In a secret location in Hosu after All for One hanged up on Garou
All for One's pov
After I ended the call with Garou, my face immediately turns into a serious expression. "I thought you said you would have him under our control." I say as Gyoro Gyoro's little bug form appears from the shadows of my room. "My telekinesis is powerful, but there are side effects." Gyoro Gyoro says. "Such as?" I ask.
"If I were to use my telekinesis on his mind he would be brain dead and therefore useless." Gyoro Gyoro explains. "I see. While it is unfortunate, I am more curious as to what you did to him after we handed him over to you." I say. "If you must know, I harvested his blood." Gyoro Gyoro answers as I look confused. Why would he need Garou's blood?
"I see you're confused, so I will explain. You see, in order to create monster cells, I needed the blood of a true monster. However, they all perished long ago and I was created by other monsters. The only way for a true monster to be made is for the individual to come close to death and survive. As we observed from Garou's battle in the forest, he nearly died but survived in time. It's quite impressive since most of the subjects that I have tested on were unable to survive." Gyoro Gyoro explains.
"I see. So, does that mean Garou will continue to transform?" I ask. "Yes." Gyoro Gyoro answers. "Then, why don't we help him out." I say, smirking. "Aw, I like the way you think. I will have a couple of new monsters that I have created to spy on Garou. If he doesn't do what you told him to do, they will dispose of him." Gyoro Gyoro says. I hope that Garou does fail in his task, so that I will have one problem out of the way. I'm also growing concerned about Gyoro Gyoro and his creations. They've begun to flood my base and they've built an underground section under it. It's like they're trying to take over. I will deal with it. Eventually.
Present time at Dagoba Beach
Garou's pov
After I finished lunch, I decide to go visit Dagoba Beach. It used to be a beautiful place in Moustafa, but people being people lead to the entire beach being covered in garbage. When I arrive I notice that the whole beach is cleaned. Wow, who cleaned it up? It looks like how it used to be before. I forgot how beautiful it was.
While walking, I notice three kids picking on another kid on the beach. I get a closer look to see that the kid they are picking is Kota, the turd that I protected a while back. I am about to walk away when I hear the kids talking. "Take this you villain!" A big kid yells, throwing a rock at Kota. "How dare you side with a villain!" A long headed kid yells. "He must be a villain if he released that video on the heroes!" A short kid yells. As I hear all of this, it reminds me of what the kids in my class did to me.
I breathe in deep before screaming, "STOP IT!" The bullies stop and look at me. When they lay their eyes on me, they instantly get scared and run away, crying for their mommies. I walk up to Kota who is on his knees and crying with eyes shut. "I told you, if you want them to stop picking on you then you have to get strong." I say to Kota as he finally looks at me.
"G…Garou?" Kota questions. "Been a while, huh?" I say with a smirk. "GAROU!" Kota yells as he lunges forward, hugging me. "Uh?" I don't know what to do. "When you didn't appear for two weeks, I thought you had died!" Kota says, crying. "Well, I'm fine as you can see. So, can you let go now?" I ask, annoyed. I wanted to say hi, not get sentimental. "Oh! Sorry." Kota apologizes. "*sigh* You better go home. It's getting dark. Might be some villains out there." I tell Kota as I walk away. Suddenly, I hear sniffling. "Garou…I'm sorry…for having to leave you after your fight." Kota apologizes. Why is he apologizing to me?
"I…was recording the whole time. Even though the heroes eventually beat you, what they did was wrong. Because you…you protected me from their bullets. And just now you saved me again. I believe that because you saved me then you must be a real hero. A true hero—" I cut him off by covering his mouth. "Shut your mouth! I am not a fucking hero!" I yell. I hate being compared to a hero. Why won't these people get it through their thick skulls that I am not a hero. I notice that Kota starts to look scared, so I breathe in and out. "Sorry, but—", "SMASH!" Another voice yells as I dodge an incoming punch.
"What the…" I look at my attacker and see a kid with curly green hair and with the tips of his hair having a pink tint, and is wearing a UA uniform. "I won't let you hurt the kid, Garou!" The kid says as he stands up. "You." I say, recognizing him as the kid who ambushed me at the USJ. Izuku Midoriya. "Garou, you have to get out of here! You're still wounded!" Kota yells from behind me. "If you come quietly, I'm sure you won't be harmed any further. This doesn't have to get violent." Midoriya says, noticing the bandages that are still poking through my clothes. Are you kidding me?
First it was the League of Villains, now even fodder heroes and kids are taking pity on me. This is pathetic! I'm not sure why, but when I heard that the Geezer actually survived, it was like a load fell off my chest. This pisses me off! Forget about what I have to do to be accepted as a monster, this just shows I still lack definitive resolve. I don't want to follow the instructions of the League of Villains, but I'm going to do it regardless. I will cut off this kid's head! "Don't underestimate me kid. I'm not some common crook, I'm a monster and you will fear me!" I yell.
