Chapter 32
All Might Reveal
They reached the train station, but it was to crowded. So they had to wait. Luckily it was by a tv and the news was going. Things seem to be going haywire with what was going on between All for One and All Might. Freya still held Bakugo's hands and both of them didn't seem to want to let go. Bakugo held her hand a little tighter then normal like she was his anchor. Freya looked at Bakugo and saw he looked exhausted. There was bags under his eyes. He looked as bad as Freya did.
"Katsuki?" Bakugo looked at Freya and saw her looking at him as Izuku got ahold of Todoroki on the phone. "You alright?" He didn't miss the worried look on her face or the dark circles under her eyes.
"I'm fine, now that I'm back with you and not with those losers." Bakugo said. He pulled her against his side and kissed her forehead. Freya relaxed at his touch. Kirishima pretended to gag to the point Bakugo shoved him without letting Freya's hand go. Kirishima laughed. Freya just smiled. "But Brat. You should be home. Your father isn't going to be happy your here."
"I had to come get you, so stop complaining." Freya said.
"Good. We're in front of the station." Izuku said. Freya looked at Izuku as he talked to Todoroki. "Luckily, we missed that last shockwave. Our rescue totally worked."
"A rescue?! That's not what happened back there. You idiots just happened to be my best escape route." Bakugo growled.
"Oh now I'm an idiot." Freya said with a sigh.
"Not you, Brat." Bakugo said. Kirishima gave the thumbs up.
"You're welcome." Kirishima said.
"I had to get out of there so All Might could destroy that guy." Bakugo said. Freya looked away. She hadn't said anything yet to anyone that All for One wanted her Quirks and hunted her family. Helicopter sounds came and Freya looked up to see two helicopters heading for the battle.
"We might still be able to see the fight if the media is heading that way." Iida said. The others nodded. Freya was worried for their teacher. All for One was strong just taking out the other Pros. Could All Might take him out?
'Please be careful All Might. You were our hero growing up. We hate to lose you.' Freya thought. People gasp. Freya looked up and eyes widen to see the fight being streamed on the tv. She was so deep in thought she didn't hear them announce a fight happening. All Might had All for one pinned to the ground. All Might went to punch him, and black and red energy surrounded All for One and sent All Might flying towards the helicopter. Gran Torino grabbed him before he hit the helicopter and pulled him out of the way.
"Least he's got help." Kirishima said as All for One struggled to his feet. All Might and Gran Torino land on the ground.
"I wish we could hear what is being said." Izuku said. Everyone nodded. All for One stands up.
"The scene below is straight out of a nightmare. Half of Camino Ward was demolished in a single, horrifying instant. All Might is currently fighting the villain who appears to have caused the blast. I can't believe it. How is one person so powerful? He destroyed the city and is more than holding his own against the Symbol of Peace." The Reporter said. Freya clenched her free fist. Freya saw All Might on the TV. He had blood coming out of his mouth and was coughing.
'He doesn't look good.' Freya said as All For One holds out his arms and talks about something. All for One's arm started to pulse and seem to grow. Grand Torino moves out of the way as All for One holds out his arm. Freya gasped as she saw a hand rise from the rubble as All for One aims for there. All for One sends an air blast. All Might jumps in front of it. An explosion rocks the air. The smoke clears and Freya put a hand to her mouth. Where All Might stood was a man that was skin and bone. His face was sulken in. Freya's eyes widen. She realized she saw him when she went to watch the entrance exams. 'That was All Might? What happened to him.' There were murmurs through the crowd.
"He looks like a skeleton." Someone said.
"Uh. What's wrong? Is... Is everyone seeing this? It looks like All Might's been shrunk somehow!" All Might said.
"Woah. What's wrong with him?" Kirishima said.
"Has he been hiding this from us and for how long?" Iida asked.
"I saw him." Freya said. Everyone looked at her. "He was in the entrance exam watch room. I didn't know that was him, but now I do. So, he has had that for awhile, but not sure how long." All Might continue to face All for One, holding his ground against the enemy. All Might held up his arm and clenched his fist. Freya knew he wasn't going to give up. All for One holds up a finger and seemed to say something that made All Might freeze and a shocked looked on All Might's face. All Might brought down his fist and he seemed to be trembling. Freya was worried for him.
'What did the enemy say to make All Might freeze?' Freya thought.
"Beat this guy." Bakugo mumbled. Others were starting to send encouragements.
"No way. What next?"
Freya, Kirishima, Iida, and Izuku look at the crowd.
"Is he gonna lose?"
"He's always been able to win before, so he can do it again, right?"
"Yeah, even if he looks totally different, he's still the same All Might."
Freya was almost in tears listening to them as Bakugo clenched his jaw.
"Come on, All Might, you can do it!"
The crowd was shouting.
"Beat this sucker!"
"Show him what you can do!"
Freya and Izuku turn back to the TV.
"Win this!" Izuku shouted.
"You got this!" Freya yelled.
