In the city, Shoto pulled out his cell phone and called Izuku, "Midoriya. Are you four safe?"

Izuku replied, "Yeah. How about you guys? No one saw you?"

Shoto said, "I don't think so. We're on the street, blending in with the crowd now. Some pros are here helping people evacuate."

Izuku replied, "Good. We're stopped in front of the station. Luckily, we missed that last shockwave. Our rescue totally worked."

Bakugo shouted, "A rescue? That's not what happened back there. You idiots just happened to be my best escape route."

Kirishima grinned, "You're welcome."

Bakugo then said, "I had to get out of there so All MIght could destroy that guy. Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, it also allows Fenton to go all out."

Izuku replied, "He's right. We would've been in the way. The smart thing to do was leave him to it. Gran Torino and Danny can help him out. Although Danny might get in trouble fighting without a license. We made the right decision. Didn't we?"

Back at the main fight, All For One was still on the ground, mocking All Might, "You have so much in common with Nana Shimura, the utter waste of a human who passed One For All onto you."

All Might retorted, "My master was a true hero. Keep her name out of your filthy mouth."

But All For One kept going, "A woman with no skill, and grand ideas she couldn't live up to. How embarrassing for me, the creator of One For All, to see her inherit the power. And the way she died was so pathetic. Shall I tell you about it?"

"Enough!" All Might shouted as he tried to punch All For One, but the villain charged an attack and blasted All Might into the sky.

He nearly collided with a news helicopter, but Gran Torino grabbed All Might, "It's the same as last time. Toshinori. Calm down! Six years ago, you got distracted and that's how he escaped. And put a hole in your stomach. That's always been your weakness. Don't let him get under your skin."

They landed on the ground and All Might replied, "Yes, sir."

All For One said, "You're in the way."

Suddenly he was blasted away by Phantom, "And you're a crazy fruit loop." He flew over to All Might and Gran Torino.

All Might said, "You shouldn't be here, young Fenton. You don't have your license."

Phantom huffed, "Do you really think I care about that right now? You two need my help. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get the final punch and all the glory. Plus, All Might, you're having a hard time maintaining your hero form."

Gran Torino sighed, "He's just like you, Toshinori. Fine, kid. You can help. But if you get in trouble with the law, don't say I didn't warn you." He then glared at All For One, who was getting up from where Phantom blasted him. "His Quirks and fighting style are completely different than they were. You won't be able to stop him head on. Use your wits. Toshinori, can you still fight? It's do or die! You must go past your limit!"

All Might nodded, "I will."

Gran Torino looked over at Phantom, "What about you, kid. Will you go all out?"

Phantom nodded, "Yes."

Up on the news helicopter, a reporter was having his cameraman record the fight below and he reported, "The scene below's straight out of a nightmare. Half of Camino Ward was demolished in a single, horrific 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's destroyed the city and is more than holding his own against the Symbol of Peace."

People were watching the news report and had several opinions about it, ranging from cheering on All Might, to commenting on how All Might looked withered.

All Might coughed blood as All For One said, "I find myself conflicted. Tomura has been the one to chip away at society's trust in heroes, so is it fair that I should land the final blow? You know, All Might, as much as you hate me, I think I probably loathe you more. I killed your master, sure. But you took away so much from me, everything I tried to build. That's why I want you to suffer until your last breath, and die broken and disgraced, for all the world to see."

He charged up his arm, ready to attack.

Gran Torino shouted, "Big one's coming! Dodge and counter!"

Phantom got ready to fight, but he noticed All For One wasn't aiming at the heroes, but at something behind him. All Might noticed it too, and saw a woman in the rubble behind him.

"Not everyone's so fast," All For One said. "I will obliterate everything you've protected."

Gran Torino had launched himself towards All For One, but turned around to warm All Might and Phantom. All Might looked at Phantom and nodded. He jumped in front of the woman while Phantom charged at All For One.

The villain unleashed a powerful wind attack, which All Might blocked and Phantom turned intangible and then punched All For One in the face, knocking him back several feet.

All For One growled, "You're getting in the way, brat. No wonder Tomura hates you so much."

Phantom grinned, "Join the club. You're just a crazy Darth Vader wannabe, no scratch that, you're Emperor Palpatine. You just want to rule over the entire world, just like every other crazy fruit loop. And it's my job to stop crazy fruit loops like you." He then unleashed a massive ice attack, freezing All For One in place.

But the villain quickly broke free and rushed at Phantom, putting a lot of power behind his punch, knocking Phantom back a few feet.

All For One then said, "I don't know what you are. I couldn't steal your Quirk. You intrigue me so. What exactly are you?"

Phantom coughed, "I'm Phantom. Just trying to be a true hero. And I'm here to stop you."

He charged in, but All For One countered, "So predictable." And attacked Phantom, sending him flying. Gran Torino jumped up and grabbed Phantom, bringing him safely to the ground.

All For One looked over at All Might, who was much closer to his normal form than before. "Back to you. First to go will be your self-respect, and ridiculous public image. Show the world how pitiful you really are, Symbol of Peace."