We stand there for a few seconds before Midoriya used his quirk to dash at me. "DETROIT SMASH!" Midoriya yells his move. "FIST OF FLOWING WATER CRUSHING ROCK!" I yell as I break through his attack, making him stagger. I take this chance to attack all of his pressure points. I punch him in the chest, sending him back fifty yards. I dash at him as I repeatedly punch his face into the ground. I stand over his bloody body as I am about to finish him off, but stop. He's just a student, not a pro. There's no point in killing someone who isn't a hero yet. I simply knee him in the face, knocking him out. He's not worth it.
"Garou, are you okay?" Kota asks. "…I'm fine. Now head home—", "Garou." A creepy voice calls my name. I turn to see a guy covered head to toe with bandages, wearing a butcher's apron, has long black hair, and two long blades imbedded into his hands. "You are not one of us." The guy says in a psychotic way.
"It's unfortunate that the Master was wrong about you." Another voice says in the form of some muscly bug. "I can not sense the monster instinct within you." The bug says. Great, more annoying pests. "Hey kid, don't stand there, go home right now. It seems these guys and I need to have a chat." I tell Kota as he looks scared. "What…What are they?" Kota shudders in fear. "I am Royal Ripper and I've ripped open quite a few kids. Hehehe!" Royal Ripper chuckles, evilly. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Kota screams at the top of his lungs. "Hey! Get a hold on yourself and stand up!" I tell Kota. "Master Gyoro Gyoro never mentioned you had a little friend. This will be fun." Royal Ripper says, joyfully.
"Hey, you want to mess with someone, mess with me." I say, trying to get their attention. "Oh? My apologies, it wasn't my intention to make you cry! Hahaha!" Royal Ripper laughs. "I wanted to wait a bit before hearing your screams. I'm truly sorry." Royal Ripper says.
"Enough Royal Ripper. Let's finish our mission and kill both of them." The bug orders Royal Ripper. "Fine, Bug God." Royal Ripper says as he drags his blade across the ground. "Stay back." I tell Kota as I get ready to fight.
"Why are you after me?" I ask the two monsters in front of me. "We've been ordered by Gyoro Gyoro to watch your every move. To decide whether you deserve to be one of us. A monster." Royal Ripper explains. As they get closer, I rip the bandages off my hands. They're healed enough. "Hero Hunter, are you just some weirdo obsessed with telling everyone 'I'm a monster'?" Royal Ripper asks, mocking me. "Hehehe, That's one cocky attitude you got there, but to answer your question, I'm more of a monster than you." I say with a smirk. "Then kill the child." Royal Ripper says.
"Huh? What are you getting at?" I ask as I glance at Kota to see that he's looking terrified. "Monsters are beings who have abandoned their humanity and exist detached from the world of humans." Bug God explains. "We saw you rescue the child and it will not do. You must kill him." Bug God urges me to kill Kota, but I am not going to do it. "If you wish to become one of us, then you must earn our trust. And you have yet to abandon your humanity." Bug God says, annoyed that I haven't killed Kota.
"We don't need some half-assed failure. We need monsters who will do anything to reclaim what is rightfully ours and kill and annihilate everything and everyone." Royal Ripper says, crossing his blades together. "Plus, you refused to end the life of the hero below you. We can't have someone afraid to kill within our ranks." Royal Ripper says, pointing out Midoriya's unconscious body.
"Kid, I've told you before and I'll tell you again. Hurry up and go home." I tell Kota. "I…I…I can't! I'm…I'm scared!" Kota stutters in fear. "IDIOT!" I yells at Kota. "If you can't stand on your own, don't expect someone to come and save you! Nobody's gonna give a damn!" I scold Kota. "And stop your crying! You'll need to protect yourself! In situations like this, you need to be strong! SO GET UP AND RUN, KOTA!" I yell at Kota as he finally stands up.
Suddenly, Royal Ripper tries to stab Kota while I have my back turned, but I grab the blade with my hands before the blade reaches Kota. While Royal Ripper is in shock, I flip him over my back and kick him in the stomach while he is in midair sending him flying. However, Royal Ripper used his blades to stab the ground and land on his feet. "Ugh, That hurt." Royal Ripper says as his arms heal.
I turn to see Kota finally running away. Finally, he's gone. "It seems you choose to be our enemy." Royal Ripper says while sharpening his blades. "The self- proclaimed Hero Hunter who has never killed a single human. As I thought, you're just a fake!" Bug God yells, preparing to join the fight. "You're really pissing me off." I say as I get into my fighting stance as both monsters charge at me.
