The Battle Is Won

Nomu grabbed a hold of Izuku's arm and raised his fist to hit him. At the same time Tsuyu batted Shigaraki's hand away and used her tongue to catch onto Izuku but that didn't stop Shigaraki from reaching out to her as well as Mineta.

Fubuki went to protect Mineta though she was in Shigaraki's view instead. "No…!" Reina yelled, "... Don't please!" She tried to run to them despite her injuries but Tadano grabbed a hold of her to prevent her from moving again; She could only watch as her best friend and new friends were about to be killed.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" She exclaimed as she had been in tears once more; Her eyes began to turn gold again, which once again had gone unnoticed.

BOOM!

Everyone soon stopped, as they were drawn to an explosion just at the entrance; even the Villains looked to the doors. The students were relieved, some were in tears when they had seen who had stepped out of the smoke. It was the Symbol of Peace himself, All Might.

"It's fine now!" They heard him say, "I am here!"

Though both Reina and Izuku were relieved to see All Might, in his Hero form, however they noticed something missing, something very crucial.

"All Might-senpai… He's…" Reina started to say.

"... Not smiling." Izuku finished.

"Oh…" Shigaraki had said, glad about this predicament, "... We're getting a 'Continue' after all, huh…?"

All Might threw off his coat and tie and made his way towards the stairs, where some of the Villains regained consciousness and they were taken back by his appearance.

"That's All Might?" One of them said.

"It's my first time seeing him in person!" Another said, "He looks so intimidating…"

A third one had soon said, "You idiots, don't hesitate! If we kill him than we'll--!"

The whole group were literally blown away as All Might moved seemingly faster than the speed of sound. He stopped just beside Shota who had now been bleeding profoundly from his wounds. He picked him up off the floor noticing the wounds he had gotten.

"I'm sorry Aizawa-kun."

He turned over to Josephine who had still been tied up, and than to Reina who was still under Tadano's grip. All Might took notice of her wounds as well as the tears from her eyes that still had the color of gold; albeit it made him all the more angry. Reina suddenly felt herself being pulled as Tadano had been sent rolling across the ground with a cry of agony.

Izuku, Tsuyu, Fubuki and Mineta had felt the same feeling as they were pulled away from the water and the same with Josephine when she felt her binds break suddenly; the hand that had been covering Shigaraki's face came off in the process. Once he was at a safe distance, he put Reina and Shota on the floor while he allowed the rest of them to stand.

"Huh?" Mineta said confused, "What just happened?"

"Josephine-san!" All Might soon said, "I'm leaving the students and Aizawa-kun in your care. Get them to the entrance."

"Of course." Josephine said before she held her hand out to Reina, "Reina-chan, hon? Can you stand?"

Reina turned to Josephine, just as the gold color in her eyes reverted back, "I--" She started to say wiping away her tears, as she went to take her hand, "--I think so."

The collar that had been around Reina's neck activated suddenly as it started to glow red. She cried out when she felt a sudden jolt of electricity go through her veins and nerves causing her to fall on her back making everyone jump.

"Reina-chan!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Ribbit--The collar's hurting her!" Tsuyu said.

They soon heard a shot fire followed by what looked to be a hook that grabbed a hold of Reina's jacket collar just as it's light went back to being white giving her a chance to breathe as her body shivered with electricity. Once more she felt herself being pulled, as she let out a scream making the group jump again. She landed on her side at Tadano's feet, who had been the source of the hook and the one who activated the collar. She tried to get up but Tadano prevented her from doing so when he pressed his boot against her side, making her groan since it was on her ribs.

"She's not going anywhere." Tadano said as he armed himself after he had adjusted his mask and retracted the hook.

"Reina-chan!" Izuku shouted again. Before he could run to her, All Might had stopped him in his tracks. "You stay back Young Midoriya." All Might said.

They soon heard Shigaraki let out shaky breaths as he used both of his hands to cover his face.

"It's no good…" He said, using one of his hands to navigate all the while he kept his face covered, "It's no good… It's not good… I-I'm sorry… I'm sorry Father…"

He kneeled on the floor as he retrieved the stone hand; after placing it back on his face, he let out a deep sigh.