The cameraman focused on All Might, showing the whole world. Everyone was shocked. Izuku was freaking out, as now All Might's secret was out in the open.

All For One chuckled, "Hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. To think you're the greatest hero. Now the adoring public knows your true form. Try not to be ashamed. Your move."

All Might replied, "Even as my body rots and grows frail. Even as you expose my weakened state. In my heart, I remain the Symbol of Peace. And there's nothing you can do to take that from me."

Phantom chuckled next to him, "Yeah, no eyes." Gran Torino shushed him.

All For One said, "Is that so? Ah, well. I'd forgotten how stubborn you are. I guess I'll just give up. Oh! But there is one thing you might be interested to know. Tomura Shigaraki? My apprentice? He's Nana Shimura's grandson."

All Might was shocked, along with Gran Torino. Phantom muttered, "OK, that was a mic drop moment."

All For One continued, "I kept wondering what would annihilate your golden heart. And so I found Tomura. Groomed him to hate you, and watched you smile so proudly as you beat your master's descendant."

Phantom said, "OK, you are seriously one messed up fruit loop."

All For One continued, "Huh. Well, well. That's strange, All Might. Where is your smile now?"

All Might muttered, "You bastard."

All For One laughed, "How very entertaining. I think I've taken a piece of you after all."

All Might said, "He's my master's grandchild. My god, what would she say if she knew how we turned out?" He then screamed in fury.

Phantom heard a woman groan behind him, and it was the same woman. He flew to her and turned her intangible to get her out of the rubble. She then said to All Might, "Don't lose. Keep going, All Might! We need you!"

Phantom quickly created a duplicate and flew the woman to safety. The duplicate saw that the crowd was starting to cheer All Might on. He heard both Izuku and Bakugo shout, "Come on, All Might!"

The duplicate flew back and merged back with Phantom. He then said, "All Might. You heard her. I heard everyone out there. They're cheering for you. You can beat this fruit loop. I know you are on limited power, probably even on the last of it, so gather up all the power you have to beat this creep into the ground. I'll give you time to do so."

Phantom then glared at All For One, who chuckled, "What? You're going to fight me instead of the Symbol of Peace? Figures, since he won't fight me after that revelation."

Phantom raised his glowing green fists, "You have such little faith in him. I'm just the opening act, old man."

He then charged at All For One, who countered, but Phantom saw it coming. He turned intangible, then punched All For One.

They fought back and forth for some time while All Might stared at them fighting. He knew Phantom was right. The world still needed him.

"Fear not," All Might muttered. "I'm not done yet."

All Might then glared at All For One, who was struggling to get up. "You were right. A hero has so much to protect in this world. Which is why I will defeat you!"

All For One managed to float into the air. "There it is. That's the last of your strength, isn't it, All Might? A wounded hero is a most frightening animal. Do you know that even now I sometimes dream of you charging at me with your entrails strewn across the ground. You have what, two or three punches left?"

Phantom floated after him, "We're not done yet, fruit loop."

Suddenly, there was a fire blast that All For One barely dodged. Endeavor came running, "Are you serious? What the hell's going on with that weak little body?!"

Edgeshot stood next to Endeavor, "Looks like we made it just in time. Now, Tsukauchi must've expected this. He feared for his friend's life. But why is that student with the ghost powers here?"

All For One was intrigued, "Those Nomu weren't particularly strong, but I'm still impressed you handled them so quickly. As expected for the man who clawed his way to the number two spot."

He was then punched by Phantom, who muttered, "OK, he's got that fire fruit loop there."

Endeavor growled, "Damn it, All Might! Stand up and show them why you're better! And don't let this brat do all your dirty work!"

Phantom was pissed, "Hey!"

All For One said, "If the only reason you're here is to cheer him on, I'd prefer you to remain silent."

He tried to attack, but Edgeshot charged in first, "Think again, madman. We're here to assist."

Kamui Woods then jumped in and grabbed Best Jeanist and Mt. Lady with his vines. "That's our jobs as heroes!"

All Might muttered, "All of you came."

Tiger came out carrying Ragdoll, "Of course we did. We can't do much, but if we can just help a little, then we have fulfilled our duty."

Phantom added, "That's what being a hero is." He then shot an ecto blast at All For One for good measure."

All Might smiled, "Thank you."

Tiger said, "You have to stop him, All Might. This personification of evil. Pros and citizens everywhere are praying for your victory."

Phantom added, "I did just say that earlier. Dude, no matter what you look like, you're still everyone's number one hero."

All For One charged an attack, "How pointless." He unleashed the attack, but Phantom quickly put up a giant ghost shield around everyone.

All For One clapped, "Very good, ghost child. But let's stop dwelling on heroism and start focusing on reality. Springlike Limbs. Kinetic Booster times four. Strength Enhancer times three. Multiplier. Hypertrophy. Rivets. Air Walk. Spearlike Bones. The shockwaves until now were simply to wear you out, All Might. I knew it would take much more than that to kill you. In order to put you down for good, I'll punch you with the ultimate combination of Quirks I have stored within me right now. This will end you."

