Chapter 11: The End of Captain FalconAuthor: Geraint(MC's POV)
All Might and I sneaked behind the old warehouse, checking the GPS on my phone.
"It's around here," I said.
I stared at the concrete wall, placing my palm on its surface. All Might stood behind me, visibly tense and impatient.
"I know you can sense the evil inside, All Might," I whispered. "But our priority is rescuing the kidnapped children and getting them out of here as quickly as possible. There'll be a big fight later, but right now, we can't afford any distractions."
All Might silently nodded.
"Here's the plan... There's a high chance they already know we're here, but we're not making a big entrance. We'll break through this wall and immediately take down the villains guarding the children. We have to move fast."
"Hmm," All Might agreed.
"Okay. Let's do this."
As I wound up to punch the wall—
"Falcon... Pun—"
"CAPTAIN FALCON!!!"
A loud, familiar voice echoed from above.
"Ru—Mirko?!"
I turned and saw the other Pro Heroes behind her. They'd followed us.
I jumped away just in time as Rumi's powerful kick slammed into the ground.
BOOM!
A crater formed where I had just been. She looked furious.
"Sh*t!"(Rumi, you idiot!)
I glanced around—Pro Heroes surrounded us again.
"Tsk!"
I rushed toward Mirko.
"Finally want to fight me now?" she smirked.
She kicked at me again, but I dodged easily.
"Sorry, miss—but I don't have time for you."
I sprinted past her and struck the wall with my burning fist.
"Falcon... Punch!"
BOOM!
The wall exploded.
"All Might!" I called.
Together, we rushed inside the warehouse.
There were dozens of crying children, guarded by various types of Nomu. Among them was Risa, terrified and helpless.
You could see the despair in their eyes.
"Grrrr!"
Several Nomu charged at us.
"The... Gentleman!"
"Missouri... Smash!"
I unleashed a combo—two punches, a knee, and a barrage of fast strikes, finishing with a final blow that launched them into the roof. All Might ran through, flattening Nomu heads with each strike as he passed them.
THUD! CRASH!
The children looked up—hope in their eyes.
All Might let out his iconic laugh, instantly calming them.
"Hahaha! Ha ha ha ha!... It's fine now... Why? Because I am here!"
I smiled.(As expected of All Might.)
The children erupted in joy:
"It's All Might!""He's gonna save us!""Wait—he's with Captain Falcon!""Captain Falcon is alive!""The villains are screwed!"
We continued fighting the Nomu as the children cheered.
"Knee of Justice!""Texas Smash!"
All Might and I had each other's backs.
"What's going on—huh?" Mirko entered the warehouse, stunned at the scene.
The other Pro Heroes followed her, frozen in shock.
They watched as we fought to protect the children—the very essence of heroism they had forgotten.
"I won't let you guys hog the spotlight! Let me join in!"
Mirko dashed forward, kicking a Nomu. She spun in midair, striking several more.
"Luna Ring!"
Seeing her join the battle—
"Ugh! I have to redeem myself!""Me too!""I can't call myself a Pro Hero if I don't help them!"
One by one, the Pro Heroes joined the fight.
Endeavor grunted. "Everyone! Forget Falcon! Our priority is rescuing the children!"
With their help, the rescue went smoothly.
"Take that!" Mirko shouted, kicking away the last Nomu.
"Is that the last of them?"
Suddenly, I sensed something sinister—and then the warehouse gate exploded.
CRASH!
A powerful shockwave blasted through, but I leapt in front of Mirko and blocked it with my right hand.
PEEEWW!
The shockwave was nullified.
Mirko's eyes widened. "Quirk Erasing? Isn't this Ichika's...?"
(You silly head—why do you have to be sharp today?!)
She was going to find out soon.
All For One stepped into view, and we all turned our attention to him.
"Ho-ho~ still alive, Captain Falcon? I thought you'd gone straight to hell."
I grinned. "Hehe... I was lonely there without you. So I came back—to take you with me."
"All For One! I'll make you pay!"
All Might charged at him.
"Wait!" I shouted, but it was too late.
TSK!
I followed right behind him.
"You're here too, All Might."
All Might swung his fist, but All For One blocked it with his palm.
BOOM!
A shockwave rippled through the warehouse.
"Uuuuugh!"All Might was pushed back.
"Raptor Boost!"
Sliding beside him, I launched a fire-imbued uppercut.
"Captain Falcon!"
All For One dodged, leaping away.
PEEEWW!
The shockwave of his attack fizzled out.
"Captain Falcon, you've been a thorn in my side for years. I'll kill you and the Symbol of Peace together."
"Let's see you try. I'm your weakness, remember?"
All For One grinned.
"Did you think this would be like last time? I came prepared."
His left hand twisted into a long, chained chainsaw—dripping purple liquid.
(A toxic chainsaw!)
BRRRNNGG!!!
"Go back to hell, Captain Falcon!"
I tried to dodge, but my body suddenly went numb.
(Sht! Not now!*)
My time limit was up.
"Falcon!"
I saw All Might planning to shield me.
(No! It's my fault—this ends with me!)
I forced my body to move, bumping him away.
BRRRNNGG!
The chainsaw pierced my stomach.
"Hahaha!"
Blood gushed out as I held the chainsaw with both hands to stop it from tearing me apart.
"Detroit Smash!"
All Might smashed All For One's chest, sending him flying through the wall.
I dropped to my knees, bleeding heavily.
(That bastard... got me.)
"Falcon!"
All Might rushed to me.
The other Pro Heroes turned pale at my condition.
I gathered the last of my strength.
"ALL MIGHT, GO!!!"
"But—"
"Go! Stop him, or more will suffer!"
PantPant"Ugh..."
All Might clenched his fists, then turned.
"Sorry, Falcon."
I nodded.
He ran outside after All For One.
I was left, dying, listening to their battle rage on.
Mirko stood in front of me, looking devastated.
"Captain Falcon, you..."
"You don't have to grieve for me, Miss. I was supposed to be dead anyway."
Suddenly, she grabbed my collar and lifted me.
"Mirko! What are you doing?!"
Other heroes scolded her.
She looked furious.
"Verge of death? He still has the strength to talk back to me!"
"Uuugh!"
My stomach burned—but the pain faded.
"Falcon! Why don't you keep living?! Don't die!"
She shook me.
(This isn't how you treat a dying man!)
"Mirko! Put him down!"
The Pro Heroes stepped in, making her let go.
Mirko scowled and turned away.
"How disappointing... Tsk."
Then—electricity crackled around me. My body shrank.
"Huh?"
My strength returned. The wound on my stomach glowed, and the pain vanished.
Light particles drifted off my body—forming a silhouette of Captain Falcon. It saluted me with a smile before disappearing.
"A... child?"
Everyone gasped.
I looked at myself—back in my child form.
The wound was gone.
Looking at my hands, I could still feel Falcon's power.
Captain Falcon and my real body had fused into one.
I clenched my fist—flames ignited.
The Captain Falcon form was gone… but I had become him.
Mirko froze. "You're..."
I stood, cracking my knuckles.
"It's payback time, All For One."
