My Heroic Beast King
Chapter 21
Enjoy
XXXX
Izuku managed a quick sucker punch to the back of Muscular's head, stunning him with a burst of electricity that he managed to get to Kota in time.
"You!? I am sorry about hitting you before, but where is Naruto?!" Kota asked loudly, he was not so secretly hoping the blond boy would come and be the hero his aunt talked about in the past that would save him.
"Yeah, I figured you were expecting him." Izuku nervously chuckled. "But he is in the middle of the forest with the rest our classes. I sensed you were up here and had to help."
"Then get us out of here!" Kota screamed in panic as he saw Muscular recover and grin dangerously at the two. "That's the man that killed my parents, the Water Hose Duo!"
"Well well, this is some irony! I remember them!" Muscular cheered as he pointed at his face, showing off his glass eye. "Sure, they gave me a souvenir as a parting gift, but I did not think I be able to make a smear out of their son so soon! HA!"
"Stay back!"
"Nah, I do not think I will and do not get it twisted that I am here for revenge or some crap like that. I just love blood and violence!" Muscular roared as he rushed the short distance between then…only to be blinded at the last second from Izuku's lightning as the boy ran with Kota, their bodies mere streaks of light as he ran away. However, Muscular got lucky and grabbed Izuku's leg and ignored the tingling sensation that the lightning attacked his arm brought on. Grinning at his catch, he slammed them into the mountainside. The flurry of motion, Izuku made sure his back was the mountain and away from Kota. The pain and sudden jolt caused as quirk activation and he teleported to the edge of the cliff.
"Well shit, I got the lightning teleporter from the Sports Festival." Muscular laughed. "Oh that reminds me, you fought that Naruto kid. Any clue where that brat is or did I knock it out of you?"
"Naruto? Why?!" Kota screamed. "Haven't you taken enough?!"
"NOPE!" Muscular roared in laughter. "I love to fight and turn people in bloody smears on the road…but I can't kill him. The top brass on the League wants him for some reason. The rest of you…are the buffet of blood!"
Izuku glared at the man for even thinking of taking his best friend away, much less taking away Kota's hero. "I won't let you."
"You don't have a choice, pipsqueak." Muscular laughed as he was suddenly in their face, ready to grind them in the ground with his fist. Thankfully, Izuku teleported Kota and him further up the mountain.
"Kota, stay on my back for a while. My quirk won't hurt you…but it will do damage if you are not clinging to me." Izuku said and since Kota did end up watching the Sports Festival…well parts of it, he nodded and held on tightly as the static erupted around them. A few seconds later, multiple bolts of lighting hit them. Kota wondered at the tingling feeling but knew it could be much worse.
"What? Are you just trying to make me deaf up there? Get down here and fight me you cowards!" Muscular roared in fury as he built up his muscle fibers to be able jump and reach them. "Heh, your death is near anyway, might as well spear you."
By the time Izuku was done with all the thunder and lightning strikes, him and Kota were covered in verdant green electricity, the signature call sign of his new Raiju Form, if still incomplete. The moment Muscular saw this, he grinned with insane glee before jumping up to meet them. He speared his fist through the electrical form, but it just flashed away and above him even more before a lightning covered fist sent him back down to earth in a rather violent manner. Muscular laid down in a him sized crater, grinning like an idiot. He was having so much fun! It was all he ever wanted! Sure, blood had come with fights before and he accepted it. He just wanted to fight for his life!
"This is not going to go the way you want it." Izuku called out and while he knew this next action was uncalled for, he could not justify Muscular being in this world any longer. He was a monster that would continue to create orphans in this world…all for the fun of it. Izuku reached for the sky, a single lightning bolt lit up the sky, showing off the massive cloud formation above the mountain, and stunning Muscular so he could not get away. "Thunder God's Fury!"
Hundreds of lightning bolts converged onto Izuku and acting like a focus, formed into one that then annihilated the mountaintop and Muscular with it.

That one massive lightning bolt also acted as Izuku's teleportation. However, he knew he could not reappear in camp or else destroy it with an equally massive lightning bolt. Instead, he opted for going further in the forest and hoped for the best.
As he and Kota recovered and let the electricity disburse, they came upon a bloody body and not far away from them, Naruto facing off…a pirate? The League of Villains also had a real-life pirate with them? Seriously?
But then said pirate became to scream and hold his head like his life depend on it and that seemed to utterly baffle Naruto for a moment. Izuku was able to go and see if he could help at all, but Naruto had thrown a kunai at their feet with a single tag on it that said, 'Let this happen, I have a plan. P.S. Get Ragdoll to safety.'
