One for All (Part 15)

All for One brought his arms up just in time to block an enraged punch from a gigantic Dark Shadow. The force of the blow sent All for One flying backwards. Before he could recover, Tokoyami and Dark Shadow were right on top of him. All for One was subjected to a flurry of blows that cracked the ground underneath him. Tokoyami unleashed all of his rage, allowing Dark Shadow to take complete control. This meant not a single strike was restrained in the slightest. All for One had been caught by surprise and the hero would monopolize on this moment.

Chris stared at the scene in front of him with complete surprise. Just a moment ago, he had been staring death in the face. Now Tokoyami, or Tsukuyomi, rather, was decimating All for One. Chris tried to stand up, but the slightest movement sent jolts of searing pain through his entire body. Chris fell back to the ground, unable to move. Then he was suddenly picked up again. He opened his eyes and saw Jason. "...Endgame…?" "What the hell did I tell you about making me finish the job myself?" Chris managed to force a smile. "...go to hell, dude…" Jason smiled as he carried his friend away from the battlefield. "You did all you could. Let's get you out of here."

All for One could sense that Chris was getting away. He couldn't allow for this to happen. Should Chris recover, he would once again become the biggest threat to the League of Villains, and to villains across the country. If his legacy was to live on, Shigaraki must survive. That meant Chris must die here. One for All must die here.

Jason turned his head as he heard a massive shockwave go off. Tokoyami was sent airborne. All for One was suddenly above Tokoyami and slammed him back down into the ground, cratering the earth. All for One looked down at Tokoyami. The feathered student wasn't moving anymore, and Dark Shadow had receded back into the host's body. "That's better. Now…" The beat up villain turned towards Jason and Chris. The black haired hero narrowed his eyes. "...shit." All for One raised his hand, readying another shockwave. "...it's time to end this, Impact." The shockwave was fired. Jason tried to jump out of the way, but he was too slow.

Iida grabbed onto Chris and Jason and dragged them out of the shockwave's path with plenty of time to spare. All for One was shocked, given that he didn't expect anyone else at UA to rival Chris or All Might's speed. "That's interesting." He looked at where Iida had stopped. He was still hanging onto his two friends, keeping an eye on All for One. While he was distracted, Itsuka ran and grabbed the unconscious Aizawa, quickly moving him further into the forest. The villain put his hands in his pockets, still floating up in the sky. "I recognize that armor pattern. You're Tenya Iida, younger brother of the retired Ingenium, correct?" Iida stood up straight. "I AM Ingenium." "Isn't that cute. Trying to ensure your brother's legacy lives on?" Before the conversation could continue, All for One was struck by a powerful surge of electricity. This resulted in All for One falling to the ground. Denki smiled. "Bullseye!" As he said that, Shoto, Mina, Momo, Kyoko, and Kirishima came running out of the woods, making a beeline for All for One.

Iida let go of Jason and Chris. Jason laid Chris against a tree. "As soon as you've recovered enough, get back in the fight." Chris looked up at his friend. "...what…?" "We'll throw everything we can at him, but we're going to need your power to take him down." Jason stood back up and nodded to Iida. The two ran to join the others, leaving Chris to recover.