His one arm was ready to attack All Might, but he quickly blasted the other heroes, minus All Might and Phantom, away with his other arm. Gran Torino was slightly blasted away.

All For One then glared back at All Might, "I wasn't certain until we exchanged blows tonight. But now I am. One For All no longer dwells within you. What you're attacking me with is just a lingering ghost. The embers that remain from what you've already passed on. And that fire gets weaker every time you use it. Even now, it's a feeble spark about to put itself out. Izuku Midoriya. He's the child you passed One For All on to, isn't he? I bet he came here without your asking. Just like this ghost child. You have no control over him, do you? It sounds as though you'll die full of regrets, All Might. As a hero and a teacher."

All For One charged in at All Might, but then Phantom stood in front of the number one hero and unleashed his Ghostly Wail at the villain, forcing him backwards several yards, hitting the ground hard.

Phantom stopped his attack and knelt to the ground, weakened. He looked back at All Might, "I just bought you some time."

All Might said, "Thank you, Phantom. Let me finish this. Don't waste all your strength. Use what's left to go and find your friends. Don't try to argue with me. You need to fight another day."

Phantom wanted to argue, but knew All Might was right. He then turned invisible and disappeared.

All For One struggled to stand, but was able to charge at All Might, who blocked his attack.

All For One growled, "Impact Recoil!" That forced All Might to be pushed back, but he held firm.

All Might said, "You're right. As their teacher, I should have reprimanded both boys for coming here. I failed. Even though Fenton wouldn't listen anyway. But I still have to make it up to both of them."

All For One replied, "I see. The weak embers inside you are resisting. Trying to rekindle some of your former strength. A desperate attempt to rage against the inevitable, and fulfill your duty. But it's not enough." He put more into the attack, but noticed his arm was starting to get smaller.

All Might noticed this too, "So, Phantom's ultimate attack did weaken you. You're trying to fight the inevitable too. But I'll beat you. Not because I'm a symbol, but because I will do as my master did for me. Until I finish training Young Midoriya, until Young Fenton is ready to become a full on pro hero, until they're both ready, I won't, I refuse to die!" All Might swung his other hand right at All For One's face.

Gran Torino was shocked at what he witnessed. All Might had used his right arm as bait to use his left arm to hit All For One.

But the villain said, "A clever trick. That's so unlike you. Still weak though!" He tried to charge his other arm, but found he couldn't. All Might was right, Phantom's ultimate attack did weaken him.

All Might grinned, "That's because I didn't put my back into it that time!" He remembered his master's words about One For All, and charged up his right arm. "Goodbye, All For One." He punched All For One right in the face. "United States of Smash!" He punched All For One into the ground, causing a massive whirlwind, causing Gran Torino and the nearby news helicopter to blow away.

All Might then thought, "Goodbye, One For All."

All the world was watching on baited breath to see if All Might had won. Phantom flew around and found his friends near the station watching the news. He quietly floated down and landed next to Izuku.

Back at the battlefield, All For One was unconscious on the ground. All Might struggled, but put his fist up into the air, signifying that he won.

The people around the world cheered for All Might's victory.

Phantom transformed back into his normal form as the crowd around him cheered. He then turned visible, "Way to go, All Might."

Izuku heard him and turned to see Danny, "Danny!" He hugged his friend. Bakugo, Shoto, Kirishima, Tenya, and Momo heard this and saw Izuku hugging Danny. Kirishima and Tenya joined in on the hug.

Danny muttered, "OK, guys. Back up a little. I'm OK." The boys got off him, but then Momo rushed over to hug him.

"I'm so glad you're safe," Momo muttered. Danny returned the hug.

Back on the battlefield, All Might was able to return to his hero form, but briefly as he was still weakened.

Edgeshot was nearby, "He shouldn't push himself."

Gran Torino was also nearby, "Let him be. He's still working. This is his last job."

Endeavor looked around for Phantom, but the ghost boy was nowhere to be found.

The people around the world started to cheer All Might's name.

As dawn approached, other heroes appeared to help with the cleanup/rescue of people still trapped. Police arrived and locked up All For One into a secure police transport vehicle. A female reporter was nearby reporting the events. All Might noticed this and pointed to the news camera, causing the reporter to go silent.

At the station, Tenya said, "The trains aren't running. What should we do?"

Kirishima replied, "We just have to be patient. We could go tell the heroes that Bakugo is rescued."

They all turned to find other heroes, but then All Might's voice rang out, "Now." Everyone turned to see on the TV that All Might was pointing right at the camera.

"Now," All Might said. "It's your turn."

The crowd around the students began to cheer. As they thought it was a final warning to all the criminals out there. But Danny and Izuku knew what it really meant. All Might was handing the torch off to them. Danny stood there proudly, honored that All Might viewed him as a worthy hero. But Izuku started to cry, knowing that he was now fully responsible for One For All. Danny saw this and put his arm around Izuku, giving him an encouraging look. Bakugo also noticed Izuku's crying, starting to get some interesting thoughts in his head that would fully escalate later.