In the next moment, Naruto glowed blue before being shaped into a small blue marble. Naturally, Kota started to freak out that Naruto was captured, but Izuku kept him quiet as the pirate Naruto had been talking to was soon accompanied by a magician before they were teleported away by the mist villain.
Yes, the heroes lost that day, but the war was far from over.

The next thing Naruto knew, he was freed from the tiny marble prison and strapped to a chair in a bar with quirk cuffs on that dampened his ability to use One for All. Normally, one would be worried at this point, what with being kidnapped and bound in place with villains on all sides. Naruto, however, was just smiling as he played along.
"What are you smiling about?" Dabi asked, weirded out. "You are powerless and at our mercy, while the press are turning against heroes."
"You would think so, but those vultures are rather fickle ,when you think about it. I am sure the One in the other TV knows that more than anyone. Do-gooders raise up and shine for all to see, then they mess up and people start to question them. It is all rather boring and cyclical if you ask me."
"He does have a point. I have seen it many times. The public is always so easily swayed by those vultures." All for One chuckled with amusement.
"Shaddup! We did not bring you here to talk! / Yay! Socialization!" Twice spoke in his odd double speech.
For his part, Naruto just smiled more as he verbally antagonized Dabi and played with Twice. While this went on, Tomura eyed Naruto for a moment before quietly speaking to Sasuke. "Are you feeling better?"
"I am." Sasuke said he drank his sprite and rubbed his forehead. He really wanted to get up and deck Naruto; before giving him a uncharacteristic hug, but that would raise questions he had no intentions of answering. It was still weird for him, remembering two lives lived. He remembered his death by Sakura. He remembered being crippled near the end. It was a weird feeling. Not to mention his Quirk in this world. Susanoo's Blessing. A quirk that connected to his Sharingan back in the ninja world. Even his sharp shooting skilled was connected to his old eyes. He did not know how to explain it, but all he really knew was that he was…weaker here. He used to be a force of destruction. Meh, that was fine, he could work with that and help Tomura with his Anti-Villain Mission. He had worked with less before and still came out on top.
"Kurogiri, send the boy to me. I wish to have a chat with him."
Sasuke watched as Naruto was warped away in a purple mist and some part of him longed for a power like that again, but he also knew that these quirks had limits. They were like the prototype versions of Bloodline Limits. Plus, having seen the Nomu, he knew there would be biological issues. "Be ready." He spoke again, catching Tomura's attention. "Naruto will piss him off and accelerate things. Our mission will start soon."
"Heh, with the way he was antagonizing Dabi, I can see it." Tomura chuckled, having seen Dabi leave soon after Naruto did to blow off steam since he could not kill the blond hero in training. "Too bad, I had just gotten some sweet gear in the League of Legends RPG that I knew would have taken me to the end."
Sasuke took another swig of his sprite before shrugging. "Who says you can't? I want to watch you and Spinner play, while we wait." Tomura grinned excited before he grabbed Spinner and rushed off. Too easy.
Looking around the bar calculatingly, he observed the others. Spinner was easy, the Stain Fanatic would follow his gamer buddy when shit hit the fan. Dabi was another easy one. He had not killed many in his villain days. Only a few would be rapists, the act reminding him too much of his mother's old situation that he snapped and Sasuke had seen it first-hand. The boy just wanted his father's attention and to take him down. After that, Dabi did not have a plan. Sasuke was sure he would fall in line. Kurogiri was obviously a Nomu to him, but still retained his mind. He seemed obedient to Tomura and therefore useful. As for Twice, the dual minded nut job could go either way. He was more of a problem to himself then anyone in the League. Mr. Compress was another person who they could rely on for stealth operations. Then there was Magne, the gender dysmorphia man on a hair trigger. Sasuke was not sure how long he…she would stay, but they were a tight group, especially since the oppressive auras of Muscular and Moonfish were no longer a factor. This League of Villains could be so much more once free. A League of Legends in their underworld perhaps.
Only time would tell.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NONE OF US SHOULD GO SAVE NARUTO!?" Kirishima roared at his classmates in disbelief. They were currently in the courtyard or general outside rest area of the hospital the students that were affected by the sleeping gas were taken to. The only reason Momo was still in the hospital was because she got sucker punched by a Nomu and received a concussion. Toru and Setsuna had mostly succeeded in warning other groups about the villain attack. But they were not perfect in that endeavor and some people still got hurt or gassed. "I figured your group would be the most rearing to go to save him."
Izuku sighed as he sat in between a somewhat calm Momo and Kyoka. "Trust me, I wanted to save him as soon as I saw him. It is because, we are so close to Naruto, that we know he will be ok."
"As much as I rag on the guy's energy and bullshit quirk," Hitoshi groaned before a serious look crossed his face. "I have faith in him; if he was willing to let them capture him."
