The monster let out a breath, and the world shuddered.
All For One blurred and appeared behind Endeavor before disappearing in the very next moment.
CRACK!
Endeavor's back caved in, and he was sent flying hundreds of meters, leaving behind a blood trail through the dust.
Edgeshot and Kamui Woods didn't even see the Villain coming; the former was mutilated on the spot, and the latter ceased to exist, leaving behind two bloody wooden stumps.
Alexander Becking clenched his teeth as the monster came for him.
As the massive fist replaced the world in his vision, he questioned why he was even here.
He had a simple mission — to search for Dr. Blessed and retrieve the cyborg secretly. Then why had he listened to his supposed enemy and come here, joining a fight that had nothing to do with him?
[… because…]
"Don't you fucking say it?!" Alex screamed, making a fist of his own.
[… You are a Radiant.] Singularity finished.
Gravity Crusher: Plus Ultra —
Alex's blue eyes radiated an otherworldly blueness, his fist splitting the air as it moved forward.
In that moment, he pushed his Quirk like he never had before, aging over a year instantly.
The Radiant and the Claw's fists collided, creating a vacuum.
— Singularity Punch!
"Hahaha…" All For One's beastly laugh echoed under the resulting BOOM. "Impact Nullification!"
CRACK!
Alex's right arm shattered, bones disintegrating as muscles ruptured, showering the air with blood.
All For One's enormous arm kept going, hitting Alex's face and sending him flying, the huge old man disappearing into the distance.
Silence.
The world watched as, with loud thuds, the Villain walked toward a deflated All Might.
Midoriya, the students, the teachers, the Heroes, and the people across the world looked at the screens, aghast.
"Win…" someone said, as the Villain walked toward All Might.
"Win…" Bakugo cried as the Villain grinned toward All Might.
"Win…"
"Win…"
"Win…"
"You can do it! All Might!" the world screamed together. "You must win!"
On the battlefield, the lady buried under debris behind All Might reached out with her only hand. "… Don't lose…"
Toshinori… Nana Shimura's voice echoed in All Might's mind. When you think you are at your limit, remember why you clench your fist… remember why you smile… remember — your origin!
All Might made a fist, his entire right arm inflating, along with the smile on his lips.
"Of course, miss…" he said, as All For One stood right in front of him. "A Hero cannot lose, as long as he has someone to protect. I… cannot lose!"
"Bold words…" All For One replied, lifting his right hand. "… for someone whose fuel is a few embers…"
All Might looked up, bloody and battered.
All For One looked down, feeling mighty.
Their arms moved in sync with their eyes.
And the world lost all sound for a moment as their fists met, the space itself distorting around them before exploding into a magnificent BOOOM!
"Cough!" All Might coughed up blood as All For One once again used Impact Nullification, mutilating his entire right arm.
Creating a deep chasm, All Might's feet kept skidding back as he vainly tried to counter All For One's momentum.
"How unsightly…" the Villain commented, pressing down.
Something snapped within All Might. "Yeah…" he mumbled to himself, biting his teeth and digging his feet deeper into the earth. "Unsightly… they must be seeing me, too… my students. I… cannot teach them to back up… against filth like you… All For One."
They came to a sudden halt, the earth cracking beneath their feet.
All Might switched his hands, his left arm inflating in place of his right.
Rushing past the monster's huge arm, he planted his entire fist into the Villain's side.
"Haha!" All For One laughed. "Impact Nullification!"
All Might's blue eyes becoming needles, the smile on his face widening, as the move that should have reverted and mutilated his left hand didn't even draw blood.
"… a fake…" All For One mumbled, shocked.
Yes. Shocked. Because All Might only had his left arm remaining, his right arm twisted and bent beyond measure.
"Haha…" All Might laughed, lifting the same right arm. "Even now… your arrogance underestimates a Hero's will…"
One For All is a beacon of Hope, Nana Shimura had said. From one to another… passed down… for the good of all. Do your best… Toshinori.
"Yeah…" All Might's right arm bulged as he made a fist. "Master… AHHHHHH!"
Winds surged.
Multicolored lights twinkled.
A great force of fate gathered on All Might as he punched, putting his back into it.
United —
"Goodbye…" All Might said, the embers within him dying, flickering out as his fist landed on the Villain's chest. "… All For One…"
— States of —
"Goodbye… One For All."
— SMASH!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A great typhoon formed as the Villain was sent flying.
It circled All Might before enlarging, covering hundreds of meters around him.
The world looked on as the clouds of dust loomed over the field, the choppers in the sky struggling to balance against the high winds.
Soon, the dust began settling, revealing a figure.
It was All Might, hunched over, blood dripping from his mouth.
A silence lingered among the people as they even forgot to breathe, waiting for something.
Something…
Like All Might lifting his left hand.
A wave of stupendous cheer washed over millions of people watching this scene.
That… was a mistake.
Because, in the very next moment, their faces lost all color, becoming white.
"TOSHINORI!" Gran Torino shouted, flying toward him. "BEHIND YOU!!"
A figure appeared behind All Might, tearing out from the earth like a mole.
"That was…" All For One's voice rang, like a wounded primal beast. "… weak… All Might…"
Sonic booms rang out as All For One punched, putting his back into it.
All Might couldn't even move his eyes.
"Haaaaaaa!" Gran Torino shouted, bloody tears running down his legs.
With one great push of air from the soles of his feet, he appeared between All For One's fist and All Might's back.
Crunch!
Boooooooooom!!
And All Might was sent flying — Gran Torino exploding into a shower of bloody mist.
