Suddenly, the metal was frozen over, to the confusion of Wolfram. And one look at Izuka told everyone that it didn't come from her. Katsuki spun around in the air, fire coming from his hands. "Go to hell!" He held out his arms, and they twitched as he aimed explosions at the villain. He created another huge piece of metal to block it. Izuku landed with Melissa in his arms and Izuka jumped off his back. They all looked up ahead as the amount of power Katsuki just gave off caused his forearms to twitch in pain. He grunted as he held his wrist.
"How can you let yourself get beat by such a lame final boss?" He growled down towards All Might. "Hurry and take him down!"
"Thanks for the help, Young Bakugo!" All Might gritted his teeth, pushing back as much as he could. Izuka turned to the side, beaming in relief. Shoto was using both his fire and ice at the same time. The others were arriving right behind him.
"We'll do what we can. We'll help you!"
"Todoroki! Everyone!" Izuku smiled happily to see all their friends.
"You all came...!" Izuka gushed as she gave a small smile of her own.
"Ida, let's knock those hunks of metal out of the sky," Eijiro spoke up, standing in front with Tenya.
"Yaoyorozu, take care of things down here," Tenya ordered before he and Eijiro took off.
"Right!"
With my students so motivated, there's no way I can let myself be held back by something so foolish as a limit! All Might thought as he pushed himself to continue fighting back. Eijiro and Tenya destroyed some metal, Katsuki constantly giving off explosions in the air. I need to push past my boundaries...and go beyond! Shoto sent a flurry of ice up ahead. All Might then gave a punch to set himself free, soaring upwards as he gritted his teeth. "It's time to be Plus Ultra!" He then barged his way through the metal that broke out of the ice. He flew around, destroying the metal coming his way. He then slid downwards, simply touching it and it broke into pieces. He let out a yell as it surrounded him, and he jumped out of it perfectly fine. The hero then slid down the metal with ease. When another piece tried to crush him, he jumped up to avoid it, Wolfram sending more his way. "Carolina...Smash!" He let out a huge light and bursts of wind, the twins and Melissa bracing themselves. Even Wolfram had to do the same. "Prepare yourself, villain!"
He looked up to see All Might heading towards him with a fist ready. Before he could land the punch, though, he got trapped in metal wires. He struggled to break himself out. "Nice trick, but I-" He grunted as Wolfram forcibly grabbed his chin, causing him to lift up his head. Wolfram's sleeve ripped off as he gave his muscles more power.
"Prepare myself? Take your own advice," His voice got a bit deeper as his arm grew larger, and red. The same thing happened to his face as the mask burned off. "You've underestimated me."
Where did this strength come from? All Might let out a harsh cough as blood spurted from him. Wolfram then grabbed the part of his chest where he was injured, squeezing it hard. All Might let out a big scream of pain.
"All Might!" The twins shouted while running up ahead, knowing what happened. And because of Izuku's connection to One for All, he started to feel the same pain. He twitched and held his shoulder, crashing onto the ground. Izuka flinched and held her side, falling onto her knees as she shook. It wasn't as bad as All Might or Izuku, but she could still feel what they were feeling...
"Are you two alright?" Melissa bent down to them in worry. Katsuki glanced to Izuka and noticed her state, gritting his teeth.
"Damn it!" He shouted as he continued firing explosions, but it wasn't enough. Shoto fired off more ice, but it was too much as he was sent flying, bracing himself.
Smoke came from All Might as he couldn't fight back this time. This new power seems to enhance his muscles. He must have multiple Quirks! And then it hit him on why this felt so familiar to him...because he had only experienced this only one other time. "No, wait, it couldn't be..." He murmured in horror as he didn't want to believe it.
"Oh, yes," Wolfram confirmed with a smirk. "While we were planning this little plot, I received an intriguing phone call from the man himself. He said he wanted to work with me, to help. When I asked him why he'd bother...he was happy to explain his interest."
"If All Might's friend wants to have a hand in something evil, I will assist in his fall from grace in any way that I can. I regret only that I will not be able to see All Might's face twist in pain when he discovers the truth about the professor."
He could still see David in the distance, and the professor was unconscious. The fact that his friend was involved with All for One...just made it even worse. "All for One is behind this?!"
"What's the matter?" Wolfram mocked upon seeing the hero's expression. "Looks like you've finally stopped smiling. "
"NO!" All Might yelled as he was sent flying, Wolfram cackling the whole time. A huge chunk of metal came flying in, and he had no time to dodge it. The twins whimpered in terror to see this, and more metal began attaching to All Might.
"All Might, no!" Momo, Kyoka, Ochaco, and Minoru all shouted in unison.