"I don't know. Let them capture him seems like self-sacrifice; and says come and rescue me." Mina replied, unsure of everything.
Inasa frowned before a thought crossed his mind. "Naruto has shown that he can manage a tough situation and always seems like he is hiding his true power. Does he have a plan?"
"Yes." Himiko replied for the Naruto Squad with such conviction that it made the entire class blink. They were so used to her being bubbly and carefree that this side of her was new to them. "We have only seen fractions of his power and honestly, we only saw a glimpse of it during the I-Island Incident. I have faith in my brother to pull of the impossible. Sure, our dad is going to get him back, but I have faith that my brother will put a stop to the people that have been attacking us. He has a plan."
Kirishima did not like this, but he and a few others that were willing to go and save Naruto backed down. Now it was just a wait a see approach.
XXX
As Naruto emerged out of the dark mist, still bound to a chair, he saw that he was in a dimly lit warehouse with glowing vats of beings inside. Mostly likely more Nomu. He was pretty sure he was not meant to see them, but he could. What he was meant to see though was a well-dressed, white-haired man in a black three-piece suit sitting in a throne just before all the vats. The eerie green glow of the vats meant to paint the man in an ominous light.
Naruto did not really have a plan here; he was winging like he usually did.
"You know, I half expected either a battle harden warrior with tons of scars and armor, or a very old and crippled man in a wheel chair; with how All Might use to go on about how evil you were." Naruto finally said after a much too long silence. "Instead, it is just the stereotype business man in the shadows. Honestly, I should have expected that with some of your dealers in the Villain Factory."
"Ah, the child who took down my specially crafted agent, Overclock. I expected another muscle brained buffoon like All Might, not a wise cracking warrior from another world." All for One replied cooly. "Though the warrior from another world makes sense now, your entrance in our world gave me enough time to escape a losing battle."
"I mean, the old man is not perfect, but his story does line up with yours." Naruto replied with a shrug. "Tell me, would you have ended up a Nomu like your other lackeys?"
At this, the cool look of composure broke and look of concern overtook All for One's face. "If I had somehow sustained a fatal wound and died from the fight, I have a feeling either Kyudai or Orochimaru would have turned me into a High End Nomu so that I may complete me goals. Most likely Kyudai since he seems more obsessed with helping me."
A look of annoyance crossed Naruto's face. "Does Orochimaru remember he is from my world at all?"
All for One blinked rapidly at that in confusion. "No, what you suggest is impossible. That man was born here…though that does give me thought of reincarnation now. You passed through the portal in the sky while others like Orochimaru must be transmigrants somehow. Fascinating, I will have to look more into that."
All for One then rose from his ominous throne and strode over to the bound blond. "But that will have to be for another time. Out of all the holders of One for All, not one has held my attention with a simple conversation, until you that is."
"Glad to hear I am different," Naruto replied glibly, "I do prefer talking things out. My friends liked to joke and call it, my Talk no Jutsu."
"I am sure it might have worked on weaker minded fools, but I know what I am. I am the Demon King I always aspired to be. I ruled society for a time before I got bored and let the governments think they took back control. I might come out of hiding soon to remind the world of who I am, but first I must fulfill my main mission. Taking my brother back." All for One said, standing above Naruto in his sitting position.
"Wasn't that the brother you imprisoned for not following you like a sick puppy and then killed in cold blood for escaping?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You…should not know that." All for One stated, completely off guard.
"Quirk has evolved." Naruto replied simply before a disgusted looked crossed his face. "You regretted that action so much, that you have a pathological need for his vestige in side of One for All. Hell, you even molded Tomura after him! What kind of sick yandere bro con are you?"
"I loved my brother and wanted to share the world with him!" All for One screamed in rage before shoving his hand into Naruto's face. "GIVE HIM BACK NOW!"
XXX
All for One found himself ankle deep in water in a dark place. What kind of water, he did not know or care at the moment. His attention was on the 9 tori gates and 9 thrones before them, surrounding him in a circle. In the thrones were the nine holders of One for All, silently observing him with bored looks. Well, he could not tell what All Might's expression was because the man was bathed in flaming golden light. Behind the gates was nine multitailed gigantic beast of different species, grinning menacing at him.
"Isn't that that cutest thing ever. A two-hundred-year-old human thinks he is some all-powerful Demon Lord." Kurama rumbled out, shaking the 'room' all around them. "My brother, Shukaku, is so much better at it without trying and his is immature little shit!"
"Yeah!" Shukaku roared out and bounced in place before stopping. "Hey wait!"
"What is this mockery!" All for One asked in a annoyance. "Quirked Animals? Animals of all things has my brother before me?!"
"No, little kitten." Matatabi purred in amusement with a cheshire like grin on her face. "We came with Naruto."
