in the classroom with a gentle tap of the wooden floor. The Golden Guard approached Luz, each step carrying more and more weight as he moved.

"This is the end of the road for you, Luz Noceda, Wielder of The Quirk All For One. Come quietly, or perish," The Golden Guard said, his voice calm as Luz sneered.

"You…" She began, her body sparking with more and more red electricity. "Do not…" the lightning continued to get more and more active, as the last few inches of her hair turned white. When they did, something happened. Something that no one had expected to happen.

Within the Mental Landscape, Shigaraki felt something change. The space began to shake like it was being disturbed by some unseen force. The man stood up from his chair, feeling a rush of excitement. His eyes widened. He knew what was happening.

"Out of all of my years of living, I have never seen this happen! I never even thought it was possible!" Shigaraki thought with a smile on his face. The inky black ground cracked, peeling away as a checkered tile floor replaced it. Where the chair once sat, a pair of thrones took its place, and the fireplace was changed into a massive burning pit behind said thrones.

The cages were lifted off the ground into the endless ceiling above, as the cages themselves were changed from cages to glass cells. The blobs took a more humanoid shape, and one had changed entirely, though it was still covered in shadow.

The black walls changed into regular walls made of white brick with windows and red curtains, and there was a red and golden carpet leading toward the thrones. Shigaraki cackled as he spread his arms out wide, his eyes crazed and bloodshot.

"It happened! It finally happened!" Shigaraki thought, laughing with pure joy. This couldn't have been better!

Back in the real world, The Golden Guard took a step back from the desk that Luz had fallen on top of. Luz had stood up, red electricity sparking off of her body, as her eyes glowed with a pure menacing crimson light. Everyone in the room huddled in the corner.

She could feel a power unlike any other coursing through her veins. Her hair began to stand up on end as the power flowed through her body. "…TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

"ALL FOR ONE HAS FINALLY AWAKENED!" Shigaraki thought with pure bliss in the mental world, as in the living world, Luz lunged forward, arched her arm back, free of any pain she had felt before and slammed her fist into the chest of the Golden Guard, shattering his armour and sending him flying up and out of the building from the same hold that Luz had through.

The white-haired teen jumped out of the hole, kicking up dirt as multiple arms, around twenty-five, sprouted from her back. They were the size and width of public transport buses, eclipsing the portion of the sky that Luz took up, covering the street below in shadow.

The Golden Guard stared up at the mass of arms and prepared to create lances of light to throw at Luz, only for something else to happen. He stopped his attack mid-generation, he stared at what was about to hit him.

Five of the arms charged up massive columns of blue fire, and another set of five had a mix of blue and red energy orbs prepared to fire at him. Another set of five arms were turning their fingers sharp, and another set of five were creating massive amounts of vines. The final set of five created five human-sized forcefields.

All of them were aimed at him, and if all of them hit, the explosion caused by such an attack would be devastating!

"CHAOS VOLLEY!" Luz shouted, firing all of the attacks at once. Vines and Finger Spears the size of trees came down on The Golden Guard, who created a light sword, slicing his way through as many of them as he could. Flamethrower's flames, now a bright blue, came down upon him as he ducked and weaved with his flight, the columns chasing after him as if they were heat-seeking, juggling keeping the vines and fingers away as he spun in circles, dodged to the left and right, and did whatever he could to not get hit.

And then came the red and blue orbs. As they got closer to him, he was prepared to leap back. But something happened that he wasn't expecting to happen. Instead of having to dodge the Reds and Blues, they fused into two Purples, both of which flew faster than before.

"And it not just All For One, but as a result, every Quirk stored within from now until forever has been Awakened! This is the very thing I wanted, but could never do! It is all thanks to you, Luz Noceda!" Shigaraki thought in the mental world, still cackling as the battle continued in the real world.

