All Might didn't waste time with words as he slammed a fist into All For One's mask.
The two went flying as they exchanged blows and barbs. Bakugo took the chance and broke free, and attacked the League members. "NOW!" I shouted as I lifted Izuku by the back of his shirt and hurled him at Bakugo.
I hurled Kirishima next before shooting forward myself. Momo and Sasha stayed back to cover us as Tomura turned to face me. "YOU! How did you survive?!" He demanded, but I wasn't in the mood to play anymore, not with the Symbol of Evil a few meters away.
Tomura rolled to the side to get away from the flames as I engulfed the area in fire. Izuku, Bakugo, and Kirishima were back-to-back against Spinner, Toga, and Dabi as I moved to help them. Magne tried to obstruct me, but a bolt of fire sent them flying as Spinner turned and threw a punch.
I easily caught it and slammed my fist into Spinner's gut. He chokes on his spit as the air is driven from his lungs, and he collapses at my feet. I kicked him aside before lunging at Magne. A flurry of fireballs kept them from using their quirk as I closed the distance and ripped the magnet from their hands, before slamming it over their head.
"Big Sis!" Toga shrieked as she threw a trio of knives at me. I turned them to slag before throwing myself to the side. "Micah?! What are you doing here!" All Might yelled as he stood up once more. "Keeping those idiots safe." I pointed at Izuku and his friends as they used me as a distraction to get away from the fighting.
"You need to leave now. This battle belongs to me, not to students." He said sternly as I threw myself at him. The ground shattered a moment later as All For One landed a few meters away. "My my, have you grown so weak that even a student is needed to keep you safe?" AFO mocked All Might before turning to face the League.
"Take this lesson in stride, Tomura. Learn from this experience and rise above me, and the world shall be yours!" Black tendrils suddenly leapt from AFO's fingers and snaked towards Kurogiri. All Might tried to intervene, but I stopped him.
"Let me heal you first." He huffed but stayed still as healing flames mended his already weakened body. Tomura tried to stand his ground to help AFO, but a blast from his Air Cannon sent him and the rest of the villains through the portal as it closed behind them.
"Now that the children are gone, let us settle this." All For One said grandly as I glanced at the news helicopter getting closer. 'The fools. The HPSC will never learn, will they?' I almost paid for that lapse in concentration as All Might shoved me aside as AFO began his assault.
-----------------
Shoto couldn't believe it; they'd actually rescued Bakugo from the hands of the League of Villains and survived.
He'd trusted Micah and his power, as well as the fact that he himself was strong enough to face most of the League on his own, but to actually put the plan into action was something entirely different.
For one, Shoto didn't think Izuku, Kirishima, or Momo had the stomach to kill, something the villains would no doubt do if they caught them. He did not doubt that Sasha and Micah were ready to kill; the look on their faces when faced with villains stuck with him a lot harder than it should have.
Even now, Sasha had that look in her eye, the kind that reminded him of his father, back when he was younger and more afraid.
By now, they'd gotten away from the place where All Might was fighting that tall monster of a man. They'd gotten Bakugo and taken him away, and were currently running through the various side streets and alleys as they got away from the fighting. Even then, they could still feel the air vibrate from the shockwaves.
They finally spill out onto a crowded street, where everyone is glued to their screens as the true destruction of the battle becomes clear. "That idiot!" Sasha hissed as she pointed up to a news broadcast.
Somehow, a helicopter had gotten past the authorities and was filming the battle, where things had gotten even worse. All Might and Micah were on the ground, forcing themselves back up while Endeavor, Edgeshot, and another hero hammered away at the villain.
Suddenly, a violent blast of air shoots towards the news helicopter, and All Might's figure blurs as he intercepts it. The villain uses that opening to send another blast of pressurized air at Micah before turning his attention towards the Pros.
"NO!" Momo and Sasha shrieked as one as the blast of air neared Micah, only for a massive skull to intercept it at the last moment. "What the fuck? Since when could he do that?!" Bakugo blurted out as Shoto nodded in agreement.