"And we are not going with you." Gyuki intoned with finality.
All for One just grinned. "Like it or not, I will have my brother and therefor you all. I am sure I could do something with your power."
"I am afraid that won't happen brother." Yoichi replied with a look of apathy that infuriated All for One. "You do not have the will power to take this quirk back. It is not about your hatred for the world that will let you take it, but the will of the users. You have hunted down and killed most of us. This ends now."
All for One just stared at his younger brother in disbelief. That brat still rejected his ways, even after all this time! "It only ends when I get what I want." He replied dangerously before flaring his power, the room shaking as it had done with Kurama, but this time, screams from his own vestiges rang through the air. Ghosts of faceless people surround him in a violent vortex.
Then, everything froze in midair and All for One could not move. His head was forced to look up as two glowing symbols shined brightly overhead before surrounding him. The symbols of the Sun and Moon leered ominously at All for One that it made him shake as bit as he had no clue what was going on. The Sun and Moon each touched one of the ghostly faces and absorbed them. Before All for One could roar out in indignant and ironic fury that two of his quirks were destroyed or taken somehow. Then golden chains made of energy wrapped around him that caused immense pain that just would not stop. Once he was fully surrounded, he was forced of this world.
XXX
All for One stumbled back from Naruto as he reeled in agony. Naruto gave him a bored look, but he ignored that as he felt a profound…wrongness about him. Something was terribly wrong, but he just did not know what! The two-hundred-year-old villain stumbled back to his throne, completely exhausted and uncomfortable with the world right now.
"Ugh, that was a bust." He groaned softly to himself as his hands held his head in despair. Then he froze as he finally figured out what felt so wrong with that world. The little hole in his head that let him give and take quirks at will was gone! Replaced with those accursed symbols in a golden light! "What have you done?!"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
"Master, what happened?" Kurogiri rushed into the room after hearing All for One screaming through the TV.
"GET HIM AWAY FROM ME!" All for One command in his panic. He needed time to think. As the Mist Villain warped a grinned Naruto, All for One knew one thing. The door to All for One had been sealed shut. He was stuck with what he had forever more.
He was no longer the Quirk Thief.
XXX
All Might grinned dangerously to himself as he and other heroes were brought to the bar or the warehouse where they figured the bulk of the villains to be. He himself was going to the bar, where he figured his son would be held. He had a feeling that Naruto would antagonize All for One enough after the man tried and failed to take the quirk from him that he would not want Naruto in his sight anymore. The snake would lay in wait for All Might so they could have their final clash. Plus, Naruto was absurdly powerful that he doubted All for One could kill his son, but it still worried him.
Then there was Kaina, she and other heroes would go to the warehouse. She was NOT a frontline fighter and stuck to her guns, literally. Their plan; to lay in wait and kill All for One once and for all.
Then he could finally rest easy. The only way they figured they could do this was during the press conference U.A. having. It was a means to an end, a distraction for the masses while the heroes did their work unobstructed. The media always complicated things, sometimes making situations worse just for a story. Not this time.
Besides, All for One knew they were coming.
XXX
"SMASH!" All Might roared, smashing down a wall while one of the police members with them hero group distracted the villains inside the bar with a fake pizza delivery. All Might was a bit caught off guard though when he saw a still bound Naruto playing poker with some of the villains near the back…and it was obvious his infamous luck with gambling showing its face. They were losing badly to the boy who could not use his arms for the game. Instead, a bored looking- pirate? -was handling his cards.
Unpredictable as always, that boy.
As he was recovering his wits, Kamui Woods had bound the villains where they stood…or sat. Even the Mist Villain! However, it was both Sasuke and Dabi that tried to escape their prisons, only for Gran Torino to jet in a kick their heads into the wall, effectively stunning them.
"Oh man, they took you out of retirement for me?!" Naruto laughed as the old man who grinned dangerously.
"And miss a chance to see you in action kid? Not a chance! I want see that old quirk thief be put down for good!"
"Good answer." Naruto replied as he casually stood up and broke his bonds as if they were not even there, causing the league members who were struggling to look at him in disbelief.
Tomura stared hard at Naruto with All Might and the other heroes. This was his chance to leave All for One and become the Anti Villain or Hero he wanted, whether they become the League of Legends or just a league of extraordinary gentlemen. They would do it on their own terms. The normal people would not get in their way, they feared them too much. It was time to change the world. He had had to make sure of something. "Kurogiri, are you with me?"