As they came close, they distorted the space around them, sucking him in like a black hole, but unlike Blue, the suction was far stronger. He couldn't get away, as he was blasted by both Purples, destroying his upper body and sending his lower half falling to the ground.

As the Purples came into contact with his body, and as it basically erased it, it didn't explode on contact. Instead, they kept going. They hit the ground, and drilled holes, causing asphalt, corpses, trees, grass, and anything in a 5-meter radius around the Purples to be sucked in, before finally evaporating once they had gotten to the center of Gravesfield.

When the lower half of The Golden Guard's body hit the ground, Luz retracted the extra limbs, and landed in front of it, staring at its remains. Scoffing, she turned around, looking down at her hands. She felt far stronger than before. She felt more durable than before, and she felt as if she could never be put down ever again.

And with The Golden Guard defeated, now all she needed to do was—

A sword made of light pierced her chest, her eyes widening as she was sliced in half. Her body regenerated instantly as a result of Regeneration being awakened. It didn't even leave a scar. Luz turned around and saw The Golden Guard staring her down, his upper armour gone, revealing a young-looking face, red eyes, and bleached blond hair. He had a scar under his right eye, and his expression was drawn into a frown.

"How… Purple is a combination of both Blue and Red. You should be dead!" Luz spat as The Golden Guard smirked, his armour slowly replenishing out of light.

"I have four Quirks. Lightbringer, Regeneration, Selective-Gigantism, and my favourite of them all, Overclock. That last one is what saved me. In combination with Lightbringer and Overclock, I was able to speed up my body to the point where it looked like I wasn't moving. To you, it looked like I got hit. In reality, I had already moved out of the way. Your brain had no way of knowing I had moved because that was how fast I was."

It was then that several hundred slashes appeared all over Luz's body, the force of which blew her back, a large trail of blood following suit as a massive fist took up her visage. She tried to throw up a Forcefield, but was too slow, as the fist hit, sending her flying even further. Her impromptu flight was stopped when she crashed into the police station, the building crumbling on impact, falling on top of her.

The white-haired teen pulled herself out of the rubble, her clothing still intact. She wondered how but decided to question it later. She didn't have time to question anything, as The Golden Guard was already in front of her with yet another fist ready to slam into her body.

This time, she was able to throw up a Forcefield, and when she did, it blocked the punch. There were no cracks, no nothing, even after the shockwave of the impact had destroyed several buildings and homes, driving her deep into the floor, as she smirked.

The Golden Guard flinched, most likely out of shock, as she leapt back, creating several more Forcefields underneath the one that she created, before firing them all at once. They all hit due to them being point blank, though Luz wasn't truly sure because of Overclock.

The second user of All For One looked over her shoulder, and just like she thought, The Golden Guard was behind her. "You're so predictable," Luz quipped, stomping on the ground as Vines sprouted upward and out, wrapping around The Golden Guard. "I awakened all of my Quirks. Meaning they've all gotten stronger. Now I'm at least somewhat on par with you!"

The Golden Guard cursed, before dispersing into light particles. Luz activated Multiplier and Spear Fingers. Though, the fingers were no longer made of flesh. They were made of steel, it seemed. Like actual spears. They darted and bent all over the place, trying to hit the pieces of light, missing by a few inches each time.

Hunter reformed, and when he did, he blasted off a massive light beam down at Luz. His heart was racing, and he was slowly tiring out. There was a downside to Overclock, and that was that the more it was used, the more tired he would become. He reckoned he had a few more uses, around three more, before he was out of energy.

In other words, he couldn't waste his uses. He had to use them they counted.

The beam of light connected to Luz, only for the white-haired teen to create a Purple out of nowhere, and absorbed the beam of light, firing the purple up at Hunter. Hunter, for his part, was able to get out of the radius of the suction of Purple, but not out of the way of a massive column of blue fire.

"She's getting smarter!" Hunter thought, rushing out of the flames. His Regeneration was inferior to Luz's, that much he knew. It took longer for him to heal than she did, and it hurt. For her, it didn't. She must've had some kind of pain nullification Quirk.