"He hit me as he was saving them." Shigaraki said, "It's the violence of a government official. He's fast as expected. I can't follow him with my eyes. But… He's not as fast as I thought he would be." Reina looked over in Shigaraki's direction as she soon noticed that he had a smile on his face.

"It's true after all…" She heard him say, "... He's getting weaker."

Reina's eyes widened slightly at this remark, before she looked over to All Might's direction than over to Nomu, quickly putting together what they were going to do. She went back and forth a couple of times before she shouted, "All Might, don't fight against them! Just get Izuku-kun and the others out of here! Get Shota out of here! Save everyone else! Don't worry about me and go! Please!"

"Young Nouki, you should know better." All Might said to her as he stepped forward before he started to smile again, "Hero's never leave anyone behind, and you are no exception to that."

"All Might-senpai…" Reina said as she was on the verge of tears again.

"But she's right, you can't fight!" Izuku soon added, "That brain villain took the O--" He quickly stopped himself when he remembered, that his classmates, and Floyd's had been there with them; he quickly picked the sentence back up, "--He took a punch that didn't break my arm, but he didn't even twitch! Reina-chan even fought him and he didn't even react when she attacked him with her sword!"

"They both make a good point, All Might. I saw it with my own eyes, even Eraser's Quirk didn't affect him." Josephine said, "If I fight them than maybe I have a--"

"Young Midoriya! Josephine-san!" All Might said stop them. He turned to them, still with a smile though he gave a peace sign, "It's fine, I'll definitely save young Nouki."

Izuku had an unsure look on his face as he looked at Reina. He didn't feel that it was right to leave one of his dearest friends behind. Reina saw the look in his eyes and bit her bottom lip before she yelled, "Izuku-kun! I'll be okay! Trust what All Might says! Just go, and take care of Shota!"

Izuku's eyes widened when he saw the look in her eyes. Hesitantly with Shota on his back and Mineta carrying his legs. Tsuyu and Fubuki started to follow Josephine towards the entrance. All Might than turned back over to the Villains and Reina; he noticed that despite her trying to put on a brave face she was still scared as he saw she was trying to prevent herself from hyperventilating. For a moment he recalled that before that her eyes were of gold and a certain thought came to mind.

"If what Aizawa-kun said was true… Than I better make this quick." All Might thought to himself before he charged over at Shigaraki.

"CALORINA…"

"Nomu."

"... SMASH!"

All Might attacked with full force just as Nomu stepped right in front of Shigaraki, as expected his attack had no effect on him, while the water splashed just behind them. Nomu went to grab him but All Might dodged it in the nick of time.

"It seriously has no effect on him at all, huh!?" He said as he continued to dodge, "If that's the case--!"

He started to throw several punches to Nomu, hitting him right in the face, though it didn't seem to have affected him when he went at him again.

"It doesn't work in his face either huh?"

"Why?" Reina said, as she watched Nomu and All Might go at it with each other, "Even though All Might's attacking him with full force it's still not having an effect on him!"

"The reason why it doesn't work is because it's a shock absorption Quirk." Shigaraki said, as he went over to her, "That's why you couldn't hurt him earlier, Rei-chan. If you wanted to cause damage to Nomu it would be more effective to slowly gouge out his flesh. Though whether he'll let him do that is an entirely different issue."

Reina couldn't help but let out a little whimper when Shigaraki had gotten close to her; in response Shigaraki shushed her gently. "I know you don't remember me but that'll change soon when I take you back with me." He said as he scratched his neck a little, "... After that, I'll find that bitch, and make her pay for what she did to you."

"There it is again…." Reina thought in her head, "... He used that term again… Just who is this guy? Who is he talking about… Who is she….?"

All Might ducked and covered at the attack before saying, "Thanks for saying that, than it'll be easy for me if I do this!"

All Might had managed to get behind Nomu and grabbed, before he flipped him over causing a huge explosion, forcing Reina to shield her eyes and Shigaraki to steady himself from the blast as did Tadano. All the while, Izuku and the others watched as they made their way back towards the entrance, following close behind Josephine who had kept her guard up.

"How did he make that suplex explosion?!" Mineta said, impressed, "All Might is on a whole nother level!"

"Even though he's a rookie teacher who can't teach without looking at his notes." Tsuyu said.

"Come on kids, we have to keep moving." Josephine said to the young students.