The mass of shadowy mist stared at his boss. He was no fool he heard them talking about their plans of wanting to be more than just petty villains. How Sasuke Uchiha guided him better than All for One could. It was baffling how well and it seemed that All for One's plans could go off the rails. Like Tomura, Kurogiri knew he was made as a cruel joke, one the Garaki brothers tried hiding from him. But his main function was to take care of Tomura the best he could and if that meant freedom from his cruel boss and creators, he would take it. "Always." And before he could be stopped, his black mist covered the room, obscuring the heroes' vision. When the mist finally fade, the League of Villains was gone, but they left behind Naruto, showing he was not their priority.
"WHAT THE?!" All Might asked loudly.
"Huh, so they ended up leaving after all." Naruto commented. "I had nothing, but time here and so chatted, while playing card games with them. They probably understand that All for One would betray them in the end, or something. Looks like he lost his followers." He cackled at the black tv screen, "You are getting rusty in your old age, what with losing the ability to take quirk/give quirks and now your followers."
"You otherworldly cretin." All for One growled through the TV as gooey grey blobs started appearing all around them, producing various Nomu to starting attacking the heroes and police All Might brought with them. Then that same horrible smelling goo burst out of both Naruto and All Might's mouths before swallowing them whole.
"Shit! He is at the other location." Gran Torino grumbled but joined the other heroes, including Endeavor, in taking down the Nomu quickly.
XXX
Naruto and All Might burst out of the goo in front of All for One in his shattered warehouse. All Might took a quick look behind him to see that Best Jeanist was in rough shape with a hole through his stomach, behind him were the remains of the Kamino Ward with other heroes laying in the rubble, but a glint of light in the dark caught his eyes and he smiled. At least his Lady was not hurt and was actively monitoring the situation. She maybe fighting from a distance, but All Might felt proud, his whole family was ready to take down All for One.
All for One though just looked done with today as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "I had this whole spiel about how I let Nana's kid survive, befriend him, and then killed him with his own grandson, the same grandson your successor turn away from me, All Might. Though I know that Sasuke boy had a hand in it as well."
"You WHAT?!" All Might roared in panic, but Naruto managed to stop his potential rampage for a moment.
"All Might, I have killed all the families of all the past users of One for All, did you really think I would not find the boy?" All for One asked with a bored expression. "It was going to be so much fun, rubbing it in your face as I destroyed you both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Especially as I killed your son!"
"Doubtful, but give it a try. You never know what is actually going to happen." Naruto replied cheekily.
"Are you mocking me…who am I kidding. Otherworldly or not, you hide behind a wall of fun and laughter. Not taking any of this seriously." All for One deduced. "The only real power you have are those fancy ninja moves and the quirk I made all those years ago. I am both absolutely livid and impressed that you have survived this long and even turned my Tomura away from me. I would not count it as a win, but I will end you and All Might tonight, especially since you somehow sealed my stealing quirk!"
"Oh, so you can't get the quirk even if you tried? All I am proud of you son!" All Might laughed but still had a dangerous glint in his eye.
"Yes, yes, pride before the fall and all that." The ancient human sneered with rolled eyes. "I am a demon lord that has survived the Dawn of Quirks. Neither of you have the guts nor the actual power to kill me."
"Oh please, I sent a goddess to heaven, it will be easy sending a demon back to hell." Naruto yawned as if the concept was beneath him. All Might cracked a smirk while All for One rolled his red eyes.
"Still not taking me seriously, though that is what I get for leaving the world to grow back to normal as I hunted down the users of that quirk I created. I am relegated to underground rumors that put fear into the hearts of heroes in this world but those of otherworlders do not take stock in. However, you are a hero nonetheless, you won't go full power with all the other heroes and civilians lying about."
"I mean…, you got me there." Naruto replied with a shrug before killing intent overwhelmed the area and sent All for One stumbling back a bit, All Might just grunted with a bit of sweat, having gotten used to this method of intimidation. "That's is why I sent my Limbo Clones to gather them up and send them to a safe location. It would have gone faster, but I let one explode and kill the Hair Nomu you sent to try and capture Ragdoll."
"But her quirk was so useful!" All for One roared, his patience finally running thin in the presence of Naruto and All Might. Some of his true nature of a petulant and greedy child leaking out. "I am going to find way more enjoyment in killing you than I should." After all, Naruto had taken away the main function of his quirk and blocked him from taking away quirks from people, but most importantly, get his brother back. So be it, there was nothing left to lose here. Dr. Garaki could revive him anyway and make him some twisted Nomu for all he cared. Maybe then he wouldd have a chance to take what he wanted.
It was at that thought, a reminder of something long hidden finally made its way back to memory. He had collected their bodies for a reason after all. "If my mere presence won't be enough to provoke you…maybe these will be enough. The Garaki Brothers made those who held One for All useful again."