"Please, don't do this!" Melissa pleaded, her eyes shaking.
"Farewell, Symbol of Peace!" Wolfram declared as a bunch of metal came in to stab at All Might inside.
"UNCLE MIGHT, NOOO!" Melissa screamed and instantly, something sparked within the twins. For Izuku, it was green, for Izuka it was yellow. Both of them jumped forward, his fist ready while Izuka's arm sparked with fire. And she seemed to forgo the fact that she had been reaching her limit. But she didn't care, she just needed to get him out. Because she believed there was no way that he just died.
"Detroit Comet..." Both of them said in unison, Katsuki and Shoto looking up in shock. "Punch Smash!" They shouted as they punched at the metal together, causing the metal to break apart into an explosion of fire. They could see the hero up ahead, a chunk of metal crashing into them. Izuka used a shield to hold it back, squeezing her eyes shut before they crashed.
"Those damn brats!" Wolfram growled at this, some of the metal falling apart. David was still unconscious.
The three were on the ground, All Might coughing as Izuka held back a piece of debris above them. All Might grunted as he stood up, allowing her to drop the shield in relief. She sighed slowly, looking to her brother and gasping.
"Young Midoriya!"
"Izuku..." Izuka frowned at him, and then the hero noticed her arm still on fire.
"Your bodies can't handle this. It's too reckless," He warned the twins as Izuku sat up.
"Yeah, but..." He looked up with a weak smile. "It's a hero's job to save those in need, no matter what, right?"
The two looked down at him in surprise, Izuka's eyes shining at him. She then pumped a fist with a small smirk. "Couldn't have said it better myself! Even if I'm the one affected by my limit, that doesn't mean I can't still fight. Just like you did, right?" She looked up at their mentor, surprising him as she didn't look terrified of what could happen to her. She just wanted to save everyone like Izuku. All Might then gave a small chuckle at the twins.
"You make good points. And it looks like I'm in quite a bind without either of you," He then held out his hands to the two. "Will you lend me your aid once more, Young Midoriya and Young Mido?"
Neither of them hesitated as they took his hands. "Yes, sir!" They stated in unison, and he helped them up. The three then looked up ahead, Izuku glancing at his Full Gauntlet and Izuku's Mars Armor. He wasn't sure that they'd withstand this...but they had to keep fighting. His body then sparked with energy as Izuka clenched the fist that was on fire. Katsuki let out a small breath of shock as the flames slowly went away thanks to her holding them back.
"Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!" They answered and the three all took off together. Wolfram was hunched over, but could hear them approaching.
"There's no way you can stop me. You're insignificant pests," He summoned a bunch of metal, clumping them together. "And you don't know when to lie down and be crushed!" He then sent the clumps of metal their way. Katsuki's eyes widened at this.
"You're the one who doesn't know he's beat!" He screamed, using his Quirk to destroy some of them.
As All Might, Izuku, and Izuka ran, the latter looked back with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Bakugo..." She murmured and he flinched, knowing that she was grateful to him. He didn't hear it, but he knew what she meant to say.
"Don't focus on me! Kick his ass!" He shouted loud enough for her to hear and she blinked in shock. He then gave a small smirk towards her. "And don't you dare hold back on him."
She chuckled a bit, turning back around. "I won't...I'll even get in a few hits for you."
Wolfram sent more metal, but Shoto was ready to stop it by touching the ground. "I won't let you stop them!" He yelled as he swung up his arm, creating a barrel of ice to block it. It collided with the ice, and thankfully didn't go any further. Izuku ran up first, then All Might, and then Izuka. All of them jumped up into the air towards Wolfram.
"This is over!" Wolfram shouted as a circle appeared around him to control the metal. Once it reached Momo and the others, it sent them flying despite their shields. Melissa slid off the platform she was standing on, rolling to a stop and shaking. She then looked up to see All Might running as fast as he could. He avoided the attacks while sliding, punching some metal to pieces. He then jumped a far distance while debris fell around him. He punched an area hard to make it crumble.
Izuku swerved around to avoid some flying debris. He then gathered up some of his energy to take off at a fast speed, outstretching his leg. He kicked some metal to bits.
Izuka jumped up high to make her floating star appear, avoiding some metal along the way. Once she flew back down and landed, she soared past flying debris. She then soared above the air while her star was pointing upwards, falling back down and spinning. Once she landed, she held out her hand to send a huge shooting star towards the metal that followed, causing an explosion.
Melissa looked up in shock at their efforts.