In Gyoro Gyoro's lair
All for One's pov
I observe the battle between Garou and the two monsters from one Gyoro Gyoro's bugs that he uses. While watching, a question pops in my head. "Excuse me, I have a question." I say to Gyoro Gyoro as he meditates on his beanbag. "I don't like to be disturbed while I'm meditating, but what is it?" Gyoro Gyoro asks.
"Why did you send Royal Ripper and Bug God to tail Garou? You wouldn't need to send combat-type monsters just to observe." I say. "Why not? Those get along surprisingly well. Who knows, maybe they'll show Garou how to kill a hero step by step." Gyoro Gyoro jokes. "Enough with the jokes." I threaten him.
"From what I could observe of them, they could kill Garou on a whim." I say. "Exactly. Encountering them will stimulate Garou and facilitate his growth." Gyoro Gyoro says. "Growth?" I ask. "For someone as indecisive as he is, this will also be a test. First, Garou needs to be much more…ravaged. Both physically and mentally. What changes will we see in Garou after he experiences a monster firsthand? I'm really looking forward to it." Gyoro Gyoro says with glee. Not sure I share your sentiment.
"What exactly are you after? What do you wish to use Garou for? I thought we agreed that we would kill him." I say. "Hehehe, You'll see." Gyoro Gyoro says. Yes, I will see.
At the fight at Dagoba Beach
Garou's pov
I punch Bug God in the chest as hard as I could, but his insect skin is too durable for me to break. I pull my hand back to see my knuckles bleeding from the punch. Suddenly, Royal Ripper tries to slash at me at high speeds, but I dodge at high speeds as well. I use (FOFWCR) to redirect the blades so they couldn't hit me.
However, Big God tries to attack me from behind. Perfect. I redirect Royal Riper's blades to slash at Bug God, stunning him. I jump back to get some distance between us, but Bug God recovers and slams his massive fist on top of me. I hold it up as best I can, but Bug God uses his other hand to backhand me into nearby power lines.
When I make contact with power lines, I get heavily electrocuted as blood pours out of my nose and mouth as the power lines pull back with me. However, I use the momentum from the hit to let the power lines shoot back the monsters, like a slingshot. Both monsters charge at me as I shot forward, roaring. While I'm midair I twist my body to kick them both as smoke comes off my body.
The impact creates a large cloud of dust around us. When the dust clears, we are still in fighting shape even if the ground is filled with craters and smoke. I can beat them. They're nothing compared to the old man.
"I can't believe a human can be this durable." Bug God says in disbelief. "Even though it's 2 on 1 you're still strong against us." Royal Riper says, angrily. "I was only gonna play with him, but forget it. Let's kill him." Royal Ripper says, psychotically. "Now we're officially getting started." Bug God says.
"I don't mind counting, but I've figured out all your moves." I say as I spit a tooth into the ground, hard and forming a small creator. "You'll never land another hit on me." I say with a bloody smirk. However, they both look behind me confused.
"Let…me…go." I hear a voice say, raspy. I turn around to see some kind of sludge monster holding Midoriya hostage. "Sludge Jellyfish? What are you doing here?" Bug God asks. "Thought you could use assistance, so I captured the hero he beat up earlier." Jellyfish says. "Damn it! Let him go! The kid has nothing to do with it." I yell to try and get the monster to let Midoriya go. It's not that I care for him, I just don't want a kid's death on my mind forev—.
SLASH!
Suddenly, I feel a blade slash my back. I turn to see Royal Ripper with my blood on his blade. Then Bug God comes out of nowhere and punches me in the gut. They don't stop as they punch and cut me into a bloody pulp. Royal Ripper is about to finish me off when a shockwave sends him back. I can't see who it is since my vision begins to blur.
Earlier before the fight
Midoriya's pov
I am walking by Dagoba beach just trying to clear my head. This beach means a lot to me because not only did I clean by myself, but it was the place where All Might gave me his power. The reason I'm here today is because of what happened two days ago. When Stain died, the doctors assumed it was because of a Nomu. But I know that it was me.
The punch I delivered to him must have crushed his rib cage, piercing his lungs. I haven't told anyone because…I'm afraid. What if they think I'm a villain for killing Stain? Will they throw me in prison? Will All Might take his power back? Grr! What should I do?! "STOP IT!" Someone yells from a distance.
Curious, I run to where the voice came from and see a kid with a red hat crying while talking to a man. The guy had red hair with two pointy ends on the top and is wearing black clothing. Why does he look familiar? I sneak closer to see his face until he turns and walks away.
I finally get a good look at his face. Wait, is that…oh god! Garou?! Here?! What's he doing here? And where has he been hiding? I can't hear what the kid is saying, but then Garou puts his hand over the kid's mouth and looks pissed. Oh no! He's going to hurt him!
Without thinking, I charge One for All and dash at Garou to punch him as I yell smash, but he simply dodges. "I won't let you hurt the kid, Garou!" I yell at him. "You." Garou says, recognizing me. "Garou, you have to get out of here! You're still wounded!" The kid yells at Garou to run, but he doesn't.