(Please play "I need a hero" either the Shrek version or the normal will do)
Suddenly a brown gigantic hand burst out of the ground and pulled up an even larger body. This was Gigantomachia, one of All for One's greatest creations and bodyguard/pet. All around him, multiple point of grey blobs appeared from nothing, much like how he had warped Naruto and All Might to him. The good doctor had been so happy to experiment on them too, All for One hoped he would not mind using them for a bit.
Out from the blobs of goo, 7 figures emerged. They were all nomu, what with their blackish purple bodies and large exposed brains, but they all looked unique in their own ways. The leader of these Nomu clearly had the outline of a woman with silver hair that flowed out the back of her head. Flanking her right side was a male nomu with what looked like a robotic head. The male Nomu to her right had a head protrusion much like Majin Buu. The next two Nomu stood behind them and they were obviously some sort of muscle. One being the form of a fat man and the other having the mutated trunk of an elephant. The next one was crouched low to the ground and actually had a hood made of that same black and purple skin covering its head and face. The final one was hovering above them all with gigantic webbed wings and six arms with turrets on them.
"All Might, Naruto, I would like for you to meet Gigantomachia and the last Seven of One for All!" All for One announced with a dark smile and a look of sadistic insanity sparking in his eyes. "Well, we combined them with what was left of them and their families to more suitable hosts! This is what happens when you cross me! READY TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY NOW…BOY?"
Naruto's amusement died when he saw these things, a look of seriousness crossed his face. The Orochimaru of this world may not remember much of his past life...but he took the same steps into depravity with his brother and All for One. Monsters creating monsters to terrorize heroes and the rest of the world out of spite. One look at All Might told Naruto the man was in aguish at the prospect of fighting Nana and he was absolutely livid. Naruto could not blame the man either.
What was with villains in bringing up the past? First Obito took the bodies of the old Jinchuriki in the War and now All for One used the bodies of the past users of One for All. This was sick and depraved, but this was the reality of it all.
"Yeah, I am taking this seriously." Naruto replied as he closed his eyes and when he reopened them, they were the orange and lime green of this world's Sage Mode. He learned during the Summer Camp that it still provided him enhanced durability, but instead of a strength multiplier with One of All, it added other things. Things that would be useful in this fight. Naruto slammed his fist against his chest and the Akatsuki trench coat covered his body. Might as well play o to his old heroic vigilante persona here a bit as well.
All the Vestiges were screaming for him to end One for All and their fucked-up zombie bodies. He intended to keep that promise of easing their souls.
The thing that started the fight was the Robot Nomu's head exploding from a shoot of Lady Nagant's arm cannon. "COME ON BOY! LET'S SPAR LIKE OLD TIMES!" The Lady Nomu screamed out in glee with Nana's voice, literally flying towards a frozen All Might. Thankfully, he regained his sensed at the last second before she speared him. He responded and punching her arm away…only for it and half of her body to liquify, forcing him to miss. Her form seemed to inverse on itself as she solidified her body before sacrificing a leg to send All Might flying back with an explosion.

In Naruto's mindscape, the 1st user Yoichi, looked at the fight with a small amount of boredom. This was because what was supposed to have been his body was instantly taken out by Lady Nagant's bullet. He felt less connected to this fight, but he did watch his comrades lose their mind about how their bodies were desecrated.
Don't get it twisted, he was beyond livid too but he also expected this from his brother and somewhat expected the man to have a new body waiting for him when he finally got One for All. Disturbing back expected.
However, he felt a slight connection with the body and so sent it a mental command, the result was it punch out the Nomu with the Majin Boo head extension…only to be immediately skewered by…bones coming out of it, leaving the body mostly useless and it tried regenerating what was left. Yoichi had a sneaking suspicion that one the regeneration was complete, he was not be able to use the body anymore. No time like this to experiement on his own with this connection.
Speaking of, he felt the pull of another quirk in that body and it was very Spatial coded. It reached out to him and when he nudged back, the Nomu's free arm sent a Spatial distortion towards the Elephant Trunked Nomu that was fighting Naruto and…popped it.
No, the Nomu completely twisted in out itself and imploded.
After that, the ex Robot headed Nomu…was turned into a pancake by the Fat Nomu. "Well, I tried." Yoichi replied out loud.
The closest to him at the time, Daigoro, gawked at him before exploding, "Yeah, but now I can't try and take some control of mine! Thanks a lot!" Yoichi just shrugged while sucking on a nearly empty drink, creating that annoying almost empty sound.
"True, they need some sort of fatal injury on them to gain a reconnection to our zombie…but I doubt yours would have done something." He said, causing the others to gawk at him. "What?"
"You got a burn on fifth finally." Hikage replied neutrally.