"Beat him!" Bakugo yelled, tightening his grip on Freya's hand not enough to hurt her.
"Come on, All Might!" Bakugo, Freya, and Izuku shouted together. All Might's one hand seemed to light up as mussels formed but only on his right arm. Freya clung to Bakugo's arm as they continued to shout at the Tv. Tears streamed down her checks. Izuku was crying as well. All Might got in a fighting crouch. All for One float in the air. He holds out his arm and Freya held her breath as it pulses.
Flames hit All for One. The camera moves to show Endeavor standing there with Edgeshot.
"The others are joining." Kirishima said with relief.
"But will they be able to help?" Izuku asked. All for One goes to aim a blast at Endeavor. Edgeshot stops him from attacking as Kamui Woods gets Best Jeanist, Gang Orca, and Mount Lady out of the way so they weren't hurt in the blast more. Tiger pulled the woman that was stuck in the rubble out and moved her and Ragdoll out of the way. Freya sighed in relief. Edgeshot and Endeavor were in a heated battle above the rubble with All for One. It was like flames and streaks dancing in the sky around All for One. The Reporter continued to report but his talk could not be heard over the shouts of the crowd. Bakugo squeezed Freya's hand for reassurance as they continued to cheer on their childhood hero.
'C'mon All Might. Your still my hero with everything. Keep fighting.' Freya thought. All for One causes another blast sending Endeavor and Edgeshot flying. Freya gasped as All for one's arm seemed to expand till it was a huge arm with what looked like hands and horns in it.
"What... What is that?" Bakugo asked.
"Multiple quirks in his arm. Oh God. That's not good." Freya said. All Might clenched his jaw. All for One starts moving towards All Might. All Might's arm seemed to have gold lightning around it as he got ready. All for One goes to punch with his arm when All Might punches his arm. A blue energy ball comes in the middle and causes an explosion. Freya gritted her teeth as All for One's arm seemed to pulse and All for one started to push All Might back. Everyone gasped as All Might's arm split and blood poured out and he coughed up blood.
"He's struggling." Iida said. Freya and Bakugo stood watching in horror. All Might shoved his foot into the ground to slow the movement. They came to a stop and the ground split under their feet. Freya's eyes widen as his left arm got muscular. He punched All for One with his left arm. All for One turned and his other arm grew in size.
"C'mon." Freya and Bakugo said together. All Might threw his busted arm back. It got back its mussel as it lit up with energy. All Might punches All for One in the face and slams him hard into the ground. The punch sent a whirlwind of wind sending the helicopter flying back. Everyone held their breath as the helicopter steadied itself and the cameraman got back to filming. The smoke cleared and All for One laid on the ground, not moving with All Might over him. All Might slowly held up his fist and transformed into his muscular self. Freya threw her arms around Bakugo, and they hugged. Both relieved All Might had survived this fight as cheers rang through the crowd.
"All Might wins!" The Reporter cried out. He sounded like he was crying. Freya let Bakugo go, but he kept an arm around her waist and she had a hand on his chest. "The villain's not moving! He's knocked out! All Might stands victorious! He's saved us yet again!" All Might falls to his knees but still stands strong. The crowd started chanting for All Might. Izuku broke down crying. Bakugo looked at him but didn't say anything. Freya sighed.
"He won. But at what cost." Freya said.
"This might be his final job. We won't know till later." Iida said. Everyone nodded.
Dawn was starting to come as they waited in line but there seemed to be no trains moving. Heroes were already starting rescue operation.
"We can't go anywhere. I wish we could find Todoroki and Yaoyorozu." Iida said.
"Let's just head that way. We should let the heroes know we got Bakugo in case they're looking for us." Kirishima said.
"He's right." Freya said as Bakugo didn't look happy, but they started walking.
"Good idea." Iida said.
"Now." Everyone turned to look at the Tv screen to see All Might pointing at the camera. "Now. It's your turn." Freya wondered what he meant as Izuku suddenly started crying again as the crowd cheers for All Might.
They met up with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu and got their stuff from the lockers they stored their clothes. They all change and took Bakugo to the police station.
"We'll take it from here. The six of you should go home." The cop said. Bakugo grabbed Freya's arm.
"I'll call you when I get home so you can come over. Try and get some sleep, Brat." Bakugo said.
"I will." Freya said. The six friends watched as the cops took Bakugo into the police station. Freya knew he would be back home soon. They were just going to ask him questions. Freya was happy he was home. Freya heard her phone go off. Freya looked at the caller ID and eyes widen. Freya answered.
"Hi dad." Freya said.
"Don't hello dad me. I know where you are. All Might got ahold of me." Aizawa said. Freya paled and her friends heard it and gasped. "Get your butt home and we are gonna have a talk." He hung up. Freya bowed her head.
"Hope you're not in too much trouble." Yaoyorozu said.
"Hopefully. Let's go home, guys." Freya said. Everyone turned and headed towards the train station.
AN: Man, I was crying writing this chapter. That scene always gets to me. Till next time.