The skull was massive, nearly twice the size of Micah. It looked to be the skull of a dragon, but since when could Micah summon that? The villain paused after seeing this, already finished beating the Pros black and blue as they hurriedly limped away.
All Might then appeared, delivering a crushing blow which the villain blocked, but Shoto kept his eyes on Micah. Micah finally got to his feet, dusted himself off, then petted the skull? Shoto didn't get much time to wonder why he did that as a bright flare of flames erupted from Micah.
When the camera focused once more, Micah was gone. In his place was what seemed to be a lighter version of the armor he used during the attack on I-Island and on the training camp. It was still bulky, but seemed small compared to the bulky set he used then.
Micah's figure then blurred as his flaming afterimage streaked towards the villain. The man blasted All Might away, then pivoted towards Micah. Shoto then realized why Micah had donned the armor; he was tiny compared to this villain.
Having stood before All Might before, Shoto knew that the man was unnaturally tall, towering above most of the population at a whopping 220 cm (7'3). The villain he was currently fighting seemed to be as tall, if not taller than him. Micah reached their height only after he donned the armor.
That didn't stop him as he slammed his flaming fists against the villain's black mask. The villain didn't stay still either, but his punches carried much more weight, nearly shaking the news helicopter out of the air from the shockwaves.
Still, Micah kept fighting, even after All Might returned, as they kept up the pressure on the massive villain. "Can you see what they're saying? I can't hear anything over the wind!" Kirishima asked, but no one answered. Only Sasha appeared to be able to read lips, but the camera was so shaky that there was no way she could do it.
They continued watching in silence as the trio fought violently. Shoto then noticed something else: both Micah and the villain seemed to have several quirks. The villain definitely did, as he always covered his arm in all sorts of quirks before clashing with All Might.
That added to the fact that he would switch from close range to far, and was flying, Shoto knew that this man was probably the most dangerous in Japan. Micah didn't seem deterred, however.
Not only did he clash physically with the villain, who seemed to be toying with him, but he also lashed out with various flaming weapons, as the dragon skulls from before blasted the man with an energy breath.
"I swear if he dies, I'm gonna kill him!" Bakugo snarled as Sasha growled her agreement, as they all watched the battle rage on.
------------
'All Might doesn't have much left in him. If I can tell, AFO certainly has.' I thought absently as another round of Blaster attacks did nothing but chip away at All For One. I could tell he was getting annoyed since he was starting to use all the mutant quirks he used when clashing with All Might, but I didn't care.
I rushed in again, relying on the protection of my armor to keep me safe as I kept the pressure going. Those precious few seconds were all All Might needed to get back, though I could tell he was feeling worse.
"Is this the end? How disappointing, I thought Nana's student would be able to do better than this." AFO's voice mocked him as All Might grew even more agitated. "YOU KEEP HER NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, VILLAIN!"
I kept out of it, simply helping him wherever I could while cursing Endeavor for not sticking around.
I winced as AFO's Air Cannon pushed me a meter back before rushing in, but in that brief lapse where I wasn't there, AFO blasted All Might away once more. I used more Gaster Blasters to distract AFO before ducking under a backhand and tackling his legs.
He stumbled, but didn't fall as he drove his elbow into my back. I collapsed onto one knee from the force as I saw All Might struggle to rise. "You were pathetic. What happened to all that bravado you showed when killing that Nomu?" AFO taunted me as I gathered the flames deep within.
"One moment." He said, before kicking me dozens of meters away, before turning seemingly at random. 'Crap, this is bad.' I rose as fast as I could, but it was useless as AFO theatrically levelled his hand at a woman stuck under a chunk of rubble and fired his Air Cannon.
"ALL FOR ONE!" I yelled with all my might, successfully bringing his attention back to me as All Might tanked the blow for the lady, but falling back into his weakened form as a consequence.
I picked up speed, zigzagging around the various attacks as skulls blocked the more accurate ones. When I finally got into striking range, AFO lashed out with his leg, and I took the blow to the chest.
