I didn't want to delete this chapter so it will just be here. Think of this chapter as the end of part 1 and the start of part 2.


"A copy of me was able to take over this body." All For One said, looking at Akumi in a glass tank filling up with an unknown liquid. The tank glows green as she is propped upright inside. "Mind intact with all my memories." All For One has the widest grin on his face. "And that was only a sliver of my quirk that I had implanted in it. Imagine what it would be like if I put an entire copy."

"If we can perfect the process, you'll be able to live on forever. Always upgrading beyond the singularity with a new body," the doctor said.

"A never aging body has its benefits, but a forever adapting body is even better if done right." Placing a hand on the glass of the tank he says, "Shigaraki was the plan but with this little happy accident maybe you'll do so much better."

"This better had worked," the doctor said. "If losing the only person who believed in me wasn't enough, having failed the last request he asked of me would mean I lost it all." The percentage meter showed 90%.

Akumi is in the room back at the Wild Wild Pussycats' private property in the mountains. She checks the camera's storage. "I still have four more people to do this for." She takes a breath and sets the camera back on the table about to hit record. "I feel like this is the end of my life or something. Some sort of cliche."

Pressing the record button she begins her presentation. "Hey, Akari." A long silence after she finished speaking.

"We have so many secrets that we're keeping from each other. And yet we're still friends."

"I won't lie to you anymore. If you're watching this. I want you to know that…I'm sorry. For everything I'm going to do. For everything I haven't done. And for everything I did. I'm going to keep this short. Much shorter than everyone else's video because if I go on any longer I might just not be able to go through with what I'm going to do."

"All I got left to say to you is…if I had not pushed for the hero route I would still be there with you right now."

Akumi stopped the recording. "This is stupid."

Akari opens her eyes not hearing or seeing anything. She knows she's conscious yet she can't feel anything. All her senses were not responding. Although to her she was content with how it was now. She didn't have to do anything anymore. She could simply give up.

"So are the preparations done yet," Souta signals to Yasuo.

"Yes, brother. Everyone siding with you has arrived."

"Finally!" Jumping off of the chair he was sitting on he walks to center stage. As the curtains opened in front of him was an audience totaling 1523 people. "Ladies and Gentlemen. If you haven't heard, there is a new leader in town." The audience stays silent. "But then what does that make of me now? Do we just give up our plans and leave it to the new leader to pick up our slack? NO! Remember that he threw away the position. What else is he going to throw away? Of course, I don't need to be saying this since everyone here is loyal to me. So I'll give everyone here one chance to leave now. You all have family and friends who love and care about you. I wouldn't want to drag you into this war if your heart isn't in it."

No one in the audience had even moved one bit. Everyone was still silent as Souta began to speak again. "Everyone who stayed, be ready to kill to stay alive because we're going to war."

With that said the audience all together roars in unison. Everyone there has steeled themselves for the upcoming mayhem soon to come.

Shimizu-San is running as fast as she can, blood falling from her head leaving a small trail. She carries her unconscious cousin in her arms the best she can with her injuries. She couldn't rest, she was being followed.

A man wearing a black cloak tracks them following the blood trail. This scene would normally warrant a pro hero to intervene immediately but there were none present.

Two officers on patrol in their car nearby saw Shimizu-San. Going to investigate, they managed to stop her for a moment by driving in front of her. Both officers stepped out and the officers on the passenger side stood in front of Shimizu-San and said, "Miss, are you aware that you are bleeding severely?"

Catching her breath Shimizu-San frantically replied, "No, we're being chased! I can't…" Sensing death behind her she dodges to the left and the officer in front of her gets sent flying back slamming into a wall unconscious.

The man wearing the black cloak has caught up to them. The other officer on the driver's side stepped back and pressed his radio communicator shouting, "HQ please send in backup an officer is down and we have one female villain with an unknown ability!" Then pointing a gun at Shimizu-San he shouts, "We are currently located at—"

Before the officer could finish relaying their location the cloaked man had calmly walked over to and slammed down on that officer's head. The man, looking back to where Shimizu-San used to be, had lost sight of Shimizu-San. Her blood trail on the other hand was still fresh.