All Might ran along some metal, Izuku following after him. Izuka then came up from behind, boosting her shooting star to give herself more momentum. She kept her hands on the flying platform, her hair flying as she caught up to the two easily. Melissa had tears in her eyes, hoping that they would survive this.
Wolfram let out a growl, holding up his arms. Pieces of debris flew up around him.
Ochaco stood up, holding her head. She looked up and gasped, Kyoka following her gaze as they saw all of the chaos. "What's happening?!"
Izuka, Izuku, and All Might together hopped off some debris, flying forward. All Might recoiled back a fist. To overcome the crisis in front of you.
Izuku clenched a fist of his own, the Full Gauntlet sparking. By giving everything you've got.
Izuka gritted her teeth as her flames appeared from her right arm, her belt activating to put on the armor. Surpassing all of my limits to give hope...
And save people.
No matter the cost.
Even if you have to push yourself!
All of their friends looked up from their spot. That's what makes someone...
Heroes! The twins thought in unison.
"I'll bring down this entire tower!" Wolfram declared as he had created a huge block of metal, swinging it towards them.
Triple Comet Detroit... The three flew up together while recoiling their fists. Izuka specifically caused their light to become a flaming one. Punch Smash! The three punched the block of metal together, a huge flaming light coming from it. Wolfram tried his best to hold it back, but the three were giving it everything that they had. As blood flew from All Might, his top began to rip. The same thing happened to Izuku as his sleeve came apart. Izuka's hair blew hard as her armor started to peel off in pieces. Wolfram's shirt tore and he recoiled back in pain as he couldn't handle the amount of power directed at him anymore. The metal then exploded from within, the flaming light still moving. David looked up ahead in shock, as did Melissa.
"DEKU! MIDO!" Ochaco screamed at the top of her lungs.
"STOP HIM, ALL MIGHT!" Kyoka and Momo shouted, Denki still being affected by his Quirk.
"GO, MIDORIYAS!" Eijiro, Tenya, and Minoru yelled for the twins.
"DESTROY THIS GUY!" Katsuki and Shoto screamed in unison.
One for All activated within Izuku as he recoiled back his fist again, the Full Gauntlet glowing brightly. Izuka opened her eyes, her hair flowing as she felt her own surge of power activating. Her hand started to glow brightly in a soft yellow.
"Let's go..."
"Beyond!" All Might finished, his own power activating.
"Plus...Ultra!" The three shouted in unison while flying towards Wolfram in a bright shining light. Izuka held up a fist, joining it with All Might and Izuku as they all punched together. Full Gauntlet fully broke apart, as did Mars Armor. Wolfram screamed as the flaming light consumed him, and all of his weaponry exploded as he let out a painful scream that died out. The whole building shook with power, and David was finally free. He looked up to the sky as he saw two bright lights. And as he pictured All Might...Izuku appeared instead in the same pose All Might would strike. Izuka was striking her own, one hand reached out to the light as they both grinned. David let out a small gasp as...as he could see them being heroes...just like All Might in his glory back then...
The smoke started to clear as the classmates stared from their spots, the metal crumbling to the ground. "They did it..." Tenya murmured happily, Minoru smiling from his spot.
"They stopped him! They beat up that villain and saved our lives!" He pumped a fist happily, Tenya giving a wide smile.
Katsuki smiled a little while the others cheered, looking towards Izuka. If someone were to ask him how she did, he'd say...she did pretty damn good. Heh. You were pretty good for someone who used to be a mouse...
Shoto turned to him with a knowing smile as he could tell who the angry blond was rooting for. Katsuki flinched as he noticed it and turned away with a growl.
The roof was a complete mess, but everyone was still alive. Melissa ran up towards the top as the sky started to get a little brighter. Wolfram was hanging by some debris, his henchmen surrounding him. He was completely deflated as the remains of his mask fell. Izuku sat up soon after, covered in dust.
"Deku!" He turned around just as soon as Izuka popped out, letting out a small cough. "Izuka!"
"Melissa!" The boy looked up as she was happy to see them.
"I'm so glad you're both alive!" She cried out as Izuka stood up with a smile.
"We're not the only ones," The shorter girl glanced down to see David had survived, though he was knocked out by the blast.
"Dave. Dave!" All Might called out, and he looked up to see All Might reverting back to Toshi.
"All Might..."
"I came to save you, my friend," He smiled down at the man.
"Thank you..."
"Papa!" Melissa cried out, and they looked up towards the top.
"All Might!" The twins exclaimed upon seeing them.
"If you wanna thank someone, you should thank Melissa and Young Midoriya and Young Mido."
Melissa let out a few relieved tears. The twins beamed down at the two adults. "He's okay. I can't believe it," She sniffed while wiping away her tears. She then turned to the twins happily. "I'm so grateful. And it's thanks to you guys. You're how we saved the island."