I almost passed out as the air was driven from my lungs, but I stubbornly held on as AFO chuckled and slammed me to the ground. "How foolish. Now the world will see you die, just as pathetic as that man behind me. Don't worry, I won't harm your little girlfriend, though All Might will be joining you shortly."
AFO then started putting pressure on my armor. I felt the flames buck against me as I poured as much as I could into staying alive, and took a risk to glance over at All Might. I grit my teeth, seeing him still down as AFO notices my distraction.
"Well, isn't this nice. No longer hiding who you really are, are you, 'Symbol of Peace'?" AFO asks Toshinori, who grits his teeth as he stands, only for AFO to deliver another crushing blow. "Since we aren't hiding secrets anymore, let me share on. My student, Tomura Shigaraki? The boy who hates you to his very core is Nana Shimura's grandson."
Toshinori falls to his knees in shock. I glance around, looking for something to use, when I notice more heroes coming in to save the trapped people around us. AFO continued to mock Toshinori as the pressure on my chest lessened slightly.
Taking the chance given, I poured even more flames into the armor, repairing it while increasing the fire for one big blast. AFO then started to attack Toshinori with his quirks as he picked himself up and rushed forward.
"Ah, the dying embers of One For All, how quaint. I'm guessing you've left the rest to your student, Izuku Midoriya?" AFO questioned as Toshinori got closer, suddenly changing into his muscle form as he dragged out the last embers of One For All.
"Since you're giving it your all, I might as well do the same." AFO suddenly said as I called on all the flames I could, while preparing my final gift.
"Springlike limbs, Kinetic Booster x4, Strength Enhancer x3, Multiplier, Hypertrophy, Rivet, Air Walk, and Spearlike Bones. The ultimate fusion should be a fitting end for a pest like you." AFO snarls as he rears his fist back, with All Might a few meters away.
"HEY, FORGET ABOUT ME?!" I roared with all my might as I detonated the armor around me. The explosion blinds me for a good five seconds. When my vision returns, I find AFO taking All Might's final punch, "UNITED STATES OF SMASH!"
AFO's mask shattered into pieces as he collapsed to the ground. Toshinori then staggered, but I moved in time to keep him up. "We'll save him. Izuku can do it." I tell him quietly as he turns and points at the news camera up in the air, "You're next." He intones solemnly as I turn to face AFO.
"I'm sorry, All Might," I say quietly before wrapping him in a blanket of flames to heal him. "What are you doing?" He asks as I lay him down, and summon five Gaster Blasters. I then swap out Six Eyes for Corpus Weapon, and fill my third slot with Louden.
Four of the skulls then dash towards AFO and grab his limbs. The necrotic energy from Corpus Weapon seeps through the jaws of the skulls as AFO's body shrinks visibly. "Young Micah, stop!" All Might shouts, but I barely hear him.
'You can come out, I have someone looking for a gift.'
The air then shifts around me as Lil' Nurgle appears in all his revolting glory. Thankfully, he is around the size of a Nurgling, and clamped in his jaws is Rasaka's Fang, dripping with the most potent of his gifts.
I then turn my eyes to the news helicopter, and the heroes moving to stop me. Despite my speaking normally, my voice reaches everyone.
"For too long, Japan and Humanity as a whole have been held in the grip of a parasite. I now present it to you, ALL FOR ONE. The true Symbol of Evil that seeks to dominate us all to his ends.
No more will he kidnap children and turn them into monstrous Nomu.
No more will he haunt our streets and cities.
No more will Japan fear the Symbol of Evil.
We are now free, able to move on from this obsolete fossil from an age long past."
Raising Rasaka's Fang for all to see, I let a single glob of toxin fall to the ground before plunging the blade into All For One's heart. Not hearing the Gacha, I extend my hand towards the last dragon skull, where Nurgle is now sitting.
It opens its dripping jaws, revealing rows of jagged teeth and writhing veins as Nurgle's power grants the skull life, in its own twisted way. Upon firing its energy beam, I notice three things. Rather than the normal blue, this beam is a sickly green and black. Nurgle's body bloats before becoming twice its normal size, and finally.