Youta punches a tree leaving an indent in it. "I knew that had to happen but…" He punches the tree again as hard as he can. "Just why does it have to be them who are hurt the most!" Youta began rapidly punching the tree until it fell. His fist bloodied and head fuming he didn't notice his father behind him.

"It's hard when you first start. But once you reach the end it might all be worth the sacrifice," his father said.

"Do you regret it," Youta asked.

"Only one thing."

"What was it?"

Youta's father places a hand on Youta. Youta looks down at his hands. Youta's father replied, "That it was paved in blood."

"Cities all over Japan are in chaos. And you still chose to go and do vigilante activities in rural areas," Aizawas scolds Maeko. "What's worse is that now you're taking Shinso with you."

"Those areas have also increased in small-time villain activities," Maeko defended herself. "Besides everyone knows all the big-time villains only attack the big cities."

"Nagai, you know better than to disobey what you are told. Not like the public cares now that the number one hero is dead. What's worse you've caught the attention of the Hero Public Safety Commission and they want to recruit you of all people."

"Me? What for?"

"Nothing good that's for sure."

"Izuku are you feeling any better," Ida asked an Izuku who was sitting on the couch in the dorm room lounge with dead eyes.

Blinking awake, Izuku's eyes lit back as he said, "Oh, Ida. Yes, I am feeling better now after talking with them."

"Talking with who? There's no one here."

"Ah, that's right you can't see them. It's the spirit of all the One For All users."

Ida looked at Izuku with worry on his face and asked, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"It sounds like I'm crazy, doesn't it? I'm telling you, I'm okay." Izuku scratches the back of his head. "Why? Do I not look okay?"

Ida goes over to sit across from Izuku. "You looked like you were going to make the same mistakes I made."

"So that's what I look like when I'm talking to them!" Izuku crouched forward putting his palms together. "Believe me, the only other person who could see them was Akari so I guess others might see this as me being not right in the head."

"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just a lot has happened. I know how easy it is to fall into that mindset and lose yourself."

"I know. I first thought that too, once. Before I met All Might I would have done what you did and sought revenge. But after seeing it from the other side I saw how stupid it was and how much trouble it caused for everyone." Looking Ida straight in the eye with a smile, Izuku says, "I'm okay Ida. Better than ever. Thank you for worrying about me."

"So whose side are you going to be on?" Kenji asked Daichi. They walked together down an unnamed street.

"Urgh! Why do they have to fight so much? All over a girl too. Why couldn't they just share her," Daichi responded.

A bit perturbed, Kenji said, "What do you mean by that?"

"You know, taking turns. How hard can it be? I mean I've been with Akumi for a short time and she didn't look like she cared too much about any of us."

"And that's the point Daichi. Akumi only cared for Youta and Akari. If she had paid equal attention to us then maybe we wouldn't be fighting with each other," Kenji said, adjusting his glasses.

"So now you're saying this is all over a girl too."

"No, what you said is different from what I said. In your context, it's because two parties want the same thing and that's why we're fighting. In my context, it's because one host didn't pay attention to everyone at the party."

"That's confusing."

Kenji comes to a stop as Daichi continues walking forward. "To put it simply. One girl's actions had a major impact on these upcoming events."

Daichi turning to face Kenji asks, "So whose side are you on?"

"I haven't entirely given up on the position yet," Kenji said. Then walking past Daichi and shrugging, "I'll side with whoever wins. No need to get my hands dirty if you're not running for leader anymore."

"Why are you so against me being the leader?" Daichi continues to walk alongside Kenji.

"It's because you are too straightforward. Those two would kill you before you get the chance to even notice."

"I didn't know you cared about me that much."

"I care about all four of us. But I don't see myself being able to stop those two from killing each other. The best I could do is keep us alive."

Bakugo sitting on his bed had just finished watching his message from Akumi again. He thinks to himself, "That Sponge." Then speaking softly he says, "If I had known you would've done that I would have talked to you then." He then shouts angrily, "Damn It!"

The doctor sits and watches from behind a screen as Akumi stabilizes very quickly. She taps on the glass towards the camera pointed at her. She stares directly at the doctor through the camera and smiles. She mouthed, "It worked."
