A/N: And thus, we come to the conclusion of Ryuujin96's request. Ryuujin96, I'm glad you enjoyed this one as well as the story in general, and stay tuned for more!

Todoroki used her fire to burn down the door leading into the castle, and her and Deku headed inside. Already, they noticed that it was quite dark and foreboding inside. They proceeded quickly yet carefully through the halls, keeping ever vigilant for any foes that might pop out at them. Thus far, there wasn't much in their way, but Deku could tell that there was something waiting for them. Sure enough, something did pop out at them: a low-tier Nomu. Almost immediately, Todoroki tried to freeze it, but shortly thereafter, it broke free of the ice.

"Shoko, leave its head exposed! Cutting off the head is the best way to defeat it!"

"Right!"

As per Deku's command, Todoroki froze the Nomu again, leaving its head exposed, and acting quickly, Deku beheaded it.

"Come on!" said Deku.

And so, Deku and Todoroki hurried through the halls of the castle, twisting and turning their way ever closer to victory. For the most part, they had an easy jaunt, only having to deal with low-tier Nomus, though as they went on, they were encountering some mid-tier Nomus. These were tougher in that they broke through Todoroki's ice more quickly, but a single beheading swipe from Deku was still able to defeat them. Sometimes, Todoroki would switch things up and use her fire not only to heat up, but also to distract the Nomus so Deku could behead them. Overall, their chances of completing their quest were looking good at this point. Then, in one room…

"Oh no, that must be one of the upper-tier Nomus!" said Deku. "Cutting off its head won't do any good!"

"Then I've got another idea! Try to keep it occupied!"

"Right!"

Deku charged at the Nomu, not only valiantly attempting to dodge and parry its attacks, but also chopping off its limbs in an attempt to slow it down. Thus far, he seemed to be doing an all right job of it, but it was clear that unless him and Todoroki ended this battle quickly, then they would be done for. However, Todoroki seemed to have an idea in mind…

"FLASHFIRE FIST!"

Todoroki delivered a seismic, white-hot punch to the Nomu, which burned it significantly. However, even then, it still possessed enough of itself to start regenerating.

"Deku, keep going! I'll have this thing done with soon enough!"

As per Todoroki's orders, Deku kept dodging the Nomu's attacks while hacking away at its limbs whenever he had the chance, and Todoroki herself proceeded to deliver more of those punches to the Nomu. Fortunately, their cooperation paid off, and the upper-tier Nomu was out of action for good. Todoroki wiped the sweat off her brow after the battle.

"You all right, Shoko?"

Todoroki nodded. "I am. I'm just feeling really warm right now."

"Then let's take a short rest."

Deku and Todoroki slumped against a wall embracing each other, while Todoroki used the cold portion of her Quirk to create some ice cubes to cool herself off.

"Hey, Shoko…"

"Yes?"

"I…I just wanted to say, if we don't finish this quest alive, I…I'm really happy to have met you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."

Todoroki smiled. "As do I."

Todoroki gave Deku another kiss. No matter how many times she kissed him, he could never get over the weird, tingly feelings he got. Nevertheless, he welcomed them, knowing that the most beautiful woman in the world cared to go the distance with him. However, they didn't spend an exceedingly long time locked in affection.

"Gigantomachia shouldn't be too far," said Deku.

"Right."

Deku and Todoroki headed down a long hallway, eventually reaching a golden door with intricate carvings on it. Together, they opened the door, and sure enough…

"Intruders!" said Gigantomachia. "Have you come here to be my food?"

"No Gigantomachia, we have come here to stop you from attacking innocent villagers!" said Deku.

"Then you too shall be eaten in the name of my master!"

Gigantomachia led the battle off by making a crushing swipe in an attempt to stop Deku and Todoroki. However, the two heroes avoided the attack and countered with some attacks of their own. Unfortunately for them, no matter how hard they tried, the giant just shrugged off their attacks.

"This is impossible!" said Todoroki. "We'll never defeat him!"

"Don't say 'never' now! I think I have an idea! Just keep him busy!"

"Got it!"

And so, Todoroki alternated between using her flames and her ice on Gigantomachia in spite of the fact that neither of them particularly had much effect on him, while Deku dodged around and attempted to put his new idea into motion. However, Gigantomachia took notice of this and temporarily turned his focus away from Todoroki to try to crush Deku like a fly.

"Don't think you'll beat me that easily!" said Gigantomachia. "Everything I do is for my master!"

"Oh yeah!?" said Deku. "Does that include foul murder!?"

"SHUT UP! You know nothing of what you speak!"

Gigantomachia attempted to hammer a mighty fist down on Deku, but he evaded it…barely.

(Come on, Shoko, distract him!)