Luz met him in the air, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him into the ground. She created three arms, all of which fired blue flames down at him. Hunter ducked and weaved as best as he could, but with the wind behind him, he had no choice but to disperse into more light particles, a tiring process.

He had ten minutes until the portal closed. He had to wrap this up. Because if he didn't, the portal was going to close. He still had to fly back to the portal, and if he couldn't do that, then he would be done for. He wasn't going to be trapped in this realm. He refused it.

And so, he became desperate.

He flew up into the air, high above the town, with Luz chasing after him. Good. That was what he wanted. He sucked in a massive gulp of air. And when he did, he activated Selective-Gigantism. When he did, he didn't just enlargen his arms or his even his legs.

He enlarged his entire body. Luz was no longer in his sights because she was so small. The town of Gravesfield looked less like a town and more like something off of a map. He was so large, that people from across the state could see him. The massive teenager was just that, a massive teenager. A giant, a titan of a figure that was only seen in myths.

He only had 10 seconds in this form before he went back to normal, as was the limitation, so he had to make it count. Using Overclock, he threw a punch so fast that it was a blur, even at his size. Luz couldn't dodge, as the fist was the size of Gravesfield itself.

If she didn't stop it, it would destroy her home for good. But there was nothing that she could do against it. No Quirk or Quirk combination could stop a punch like that from landing. But she had to try.

Creating 80 massive hands, she had all of them create Forcefields, trying to block the punch from hitting. The moment a single knuckle made contact with the Forcefields, they shattered, making Luz's eyes widen. And before she could do anything, she was hit by the fist and was sent with the fist into Gravesfield.

The resulting blast could've been felt from the nearest city all the way to the edges of New York. It physically shook the southern part of The United States of America and left destruction for hundreds of thousands of kilometres.

Everyone who was caught up in the blast radius died. That wasn't even a question. And when Hunter fell from the sky, landing just a few feet in front of the somehow intact portal, he turned around and saw the massive ravine where Gravesfield had been.

He hadn't wanted to kill Luz. But that was all he could've done. He had no choice. He needed to get back home. And so, that was what he did. With his job done, he walked through the portal. He was going to be tired when he got home. That wasn't even a question.

The portal in question was a cliff overlooking The Boiling Isles. His home. His world. His Realm. He smirked as the portal closed. He had made it just in time, it seemed.

It was beautiful. Bright yellow skies, darker yellow clouds, and a massive setting sun off in the distance. The purple water splashed up against the bones of The Titan their home sat upon, as in the distance he could make out The Castle where The Emperor and his helpers awaited him.

He looked behind him and sighed. In a different world, Luz could've been a massive ally. But now, she was dead. He had to. He couldn't waste any more time. That, and he was getting tired.

"Now… to report to—urp!"

A black ooze seeped from his mouth. He couldn't hold it back. It was just so… disgusting that he couldn't do it. It forced him to vomit, and when he did, a hand reached out. His eyes widened, as a glob of goo fell to the ground. When it did, a person crawled out of the small puddle of goo.

Hunter stepped back, as Luz pulled herself out of the gunk, clothing attached to her body in scrapes, the pants now impromptu shorts, as pieces of fabric remained of her shirt, clinging to the important parts of her body that needed to be covered.

Hunter couldn't believe what he was seeing. How?! That shouldn't have been possible! There was no way that she was able to survive!

"That was close… If I hadn't activated Warping when I did… I would've been a goner…" Luz muttered, before standing up, turning and looking at Hunter, a smirk on her face.

"I—"

She punched him in the face, knocking him down to the ground as she breathed in the air. She looked over her shoulder and turned back around. She saw where she was, as Shigaraki spoke.

"Luz… you did it. You made it to where you need to be. Welcome… To The Boiling Isles."