XXX
All for One watched as All Might batted away Nana's Nomu and then completely stop the En's Fat Nomu and chuck it at Gigantomachia, who casually batted it back down to earth with zero issue. Kyudai did warn him that these High End Nomu were still not stable and their quirks would fail every now and then but damn. The Fat Nomu was supposed to be too dense for All Might to pick up, let alone throw, to say nothing of how that should have shattered Machia's hand. Then he saw another crack, the headless Robot Nomu attacked one of the others! He had a feeling he knew what that was, but kept calm for now.
Then he saw a news helicopter recording the fight, which meant now all of Japan was watching. Fine, he would make this a show. "Machia, be ready, I want to try out that Eldritch Quirk again." The massive man paled, but nodded. He HATED that quirk, but his loyalty to All for One stopped him from arguing.

"What is this? Fights I missed back home?!" Naruto grumbled to himself as the Nomu with the Majin Boo head sent its entire ribcage out to attack him. This was like the fight with Kimimaro before Rock Lee took over for him back then. Lee mentioned that fight was a blur because he was fighting drunk, but mentioned an extracted spine and a bone yard. Well, it was starting to turn his portion of the battle into a spiky bone yard before that Fat Nomu shattered it from the landing. Naruto did not fancy fighting this world's versions of the Kimimaro and Choji; but here he was!
The fight wasn't hard, but it was annoying. One punch to the Fat Nomu sent it back to Gigantomachia; who sent it back to All Might's court. It was like they were playing a messed-up version of Hot Potato with that guy. But Naruto still had to deal with the Flying Nomu and the Bone Nomu. One shot a barrage of superfast bullets, while the other sent its entire skeleton at him, but he was starting to see a rhythm. However, that rhythm was slightly off when the Bone Nomu produced smoke to obscure his vision.
"Enough of this!" Naruto growled as both jumped and tried to simultaneously skewer and flatten him. "Shinra Tensai!" The repulsion force blasted both Nomu back, shattering all the bones of the Bone Nomu and denting in the front half of the Fat Nomu. Naruto proceeded to curb stomp the Fat Nomu's face into the ground, turning it into a fine paste.
However, a giant mouth formed from the stomach of the Fat Nomu and before Naruto could even think that was gross, it breathed in, consuming the Bone Nomu…right before Gigantomachia's fist came down and turned the rest of it into paste.
"That was my doing, Yoichi figured out we can somewhat control our dead bodies if you fatally wound them." Hikage helpfully supplied from within Naruto mind, who just grinned devilishly at the new information.
"Good job figuring that out." Naruto mused before running over to All Might's fight with Nana's Nomu and the one with the Hood. Though, he did keep an eye on the Flying Nomu as it circled around Gigantomachia's head like a vulture.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto called out, forming two giant toads from black whip's energy. One had a giant spiked club while the other hand a couple of spears. The one with the spears chucked them into the wings of the Flying Nomu, causing it to come crashing down to the ground. The toad with the club bashed in the Hood Nomu's head. Naruto then grinned and he jumped onto the falling Nomu and ripped out its brain. The result was it finally stabilized its decent and Naruto rode of the monster like a glider.
"Kudo, Bruce, let's free Nana!" Naruto roared, causing All for One to flinch that those two were awake and in control of their bodies again. To All for One's growing horror, the Hood Nomu rolled up to Nana's Nomu before kicking it in the stomach with enough kinetic force to blow out her spine out of her back. Then, much like the other winged Nomu Naruto had to deal with in the Villain Factory, the Flying Nomu hugged Nana's before exploding.
"Thanks…those two were tougher than I care to admit." All Might replied, dusting himself off, his hero suit blown and torn to shreds. He hated to also admit that Nana's Nomu got to him, causing him to take it easy on her and he paid for it in burns.
"No problem. Now let's take care of All for One and the big guy." Naruto stated.
All for One clapped his hands mockingly from atop Gigantomachia. The sound amplified by a quirk he had and used that same quirk to talk to the annoyances down on the ground. "Well done, though I did not calculate for them to be taken over by mere vestiges. Something we will have to account for when you two are dead. The plans I have for your bodies are brutal and I love it. Now, Giganto…crush them!"
"YES MASTER!" Machia roared gleefully as he brought both fists down on the duo of blonds…only to be rebounded and sent on his gigantic ass. All for One shook his head to relieve him of the cobwebs that fall gave him. Looking back to All Might and Naruto, his face grew with rage at the sight before him.
Like two beacons of light, Naruto and All Might glowed brightly in the night and the world cheered in amazement and awe. All Might had entered his Endless Might form while Naruto was cloaked in the multiple colors of his Ten Tails Mode. He would not bust out the Six Paths Sage mode for All for One, the man was not dangerous enough for that. Sure, both men were going overboard, but that was fine to finally end this monster, no this demon and send him back to hell.