Fortunately for Deku, Todoroki had another ace up her sleeve…

"FLASHFREEZE HEATWAVE!"

Todoroki shot a massive blast of heat and cold at Gigantomachia. Despite its impressive power, the monster survived, though he got distracted.

"Stop annoying me!"

Gigantomachia prepared a swipe in an effort to take out Todoroki. Unbeknownst to him, Deku – having raised his sword – had an ace of his own, and his sword gave off an ethereal glow. This was it for Deku: either he was going to do this, or him and Todoroki were doomed.

(Here goes…) "SWORD OF LIGHT SMASH!"

With one quick, decisive slash, Deku attempted to hack into Gigantomachia. At first, it appeared that his new ultimate move had been for naught, but then, Gigantomachia slowly fell apart into two halves, with Deku and Todoroki both huffing and puffing after the battle.

"That was an impressive move!" said Todoroki.

"Thank you! All For One shouldn't be too far away now!"

"Were you two looking for me?"

Deku and Todoroki turned to see no other than All For One standing at the opposite end of the room.

"You…!" said Todoroki.

"Yes, me," said All For One. "And I see that your family has yet to abdicate from their throne."

"We'll never abdicate, not while there are good people willing to stand up and do the right thing!"

"Then…you will die!"

Deku and Todoroki squared off against All For One in what would be the final battle to end all final battles. If they thought Gigantomachia was tough, then they clearly hadn't seen anything yet. For example, one thing they noticed about him was how easily he dodged their attacks when compared to Gigantomachia. Compounding this difficulty, on the occasions when they did land an attack, not only did the attacks fail to do any damage, but the resulting force got reflected back at them. Fortunately, Deku and Todoroki were some pretty tough cookies, but how long they could hold out was another matter entirely.

"So, Izuku Midoriya, you are the one whom the legendary All Might has chosen as his successor," said All For One. "I shall take pleasure in destroying you, too!"

"This ends here, All For One!" said Deku.

"For you, yes."

The battle raged on, with Deku and Todoroki using their best attacks. Again, no matter how hard they tried, All For One simply wouldn't die. Furthermore, All For One was striking back at them with some attacks of his own, such as coiling his muscles and shooting shockwaves at the two heroes. Another tactic he tried was attempting to stab Deku and Todoroki with long tendrils emanating from his fingers. The two heroes did their best to dodge and parry the blows, and while they were doing a good job so far, it was becoming clear that they wouldn't be able to hold out against All For One forever.

"You are beaten!" said All For One. "It is useless to resist! Don't let yourselves be destroyed as many others have been before you!"

"That'll never happen!" said Deku.

"You're the one who will be destroyed!" said Todoroki.

"Suit yourself!"

Deku and Todoroki continued their valiant, epic fight against All For One. As the battle wore on, however, the two of them were feeling a creeping sensation of hopelessness. Where it was coming from was unknown to them, but the more they fought, the less they wanted to fight. Deku and Todoroki did their best to power through the feelings, but no matter how hard they tried, they found the fog of darkness enveloping their minds like nothing else could. This translated to them having slower reflexes. As a result of this, All For One ended up knocking Deku's sword out of his hands and knocking Deku himself to the ground before threatening him and Todoroki with his tendrils.

"There is no escape, Midoriya and Todoroki," said All For One. "Don't make me destroy you. Join me, and together, we can bring peace to Syrlania."

"We'll never join you!" said Deku.

"Deku's right!" said Todoroki. "As long as we live, our fight won't end!"

"HA! You speak of resistance, and yet your voices tremble with fear! Why do you bother resisting at all? If only you knew my true power. Midoriya, All Might never told you what happened to your father."

"He told me ENOUGH!" said Deku. "He told me you killed him!"

"No…I am your father."

Deku blinked and shot a blank look at All For One.

"Wait…is this some kind of joke?" said Deku.

"What!?" said All For One. "How DARE you accuse me of kidding you?"

"I mean, I didn't tell Horikoshi that I wanted you to be my father."

"You fool! You don't just tell someone whom you want for a father!"

"Well, what makes you think you're my father, then?"

"Because my Quirk is the opposite of yours, and by official mandate of the Laws of Villainy, it states quite clearly that the main villain is to be father to the main hero!"

Deku crossed his arms. "Listen, powerful villains ripping off a famous line from a famous sci-fi movie is no basis for fatherhood! Being a parent derives from a man loving a woman and making love to her, not from some farcical attempt at parodying pop culture!"

"Be quiet!"

"Well, but you can't expect to be my father just because some other evil villain was father to another hero!"

"Shut up!"

"I mean, if I was a powerful villain and I told the hero that I was his father just because some sci-fi movie had a similar setup, they'd come to take me away, ha-haaa!"