The second user of All For One, and the first to awaken the Quirk looked down upon the land, as Hunter scrambled to his feet. "You—"

"Be quiet," Luz said, looking over her shoulder at Hunter, making the boy clamp his mouth shut. "You destroyed my home. Well… we destroyed my home. I have no reason to fight you anymore. So put your guard down. I know that you didn't want to kill me, because if you did, you would've used a light attack. That would've killed me without a shadow of a doubt. Yet, you gave me a chance to escape using Warping. I know what you want. So I'll bite. I'll lay low for now. So you go back to report to whoever you listen to. I want to see what this place has to offer."

When those words left her mouth, she activated Air Walk and Gravity, floating off of The Knee and making her way to the town below that she could see in the distance. Hunter could only stare at her retreating form with a wave of exhaustion. So she knew? Though it was strange that she knew, he didn't question it. Besides, it made things easier, so why look a gift horse in the mouth?

He let out a sigh of relief, falling to the ground, looking up at the sky out of energy from the battle he had just finished.

He could rest here for a little while. If only for a small amount of time. It wasn't like The Emperor needed him for anything urgent, so he could afford to waste a little time recovering from the fight.

In the back of his mind, he knew that he was taking his chances. Technically, she wasn't supposed to be here, because the portal had closed. But at the same time, he guessed that whatever that Warping Quirk was, it was either powerful enough to warp through dimensions, or she had activated just as he was leaving, and waited for him to enter this dimension to come out.

Either way, Hunter didn't care. He wasn't going to question anything. After all, he was just glad the fight was over.

Perhaps, with Luz Noceda here, The Boiling Isles wasn't doomed after all?

xxXXxxXXxx

Tyler Wittebane sat in the guest room that he was given by The Emperor of this cursed world. When that Golden Guard or whatever it was showed, flew both himself and his wife to a portal and delivered them to this place, he had thought he was being taken to heaven for his deeds.

But no, he was brought to this place. The Emperor, Belos, had told him to be patient, and that The Golden Guard would dispose of that nasty thorn in their side. And once it was over, he could return to his world.

But that never happened. What happened instead, was that The Golden Guard had returned, yes, but he reported that his fight with All For One had destroyed Gravesfield and that the portal closed just as he left. Meaning he was trapped here with his wife, in a world that was alien to him, and filled with the very creatures his family was made to hunt in the 1600s.

Anger spiked in his mind. He couldn't imagine being forced to live in a place like this, but here he was. In his own personal hell!

"Dear, are you alright?" Mary asked, her voice dripping with concern as Tyler frowned, arms crossed as he stared out of the guest room window.

"No, I am not. We are without a home, and under the roof of a magical beast. A magical beast we must indulge whilst we are here. However, I will get us through this. Just get some rest, and worry about your pregnancy, dear. Our son will not be born in this world. I will find a way out of here. That I can promise you."

As Tyler said that, he turned to see his wife, who stared at him with concern. His frown faltered, before he walked over to his wife, and sat next to her. He placed a hand on her forehead and smiled. "Do not worry, my love. I am fine. I will cope with this as best as possible. Besides, All For One is dead. We win."

"You're right, dear. We won but at the cost of our home. Gravesfield is gone, as is our empire…" Mary said, earning a dismissive wave from Tyler.

"Then we rebuild. We have a positive reputation in our home world. So it won't be hard. Do not think of the negatives, think of the positives. Now get some rest. I will be in bed shortly."

Mary turned around, facing the wall and resting her head on the pillow. Tyler stood up and approached the window once more. He gave the disgusting town another once over, closing the drapes, and turning out the light.

He was scheduled to speak to The Emperor in the morning, and he wasn't going to keep the man waiting. He was royalty, and Tyler wasn't. He was a peasant compared to him, and so he wasn't going to push his luck.

Joining his wife in bed, he pulled the covers up and over himself, before closing his eyes. Tomorrow was going to be a busy, busy day….