"When did they pull this out of their asses…or has One for All evolved to that point with them? So be it then." One for All replied with an edge to his voice. He smiled darkly at the cameras in the helicopter before touching Gigantomachia's shoulder while activating his Eldritch Quirk. The result was him dropping into Machia as if the giant was made of water. Gigantomachia's face twisted from revulsion and fear to calm and serene until he reopened his eyes and All for One's red eyes stared balefully at Naruto and All Might. "I should have used this long ago to kill you: better late, then never!" All for One laughed as the remains of the Nomu were absorbed into the giant along with some of the environment. "ALL FOR ONE…FULL RELEASE"
The very air around the gigantic villain stilled before violently exploding, destroying more of the area and obscuring the heroes' vision. Then out of the dust, All for One's gigantic fist came down on them. The duo of blonds jumped in time, but All for One's use of Overclock allowed him to grabbed All Might's leg and violently send him crashing back down to earth. He then grinned and sent dark balls of energy at Naruto.
Naturally, Naruto dodged them and even used them as spring boards, but things became heated when tendrils of earth came from below and tendrils of various forms of flesh blasted out of the giant. "Shinra Tensei!" Naruto roared, obliterating all the incoming projectiles. Naruto then formed a huge Rasengan and sent to into the giant All for One's stomach, blasting him back on his back.
Sensing that something big was about to come from this monstrosity, Naruto rushed to both All Might's and Lady Nagant's sides. "Hold on!" Naruto yelled, taking them both into Limbo world with him just as One for All's form got back up. However, now it looked nothing like All for One nor Gigantomachia. Instead, it looked like a giant mass of power and flesh. All the quirks All for One ever took were emerging Akira Style. Various forms of transformation and mutant quirks all merged into one disgusting form.
"Impure…Explosion!" It gurgled aloud and what was left of Kamino and some of the areas around it disappeared into a flash of horrific light not seen since before the Dawn of Quirks.
The people watching all around Japan only saw this because the pilot of the helicopter had the forethought to move the air vehicle before it was too late. Once the blast was done, people watched in more horror than before. Not just because Kamino was just…gone, but because of what remained. All for One's blob of quirks had reshaped and had taken on the form of an Eldritch All Might. A mockery of the hero.
In the Limbo world, Naruto growled that this guy was more dangerous than he thought. Not as strong as Kaguya for sure, but this guy was a world threat. It had been proven long before he came here with the dark times both All Might and Gran Torino talked about. The times where All for One was common knowledge because he ruled openly. Looking to the horrified heroes in his Limbo World to All Might and Lady Nagant, Naruto sighed. "Well, no time like now to go Tailed Beast." They all looked at him strangely but he just winked.
Back in the real world, people feared All Might and the kid he was saving were dead, killed by the monster that took All Might's twisted Eldritch Form. Even All for One thought he won and was smiling in a mocking manner. While All for One HATED All MIGHT and HATED that he had to look like the man, he could not deny that it had the intended effect on the world.
His glee was cut short though when he noticed a golden energy appear out of the void and he grew angrier and angrier, when it took the gigantic image of All Might himself in his Endless Might form. In reality, all the Tailed Beasts gave the Beast Mode a new form with Naruto, Toshi, and Kaina all piloting from the dense energy construct. This was a clash of titans that the world needed to see.
"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE!" All for One boomed out.
"WHY?! BECAUSE I AM HERE!" All Might roared, surprised that this energy construct also amplified his voice.
All for One groaned at the time tested phrase All Might always spewed out and to finally end it one and for all, he built all the energy he could around one of his fists in a way All Might would use. "IMPURE ANNIHILATION!"
Inside the construct, Naruto did the same. He gathered enough energy for a Tailed Beast Bomb. Then All Might added his Endless Might's energy into it and both gave the tiny orb of power to Kaina, who put it in her arm rifle. Meanwhile the Golden Construct of All Might reared its own fist for a punch of its own. Smiling, the small family yelled together, "UNITED STATES OF SMASH!"
The two giant constructs of All Might clashed with a violent boom. However, because the main point of the Yagi Family's attack was distraction, Lady Nagant was able to shoot the volatile ball of destructive energy straight to the core of All For One, completely annihilating the man once and for all.
The result the world saw…well it was a brilliant flash of light before the Dark Construct began to disintegrate into the wind. The Golden Construct of All Might smiled to the world while pumping his giant fist to the air, showing the world, he had won.
All Might was still number one in the eyes of the people.

I listened to Epic the Musical the other day and I hope someone caught that reference at the beginning. Also, I am surprised All for One using the past users of One for All as Nomu or something equally as twisted…has not been used yet.
Please review.
