“Take him down!”, Mandalay shouted pointing at Muscular.
Having been searching for Muscular for some time now, Mandalay and company didn’t expect him to drop into their lap. Creating a gorilla out of dirt, Pixie-Bob sent it to attack buying them time to close the gap between them and the villain. Crushing the gorilla with minimal effort, Muscular went on the offensive and swung at Mandalay. Thinking he was going to make contact, Mirio popped out of the ground again right in front of him.
“Damn you pest!”, Muscular snarled as he moved his head to dodge, “I will wring your neck out, you bastard!”
Dodging Mirio’s surprise attack threw the villain off balance which created an opening for Tiger to land a punch on him. Hitting him as hard as he could, Muscular stumbled backward shaking his head to recollect himself. Glaring at the Pros and Mirio he started bulking up further as he was done toying with them. Blitzing the five of them, Mandalay barely managed to avoid his punch but the air pressure he generated blew them away.
Caught off guard by how strong he was, Mandalay let her guard down and ended up taking a punch to the gut. Feeling her chest cave in, she flew into the wall of the Huntsman home and puked up a mouthful of blood.
“Mandalay!”, Tiger roared as he ran at Muscular.
“Haha so fucking slow!”, he mocked them as the three of them were hit by him in quick succession.
Expecting the attack, Mirio managed to faze through it but was too far away from the Pros to protect them. Left to fight Muscular himself, Mirio retreated into the ground and fell back to join his schoolmates. Dashing at the students, Muscular was in a blood frenzy wanting to kill Mirio for making a fool of him twice in a row.
“Detroit Smash!”, Izuku shouted as he launched himself to take on Muscular.
Clashing their fists, Muscular bulked himself up to the max causing Izuku to falter. Forming a large chunk of ice in front of the students, Shoto told Bakugo to hit it with his strongest explosion. Remember Kessler’s words, Shoto knew this was the time to start pairing their attacks for a more devastating effect. Doing as he was told, although a bit pissed he was being bossed around, Bakugo exploded the chunk of ice.
Peppering the villains with chunks of ice, the attack knocked several villains off their feet and managed to incapacitate a few of them. Going to repeat the same attack, this time aimed at Muscular, Shoto went to form the ice when Tomura shouted out from behind them.
“Give up or the child dies!”, Tomura shouted holding one of the survivors.
Seeing Kurogiri’s portal behind Tomura, Shoto and Ida cursed themselves for not taking it into account. Unable to hold out against Muscular, Izuku crumpled under his attack and was launched into the home.
“Izuku!”, Ochaco screamed.
“Haha, all bark and no bite!”, Muscular laughed turning towards her, “Since you seem to be his little girlfriend, you die first!”
Seeing that his students were in trouble, All Might managed to break away from his fight with One For All to attack Muscular and Tomura. Going for Tomura first, since he had a hostage, All Might smacked him away as he pulled the child from him. Moving from there to engage Muscular, All Might felt something stabbing into his back that felt like fire. Letting out a pained gasp, he looked back to see a teary-eyed Yuga burying a knife in his back.
“Young…Yuga…”, All Might said dropping to one knee, “Why…”
“I…I am sorry!! He…he has my parents…if I don’t do what he wants…they will die.”, Yuga cried, “I don’t want to do this…but I don’t want them to die! I am sorry!”
Clapping his hands as he walked past the students, All For One told Yuga that his parents would live to see another day for his work. Turning to their classmate, the students of Class 1-A looked at him in utter shock.
“Yuga…”, Momo stated, “Do you want us to die!?”
“I am sorry!”, he wept.
Standing in front of Ragdoll, who was lying in a crater of Muscular’s making, All For One told her he’d end her suffering quickly.
“Your Quirk will live on to further my plans.”, he stated grabbing her face.
“Rag…doll…”, Mandalay wheezed watching One For All take her Quirk.
Seeing her friend tearing up in the hole, Mandalay felt guilty that she couldn’t do anything to help her. Watching All For One walk towards Pixie-Bob next, she noticed Tiger forcing himself to stand up.
“Don’t…touch…my…friends…”, he panted as blood ran down his face.
“How noble of you to try and protect your friend, but you aren’t in any condition to stop me.”, All For One mocked him hitting him with an airblast.
Burying him in a brick wall, All For One started hitting him with several blasts one after another. Seeing that he was going to kill Tiger, Pixie-Bob pleaded for him to just take her Quirk and stop hurting him. Ignoring her pleas he kept going till Tiger stopped moving.
“Tiger!!”, Pixie-Bob coughed, “You can’t die on us!!”
“He’s already dead like the rest of you will be soon.”, All For One remarked reaching for her face, “I will use your Quirk to give you all a proper burial.”
Hearing a series of explosions happen behind him as he knelt down, All For One watched his fodder villains fly past him as they turned to dust. Turning back to see what was happening, he saw Kessler standing a few feet behind him.
—Cole POV—
Surveying the carnage, Muscular, Tomura, Kurogiri, and All For One turned to look at me. Realizing that they had spent too much time here, Kurogiri went to open a portal thinking I wouldn’t aim for him first.