"SHUT UP, WILL YOU!? SHUT UP!"

"Ah, now I see the violence inherent in your system!"

"SHUT UP!"

Deku gestured to All For One with his hands. "Hey Shoko, look at the violence inherent in his system! Help! Help, I'm being repressed!"

"BLOODY PEASANT!"

"Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, Shoko? That's what I'm talking about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?"

Todoroki nodded. "I did indeed."

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!"

All For One attempted to launch another attack, but Todoroki aimed another Flashfreeze Heatwave at him, distracting him long enough for Deku to grab his sword and prepare another special attack…

"GALAXY SMASH!"

With his sword vibrating at a million times the speed of light, Deku made one valiant swipe at All For One. That did it: not only did All For One get vaporized, but all life as he knew it stopped instantaneously, and every molecule in his body exploded at the speed of light. Deku stood there, huffing and puffing as his mind got acclimated to hope again. Once he had calmed down sufficiently, he put his sword away and ran to Todoroki, who ran up to him as well.

"WE DID IT!" said Todoroki. "Oh, Deku!"

Todoroki and Deku hugged and kissed each other again, elated that their quests had intertwined and ended in ultimate victory. However, it soon became clear that their lives would come to a premature end if they didn't do anything, for the castle started collapsing.

"Let's get out of here!" said Deku.

Deku and Todoroki ran as if they were running to the hills that Iron Maiden once sang about. The whole castle rumbled and stone blocks fell all around them. Despite the intense odds, Deku and Todoroki managed to escape the castle before it collapsed completely. Having gotten a fair distance away, the two of them looked back on the ruins of the castle.

"Well…I guess that's the end," said Todoroki.

Deku nodded. "Yeah. Say Shoko, I wanted to ask you something…"

"Yes?"

"Will you…"

Before Deku could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by police sirens and the sounds of screeching tires. Him and Todoroki turned around, only to notice a few Plymouth Furies in the NYPD's familiar blue-and-white paint scheme, plus an unmarked one in addition to a Boyertown Merchandiser van. A bunch of NYPD officers – including some ESU officers – got out and pointed their guns at Deku and Todoroki.

"NYPD! FREEZE!"

Deku and Todoroki put their hands up. A Lieutenant wearing a tan trench coat and a matching fedora approached the two pointing his Colt Detective Special at them.

"All right, you two, up against the car and spread 'em!" said the Lieutenant.

The other officers led Deku and Todoroki to one of the RMPs, where they put their hands on the hood and spread their legs, while the officers patted them down for weapons. One of them grabbed Deku's sword from him.

"Care to explain this?" said the officer.

"But I'm legally authorized to carry that!" said Deku.

"Sure. You have the right to remain silent. If ya give up the right to remain silent, anything ya say can and will be used against ya in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If ya cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for ya without cost. Do you understand each of these rights I have explained to ya?"

"I do," said Deku and Todoroki.

"Having these rights in mind, do ya wish to talk to us now?"

"No," said Deku and Todoroki.

"Hey Shoko, what's up?" said Deku.

"WHA…!?" Todoroki closed her laptop. "Oh, hey Deku! I…I was just writing some medieval fanfiction!"

"Nice! I didn't know you did any writing! May I read it when you're finished with it?"

Todoroki rubbed the back of her head. "Yes, of course!"

"Anyways, I'm going back to my dorm. Best of luck!"

"Thank you!"

Deku kissed Todoroki before heading back to his dorm, while she smiled, knowing that she had the kindest, most handsome boy by her side.

A/N: I'm still accepting requests. However, if you've forgotten the rules, here they are again:

1. NO RAPE/ABUSE. If you actually enjoy that stuff, then go away.

2. NO EXPLICIT SEX. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against that, and I've written my fair share of smut, but I'm trying to keep this one T-rated. You can, however, send me suggestive requests involving the lead-up to that.

3. NO REQUESTS INVOLVING ANYTHING BEYOND THE PARANORMAL LIBERATION WAR. I haven't read the manga, so I don't know everything about that. This will change after Season 6 of the anime concludes, though.

4. FOCUS MUST BE ON DEKU/FEM!TODOROKI. I'll allow other MHA characters to appear, and I might even allow OCs, but Deku and Fem!Todoroki MUST be the focus of the request.

5. I PREFER MORE LIGHTHEARTED REQUESTS, BUT WILL ACCEPT DARKER ONES, TOO. All stories will have happy endings, however.

6. REQUESTS WILL BE WRITTEN AND POSTED IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE RECEIVED.

Oh, and just a general note: if there are any one-shots that lead into sex, both Deku and Todoroki are 18 or older in those stories.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
