I feel something off... did something happen to Hikaru? Satoru couldn't help but think in his mind as he and Izuku were flying to reach Oro and the others. All For One's Quirk seems to be growing stronger... I have a bad feeling.
In the distance, Satoru saw something: planes.
"Hey, kids," said the pilot of one of them. "Grip on. Your school bus is here."
Izuku used Black Whip to grip onto the plane, and Satoru grabbed Izuku's free hand.
"Thanks a lot!" Izuku said.
"Damn you... If we are being honest, we must defend U.A.'s aerial space."
"Sorry!" said Izuku.
"We're counting on both of you," said the pilot. "We... stayed in Japan even though they ordered us to retreat. Why, you ask? Because our little sister... betted everything on you. If you really inherited All Might's and All For One's powers respectively, then this means you're the only ones who can actually defeat those monsters, so go, use us as trampolines!"
I swear, thought Satoru. I'll stop them both. All For One and Tomura-nii. I'll stop 'em both.

Coffin in the Sky
N-no, this cannot be real... Monoma thought. Oro-san... he can't be dead! This is not how it was supposed to end!
"Oro-san!" Bakugo rushed forward and knelt over Oro's body. "Please, Oro-san, speak up! Do something! Oro-san!"
"Oro..." Best Jeanist muttered. "His heart isn't beating... he hit him in the heart."
Bakugo dug his fingers into the floor. "N-no... Oro-san..."
He died... he died to save me... why am I always the one who messes up things? Why?
"Oro-san... why didn't you let me die?" Bakugo shook Oro's body. "I was way more sacrificeable than you!"
"Fine, whose turn is it now?" Shigaraki said. "Who wants to become the next gift for Midoriya Izuku and Satoru?"
"You goddammed monster!" Mirko charged forward, but Shigaraki grabbed her leg. "How dare you kill my boyfriend! I'll never forgive you! If only I had killed you that day... if only I had hit you harder!"
"Oh, poor Usagiyama Rumi," Shigaraki said. "Don't blame yourself for it. There were still a lot of Heroes, after all... you're not the only one who's been useless."
Best Jeanist was trying to rebuild Oro's heart with his fibers, while Bakugo was holding Oro's hand tightly.
"Please, Jeanist... do something to save him!" Bakugo exclaimed.
I've never seen him so worried... Best Jeanist thought. He really cares about Oro...
Suddenly, Edgeshot stepped forward.
"Edgeshot..." Best Jeanist said.
"Yeah... the Ninja Hero who can slip through everything," said Edgeshot. He used his Quirk, and some of his body went inside Oro's chest. "I have no intention of giving up. Oro is way more important than us. If there's a way to save him, then we must do it. Mirko, hold on! Bite him, even if you have only your head! Avenge your boyfriend!"
"It's all useless," said Shigaraki. Edgeshot had already started to enter Oro's body with his Quirk.
"I won't accept this," said Edgeshot. "Even if his heart stopped... Oro's is a life we can't afford to lose!"
Bakugo looked up to Edgeshot. "You mean... he can still be saved...?"
"If everything goes well, yes," said Edgeshot. "Oro is not totally dead yet."
"We still have time. I'll replace what's missing, and I'll make his heart beat again."
"Kamihara..." said Best Jeanist. "You won't be able to go back."
"That's why I leave the rest to you, President Hakamada."
I... will become Oro's heart!
In his smallest form, Edgeshot entered Oro's chest and saw his heart, which had been sewn up by Best Jeanist.
Jeanist sewn it up, but the bleeding hasn't stopped, and there are internal damages. He also has pulmonary wounds. With my body, I'll repair the organs inside and outside.
"Please, Oro-san... keep living..." Bakugo said, tightening his grip on Oro's hand. "Don't leave us! I still have to ask for your autograph! You can't die!"
"It's no use," Shigaraki said, getting closer. "That heart you're trying to repair... I've already destroyed it."
"I... have already destroyed it!"
Shigaraki attacked again, and Best Jeanist prepared his fibers. Suddenly, though, Mirko broke free and kicked Shigaraki.
"You really want to get crushed, huh?" Shigaraki said. "Don't worry, you'll reach your lover in Hell very soon!"
Shigaraki's mouth on his hand bit off a portion of Mirko's arm.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did you just falter?" Mirko said, charging forward once again. "You're so kind, Demon Lord!"
Shigaraki attacked again, but Mirio appeared from the floor and covered his eyes, allowing Mirko to kick him.
"C'mon, Edgeshot, keep going..." Bakugo said. Oro's body was slightly jumping due to the cardiac massage Edgeshot was giving him from inside. "Hold on... hold on!"
Shigaraki transformed into something else. Maybe it was due to his body's own evolution, but his features were more monstrous and creepy. Thanks to this new form, Shigaraki punched everyone away and then started to walk towards Oro, Bakugo, and Best Jeanist.
No... I alone don't even draw his attention, thought Mirio. Dammit! He assumed this form to defend himself... Is this really my future?
Mirio heard Mandalay's voice. "The barrier will be deactivated for just two seconds! You have to resist!"
Two seconds are too much... Mirio thought. But I still have to buy us two seconds... what should I do? I'm useles.. He doesn't even see me. I have to draw his attention!
Mirio used his Quirk and disappeared onto the floor. A society without happiness or humor... will not have... a bright future.
"It's peachy keen!" Mirio appeared in front of Shigaraki, showing his butt. Shigaraki stopped for a second. Then he felt a strange presence. When he looked to his right, he realized whose presence it was.
"SMAAAAAASSSSHHH!"
Satoru and Izuku had finally arrived. The red-haired boy punched Shigaraki in the face with force, making him stumble a few feet away.
"Dark Matter! Deku!"
Shigaraki smashes against the barrier, which rose again just in time.
Don't need to worry anymore, guys, Satoru thought. I am here.