“I see you have been quite rough with my students, colleagues, and those close to me.”, I said staring at All For One, “So you finally grew a pair, and stepped out of your mother’s basement. I was beginning to think that you were NEET old man.”
“Kurogiri, we are leaving.”, All For One stated starting to retreat.
Vanishing from my place, I reappeared behind their main means of transportation. Backhanding his head clean off his shoulders, he didn’t even register what happened as he faded into the darkness.
“When did I say you could leave?”, I remarked looking at them like they were trash.
Feeling the gravity around him change, All For One was forced to taste asphalt as he collapsed onto the ground. With him pinned I turned to look at All Might who was in pretty bad shape. Pulling the blade out of his back, I healed him completely using Overhaul. Healing his previous injuries, in addition to the one Yuga dealt him, he looked up at me in shock as he likely felt the best he had in years.
“I…I don’t feel any pain now.”, he said looking back to see the stab wound was completely healed.
“Of course, you don’t you are back to your prime now. That pesky injury you got a few years ago is fixed too.”, I told him, “Leave Muscular and All For One to me, go check on Izuku would you please? Yuga, don’t even think about running because we are going to talk about this.”
Hanging his head, he took a seat while I walked away. Launching himself forward, Muscular attempted to shoulder-check me in the face. Sending my right knee upwards, I slammed it into his face hard enough to create an audible crunch sound. Grabbing the back of his head quickly afterward, I smashed into the concrete walkway.
“There are a lot of people whose lives you ruined out there, and I happen to know one little boy in particular. His parents were the ones that gave you that scar, ring a bell?”, I questioned him.
“Yes I do!”, he responded as I let him go.
Pushing himself off the ground, he looked up and went to attack me again.
“Good…I want to make sure you remembered them.”, I said aiming my hand at his face, “They send their warm regards.”
Blasting a high-pressure stream of water straight through his head he stared at me with a dumbfounded look as it shot out the back of his skull. Collapsing to the ground wearing that same look, I kicked him in the gut sending him skipping across the grass. Focusing my attention on the Pussycats next, I walked over to Mandalay first as she was the closest to me. Pulling her out of the wall, I healed her injuries then went to Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll next. Moving towards Tiger last, Pixie-Bob asked me a question.
“Is he…is he dead?”, Pixie-Bob asked.
“No…”, Tiger coughed as I pulled him out of the wall and healed him to full health, “You aren’t getting my recliner that easy.”
“Damn you!! I am being serious here, I thought you died!”, Pixie-Bob hissed as she punched him in the face.
“No, I just fainted.”, he said shielding his face, “More importantly…Ragdoll, I am sorry we couldn’t stop him from taking your Quick.”
Telling them that she was happy they didn’t die, she still wore a downcast expression. Looking at me with a curious look, Mandalay asked about what I did to Muscular. Saying that it looked an awful lot like Kota's parent's QUirk, I nodded my head and confirmed it was his father’s Quirk.
“How do you have it!?”, she demanded.
“Because that fucker over there stole it from them while they were in the morgue.”, I replied pointing at All For One who was still eating asphalt, “He’s been working with Dr. Kyudai Garaki to steal Quirks from children and deceased individuals, and also funded his research into what they call Nomu. These Nomu are made from the corpses of dead Heroes they have been collecting in secret for years.”
Watching their jaws drop, they asked where I got that information. Telling them that I had been gathering it for a while now, I gave them a devilish smile.
“I have been working on this since I arrived in Japan. All of you would have realized it, if not for his moles in the Hero Association and Police. He’s also got the backing of the Huntsman Family who provided media assets to him to discredit Heroes, and cover his tracks.”, I told them, “Isn’t that right?”
Glaring at me, All For One was furious that I knew everything. Demanding that I just end this farce, I shrugged my shoulders not really giving a crap about what he wanted.
“Jeez, you must be really ready to die.”, I said severing the increased gravity, “Before I kill you, you took something from Ragdoll. I will have you give that back one way or another.”
“You obviously haven’t done your research, I can’t give Quirks back to their original host.”, he spat as he shakily stood up.
“I said one way or another.”, I chuckled as I grabbed his face, “Since I am sure Mandalay and the others will figure it out soon enough, you aren’t the only one that can take Quirks.”
Staring at me in horror, All For One opened a portal behind himself and tried to shake free. Digging my fingers into his skull, my eyes changed to red as I cracked a smile.
“Unlike yours though, when I take Quirks it’s quite painful!”, I informed him.
Staring to take Quirks from him, he let out unholy screams as my red lightning covered his body. As the Quirks that sustained him were taken, his life quickly started to end in quite a gruesome fashion. Watching his skin and body augments start falling off of him, he finally gave up the ghost right as I stole All For One from him.
“That’s all she wrote.”, I said dusting my hands off and returned my eyes to their glowing blue color, “He really was full of shit.”
Burning the remains to ensure no one could use his DNA to make copies of All For One, I turned to the Pussycats with a nod.