Why is the kid worried about Garou? Didn't he try to hurt him? I look closely at Garou and notice some bandages poking out of his clothes. He still must be wounded from his fight from two weeks ago. I don't want to make this difficult. I know I can't beat him, but maybe I can convince him to surrender. "If you come quietly, I'm sure you won't be harmed any further." I tell Garou as he gritted his teeth.
"Don't underestimate me kid. I'm not some common crook. I'm a monster and you will fear me!" Garou says, getting in his stance. I don't have time to call for backup. I have to stop him now! We stand still for a few seconds before I charge at him. "DETROIT SMASH!" I yell. "FIST OF FLOWING WATER CRUSHING ROCK!" Garou yells as he breaks through my attacks and attacks all my pressure points. GRR! IT HURTS! SO MUCH!
He sends me back quite a ways and continues to punch me in my face and leaves me in a bloody pile. I could faintly see that he is about to finish me, but he stops and walks away. Why did he spare me? I can't continue my thoughts as I start to black out. I have to get up! So…he…doesn't…
I suddenly wake up in a strange place. I look around and see that my body is engulfed in green smoke and with a hint of pink. "Where…am I?" I ask myself. I look and see the seven figures from the Sports Festival again. Only this time, they spoke. "Don't lose yourself." They say. "What do you—" Suddenly, I hear footsteps. Loud and heavy footsteps. Then suddenly the dark area turned into a beautiful field of flowers and plants. I am briefly mesmerized by the beauty before my eyes land on something massive. A tall humanoid creature, its skin reminiscent of Jupiter's surface with countless spiraling spots overlapping over one another.
"What… are you?" I ask. "I've been known by many names, but your kind call me God." The creature known as God says. "G…God?" I say to myself in shock. "W…What do you want?" I ask. "It is not what I want, but what is it you want? God says. I look confused. "I can grant you power beyond belief. All you have to do is take my hand and you can be the greatest hero you want to be." God says as a gust of wind and dirt blew in front of me, forming a hand.
Do I take it? I mean he said that I could be the hero I want to be. Plus, it's God. The one from the Bible that is a force of good. I go to take his hand when a sudden force grabs me from behind. "IZUKU!" A voice calls out to me. I turn to see a young man with white hair reaching out to me while he is pushing through some sort of inter dimensional barrier. "Don't listen to him! He's lying! He'll only use you! Take my hand before it's too late!" The man yells at me as he looks to be struggling.
It takes me a second or so when I take the young man's hand and get pulled through the barrier with him. "You'll regret your decision, boy." I heard God says before I enter the space I arrived at earlier. "You made the right decision." The man says. "Who are you and what was that?!" I ask, breathing heavily. "I can't explain now. Right now, you need to wake up or you'll be killed." The man says. I am about to ask when I wake up and I immediately feel tremendous pain in my body, but not as much as before.
Somehow, my body healed itself. I notice that I'm in the hold of some slime villain. "Let…me…go." I say to it. I look up to see Garou standing against two villains of sorts. I can't hear what they were saying until Garou speaks. "Damn it! Let him go! The kid has nothing to do with it!" Garou yells. Suddenly, the knife hand villain slashes at Garou as well as the bug villain. They keep beating and slashing him into a bloody pile. No. I can't let them kill him. Even if he is a villain, I can't just let him die. What kind of hero would I be?!
I suddenly felt my strength return as both green and pink lightning surrounds me. Using my strength, I broke through the slime monster's grip and run towards Garou. "One for All! 100% SMASH!" I yell as I punch the air, sending a massive shockwave at the two villains, blasting them far into the ocean. But my punch did more than that. It split a little bit ocean in two.
How…How did I do that? The last time I used 100%, my arm broke completely, but it isn't. Something is happening to me. "You little shit!" The slime monster yells in anger. I then hear two people land behind me. I turn to see the two villains before and they look pissed.
"No one messes with my fun and gets away with it." The knife hand monster says, sharpening his wet blades. The bug monster roars and charges at me, but then suddenly someone jumps in front of me and blocks the attack. "What the—", "That hurt you bastards." Garou says, now with his clothes bloody and torn up and he now sports a scar running against his head. "H…How did you heal so quickly?" I ask, shocked. "Not now brat." Garou says as I look around and see that the three villains have us surrounded.
"Listen, I don't like you and you don't like me, but we got to work together to get out alive. Once that's done, then we can fight." Garou says. I begrudgingly nod and prepare for the fight.
(Note: And now God has been established. So, prepare for what will happen next. Also, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm going to make Deku turn into Boros. Why? Because I really want a fight between the two. And yes, I know Boros can't beat Cosmic Garou, but I have everything planned, so don't worry.)
