One for All (Part 9)

Chris sprinted forward and landed a solid punch against All for One's chest. The villain hadn't even attempted to move. Despite that, Chris felt his arm flare up with pain. Chris ignored the pain and jumped into the air, flipping and kicking All for One's arm. All for One barely budged, and Chris's leg flared up with pain. He jumped away, and the pain in his arm and leg receded. He shook his arm before running back at All for One.

Pres Mic was at the main UA entrance, making sure the students were getting out safely. Aizawa ran up to him. "My class is all accounted for! What about yours?!" The blonde hero looked towards Aizawa. "Mine are accounted for! Now I'm on crowd control!" "Good! Once all of the students are out of the way, send the rest of the heroes in to help out!" Aizawa sprinted back towards the school. Pres Mic shouted at Aizawa. "Wait! Where are you going!" "To help the others! They won't last long without a pro helping them!"

Chris raised his hand towards All for One. "Delaware Smash!" With the flick of a finger, an 80% shockwave was sent rocketing towards All for One. The villain raised a hand, which seemingly negated whatever damage the attack should've done. Chris rushed forward and punched All for One in the stomach. Again, nothing. Chris powered up One for All to 81%, just slightly beyond his limit, and unleashed a barrage of punches. The ground began to shake as Chris sped up. Shockwaves formed after every single hit. All for One didn't raise his hands to protect himself. He just stood there as Chris continued blasting him with punches. After the 300th punch, Chris staggered backwards, holding his right arm. "Son of a bitch!" Chris's arms were shaking. It wasn't fear. Something was seriously wrong here.

All for One laughed. Chris looked up at him. "...I suppose this is your doing…" "Indeed it is, Impact. It's the same technique I used to wear down All Might: Hit Recoil. Every time you punch me, or land any physical attack for that matter, you'll feel 25% of the damage. However, thanks to my quirk enhancers, on top of… 'other improvements', you're now feeling 150% of the damage you're trying to do to me. And I'll just regenerate from any damage you do manage to deal." Chris gritted his teeth. This was bad. He couldn't keep this up. He remembered how All Might endured the pain of battling the first Nomu all the way back at the USJ. However, that was different. That Nomu was just absorbing the shock, and All Might had just been forced to attack faster in order to outpace the Nomu's regeneration. In this case, All for One's regeneration was being enhanced by some kind of quirk enhancer, on top of this not being shock absorption, but his own attacks being reflected back at him. In other words, Chris hurt himself more with every punch than the guy he was trying to beat. That would normally mean switching to long range attacks, but those weren't working on All for One either.

All for One was suddenly in front of Chris. Before the student could jump away, the villain grabbed Chris by the head and slammed it down into his own knee. Blood splattered everywhere as Chris's nose shattered. Chris was then sent flying by what felt like several lightning quick punches. Before he had even hit the ground, All for One was already there and caught him. Chris used his free arm to punch All for One in the stomach, but it once again did nothing more than hurt Chris even more. All for One raised Chris up and slammed him down into the ground. The hard ground shattered and the shockwave could be felt for a mile. Despite the dust cloud created as a result, All for One could see Chris with his sonar quirk. He brought his foot back and kicked Chris with all of his strength. Chris spat out blood as he was once again sent airborne. He was eventually slowed down by about a dozen trees, which were now destroyed. Chris landed on his stomach and just layed there for a second, trying to catch his breath. He watched All for One slowly walk out of the dust cloud. "Is that truly the extent of your training, Chris? I thought six months with All Might and Gran Torino would've made you stronger." Chris tried to get back up, but a sharp pain in his left arm and left side kept him down. He recognized this kind of pain: broken bones. His body couldn't take much more of this.

All for One brought his hand up. His arm once again began to grow as a shockwave was prepared. "This particular combination is Air Cannon with Spring Like Limbs. It allows me to condense even more air pressure than what would normally be allowed. Even All Might couldn't take a full powered blast head on without consequences. Chris glared up at All for One, preparing to jump out of the way at the last minute.

All for One's attack suddenly vanished. Both Chris and All for One were surprised. Then some very familiar looking scarf wrapped around the villain's outstretched arm. All for One looked towards the source and smiled underneath his mask. "Hello Eraserhead. Have you come to save your student?" Aizawa glared at the villain, his eyes bright red in order to keep All for One's quirks erased. "All for One. It's time for me to take you into custody."
