Before

Takami Keigo POV (Hawks)

I felt it down to my bones. The tension here could almost be cut with a knife, and everyone was eyeing everyone with supicion, but no one would turn on each other.

Because no one could afford too. No one could afford to stop here.

I suppose I never truly realized how dangerous these people considered All For One to be. Hell, even with all of the Meta Liberation Army on our side, I felt the doubt. The doubt in our ability to win.

I guess it said something about our enemy that we were attacking now, while he was still injured, maybe his doctor was under the process of doing surgery on him at this very moment.

Two, maybe three, villains were about to fight not just the might of Japan's heroes, not just the might of Japan's heroes and villains, no, they were about to face the might of the entire world.

High ranking heroes from all around the world were here, and villains that were thought to be long retired had returned, just to stop All For One.

It really made me wonder just what the hell we were facing.

_____________________

Looking around for a familiar face, it was hard, the Hero Commision doesn't care much for heroes and villains that are not based in japan if they don't operate internationally, and I didn't find a single one until I saw that face.

A villain I had fought on a trip to mexico, with the quirk he called Ghost, that allowed him to turn himself intangible at will. Wraith.

He saw me and smiled.

"I see you don't understand why we all gathered to kill one old man?"

He understood. How?

At my silence he continued.

"I understand why you don't. All you know about him is that All Might beat him, yes?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I was there. It... well, it was horrible. No other way to say it. The thing that is left out is that All Might was never winning. All Might was really just buying time for the media to get there, as All For One leaves when that happens."

I am sensing a but here.

"But he didn't that time?"

Wraith smiled wryly at that, and the smile resembled a grimace more then a smile.

"No, he didn't. Just ripped the helicopter right out of the sky. He was so close to killing All Might too. If that hero hadn't interviened, some newbie that could mess up mental quirks, All Might would have been dead."

"Then... why isn't that newbie, as you called him, here?"

Wraith grimaced at that.

"Well, he fucked over All For One while he was in reach of him. What do you think happened?"

Oh.

"Well, I'm off. See ya, hawks."

Wraith walked off, leaving me in silence.

Now then, how would we do this?

Toshinori Yagi POV

It's almost time now. The minutes are ticking down, and soon I will be fighting side by side of some of my worst enemies.

Re-Destro, Mad Whisperer, Black Goat and Hungry Zebra to just name a few.

No one wants to fight the cannibal that grows stronger the more humans he eats, nor do you want to fight the man that can grow into a dragon that eventually grows so large it's teeth are bigger then you.

But the Mad Whisperer? If All For One and his ilk didn't exist I would call him the worst of all villains. The worlds most powerful terrakinetic, and anytime you fought him you did so while he was holding a city hostage.

Combine that with the fact that he grows physically stronger the more cement he is controlling? It's a terror to fight, and he knows that.

"Calm yourself, Black Goat."

The president of the Hero Public Safety Commison, that controls the Hero Commision, mind you, and while not in possesion of a powerful quirk, she is one of the most influention women in the world.

"Now, let's begin this meeting." Her eyes scanned around the table where our most powerful fighters sat. The fact that most of them were villains was something truly depressing.

"We are here to fight the villain known as 'All For One' or 'Sensei'. According to the braintank he is currently undergoing the surgery to recopurate from his wounds, and it will most likely finish soon."

A few nervous shuffles were what she got in response to that, and that seemed to satisfy her.

"The braintank has been unable to locate him, but has reached the conclusion that the villain known as 'Shadow Queen' will most likely be located at his position, and that the villain known as 'Gigantomachia' will most likely be used as bait to draw our attention away from the location of the villain known as 'All For One'."

"Remember, don't hesitate to use lethal force. For these people, death is a mercy compared to the life they will have under their 'Sensei'."

Her eyes searched around all the participants of the meeting before she found my eyes, and my stomach dropped, now that I had one that could do that.

"That goes for all of you."

She took my silence as understanding. I suppose it was.

"Well then, let's give All For One a show."

I am sorry, young Midoriya, but this is the only way.

Midoriya Kyoko POV

Gigantomachi got here in time. Good.

It would be next to impossible to protect Kuro without him, especially now, while I am still limited.

Atleast the doctor had been able to improve me a little bit, enough to not get swept away like a leaf by what would come.

Gigantomachi was not what I had expected, being more like an excitable puppy then the feared villain I have been told he was.

I suppose today will show, won't it?

If only the heroes had attacked yesterday, when we could have moved Sensei.

Me and Machi would simply have to stop them before they made it down into the base.

Or... draw away their attention.

A smile flitted across my face, as plans were made and discarded, each checked through again and again with the many mental quirks I had.

And I found the key. Me. I don't want to do this, but I will have to leave the side of Sensei for a short while. What they were counting on me not doing.

I am sometimes astounded at the amount of mental quirks I have.

I think it was something of a hobby of Sensei's to collect them for me.

The thought made my heart warm, and my smile grew that bit from satisified to manic.

I'm by no means complaining about those quirks though.

It made me think of the past few months, the best of my life.

Still, like all good things, I had to stop eventually.

It's time for the show to begin, after all.

"Gigantomachi. Follow me, we are moving to the other hospital wing two."

My voice was cold, but that didn't bother the puppy in the form of a giant, that heard my voice, almost quiet enough to be a whisper, from across the building.

I vanished in a flash of green light, and Gigantomachi followed me to my destination in a mad rush.

I looked up at the giant that was standing infront of my position, towering above me even as I stood on a house and he on the ground, and I gave my orders.

"Machia. Search and Destroy."

His wild and frenzied state that rushed towards the first wave of heroes and villains, that had thought themselves so well hidden put a smile on my face.

I didn't care much for All Might, but if Kuro wanted him to suffer, well, then there was only one thing to do.

I am sorry All Might, but this is the only way. It's the will of Sensei, after all.

"Well then, One For All, let's put on a good show, eh?"