"We did it together," Izuku corrected the girl, who blinked in confusion. "After all..." He looked at his right arm. "The only way we made it this far was because I had your Full Gauntlet on my arm. Thanks so much for your help."
"He's right," Izuka gave her a small smile, gesturing to her waist. "And if it wasn't for your Mars Armor, I wouldn't have been able to exceed myself the way I did. You did exactly what you wanted, Melissa: you helped someone with your support items. I'm so happy we met you," She smiled happily at the girl, who returned it.
"We're all a good team."
"Oh!" Izuku flinched as he realized that neither he or Izuka even had the support items anymore. "But we broke them. Sorry about that."
"You worked really hard on them..." Izuka rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
She let out a small amused laugh. "Don't worry about it."
"Deku! Melissa! Mido!" Ochaco cried out, getting their attention. Most of their classmates aside from Shoto and Katsuki were cheering them on.
"How are the others? Are you all okay?" Tenya called out to the trio.
"We're fine up here! All Might and the professor are okay, too!" Izuku waved to them.
"He'll need a hospital, but he'll survive!" Izuka waved to them with both hands.
"But what about the rest of you guys?" Melissa hollered to the group.
"We're good!" Ochaco responded and the three turned to each other with smiles.
"Alive, anyway!" Tenya added and Izuka smiled happily at them. She then noticed Katsuki behind everyone.
"Bakugo!" She shouted to get his attention and he glanced up. She continued waving to him. "It's all thanks to you that I fought as hard as I did!"
He flinched from her statement and then growled. "I don't know what you're talking about, you idiot! Go to hell!" His classmates all looked at him in disbelief at his reaction. Katsuki then turned away with a huff, a small blush on his face. So what if she thanked me?
"Bakugo! That's not how you respond to a simple thank you!" Tenya scolded while Izuka blinked and then giggled to herself. She already knew what he meant by it, so she didn't take it at face value.
"I've heard most of what happened from Melissa," All Might explained to Dave while patching him up as best as he could.
David looked away in shame as he couldn't deny it anymore. "...It's all true. I was so scared you'd lose your light. Scared that the peace you built as a hero would fade away with you." All Might gave him a small frown; he should've known during his talk with David that he'd take drastic measures...and yet, he didn't think anything of it. "But my ideas and that device were nothing more than ways to maintain the status quo. To ensure that nothing would ever change," He groaned while trying to stand and All Might helped him up. "Even though the future was standing right there in front of me the whole time," He looked up to the waving twins and Melissa. "I just didn't notice it. Izuka was right...I should've considered how you felt. Look at those three. She wants to become my successor, you know that? And you have Izuku and Izuka Midoriya. They'll take your place one day too, won't they?"
"Nah...for Izuka, I want her to be her own Symbol. To make a name for herself, become a Symbol of Light."
David blinked up at him and smiled. "I like that..."
"They still have a long road ahead. But...in them shine the greatest potential I've ever seen among those who would become heroes."
David kept his smile as he looked up at the twins. "I can see it too, Toshi. Hope." The sun began to rise, causing the twins to turn around. "A light like yours." Melissa and the twins beamed down at them as the sunlight hit the twins. "Those two...have the hearts of heroes." They continued looking towards the sunrise as it was finally over...
And so, he, Izuka, and their class enjoyed the rest of the I-Expo together with a barbecue with All Might. Even the rest of Class 1-A got to join in on the fun. Melissa even let Izuka borrow her camera again for some photos to capture them. She didn't join, however, as she had gone to the hospital to see her father. Police were surrounding his door, as he turned himself in, but he had earned a lighter sentence given the circumstances.
Once he explained everything to Melissa, including how sorry he was, she forgave him. She was just glad that he was alive...
Someone tapped her shoulder and she looked up to see a wrapped present. She opened it up curiously, beaming once she saw what it was. She showed her father and he smiled as it was a painted picture of the twins and Melissa when she showed them around the island. It was Izuka's last gift to Melissa before the class departed.
Speaking of, she was with Izuku looking out to the island. The fact that All for One was behind it was still on their minds. If he could still cause trouble for them when he wasn't even there...what would happen when they finally did come across him face to face? Izuka frowned as she looked up ahead, and then both of them turned around. Toshinori came up between the twins, his hair flying. He glanced between the two of them, knowing what was on their minds.
The two narrowed their eyes up at him, nodding in agreement. The three then looked back up ahead, as whatever All for One threw at them...they would be ready for the worst. Three eagles flew up into the sky again above the water and towards the sun...