Izuku couldn't help but look back as he had a certain thought in his head, "It's possible that they have a way to kill him… Even so, there's nothing we can do right now. We just have to trust All Might now." Though as he looked back again, he couldn't help but think back to his best friend currently held captive.

He thought about the expression he saw on her face as she told him to go. Though she tried to put on a brave face, he knew better. He saw nothing but fear in her eyes. A look he remembered seeing all too well.

He nor Reina, not even Katsuki never told Floyd what happened in their first year in middle school, or the reason why she transferred there in the middle of the year. Simply put, she got herself involved with the wrong kind of people and had been on the verge with sending herself to juvy.

It had been a group of young anti-heroes calling themselves the Black Knights, or at least that's what Izuku and even Katsuki thought at first. Over time however, they noticed that she had gotten more and more paranoid, and it hadn't been long before they found out their true intentions, and even found out the real reason Reina had been in the group.

The reason was because they were blackmailing her. They had known the true power of her Quirk and threatened to expose should she try to walk out.

Luckily they had been smart enough to get her out before it had gotten too crazy, but not without a few scratches and bruises from the now former Black Knights. She had the same look as she did back then, and it couldn't help but add more to his guilt on leaving her behind.

Not to mention no one else knew the real danger All Might was in. His form could only last for so long afterall. Especially after today, since he always followed the media; he knew All Might didn't have much time left after what he put himself through today.

Suddenly, they heard Reina let out a horrified shriek; They looked back and their eyes widened when they saw as to why. The Villain, named Kurogiri, had opened a warp gate just where Nomu would've landed. Nomu had been underneath him, sinking his fingers into his side causing it to bleed.

Shigaraki laughed amusingly at this, "Were you trying to keep him from moving by sticking him deep in the concrete?" He said, "You won't be able to stop him like that… Because Nomu is as strong as you are." He turned over to his comrade, "This is good Kurogiri, it's an unexpected opportunity."

Reina struggled against Tadano's foot despite the pain she had been in as to go help, while All Might himself struggled to get himself free. "So this is your first offense?" All Might said, "... You'd better prepare yourselves!"

Shigaraki hadn't said anything in reply at first as he went to scratch at his neck again, "Kurogiri."

Kurogiri soon said to All Might, "I don't want blood and guts flowing within me, but… I would be happy to take in someone as great as you." Reina's eyes widened when she realized their plan as she saw All Might start to sink with Nomu still holding him.

"NO!" She yelled as continued to struggle, "YOU CAN'T I WON'T LET YOU!"

"And what exactly are you going to do?" Tadano said pressing his foot harder against her ribs causing her to cringe, "With my collar still on you, you're basically Quirkless, not to mention your wounds will hinder your performance. I suggest that you don't do anything stupid and sit back and watch."

Despite this Reina still struggled as tears began to run down her face once more. "You can't go! You can't leave! Not like this!" She exclaimed in her thoughts as she tried to move, "You said you would save me! You said you would! I don't want to go with them! I don't want to! Please don't let them take me! Please God, don't do this!"

From a distance Izuku gulped before making a decision himself.

"Asui-san?" He said.

"What is it Midoriya-chan?" Tsuyu said.

"Take Aizawa-sensei for me."

"Ribbit--Okay, but why?"

Izuku didn't answer her as he handed Shota to Tsuyu; they had all been taken by surprise when they saw Izuku start to move forward, before he picked up the pace.

"MIDORIYA!" Josephine yelled, "COME BACK!"

"I'll get him!" Fubuki had signed before she ran off in his direction. "FUBUKI NO!" Josephine yelled, trying to grab her but missed.

"No All Might!" He said in his own head, tears began to form in his eyes as well "There are still a ton of things, I want you to teach me! And… I don't want Reina-chan to go!" He soon yelled out loud as he had gotten close, "ALL MIGHT! REINA-CHAN!"

All Might and Reina had been taken back, when they saw Izuku running to them instead of going with the group. "Izuku-kun!?" Reina exclaimed, "What are you doing!?" Izuku let out a cry as he jumped towards them reaching his hand out to them; though Kurogiri soon stood in his way making Reina gasped in horror.

"How foolish." Kurogiri said as he opened a warp gate.

Fubuki gasped and went to make an ice wall to at least prevent Izuku from going through, this time however Shigaraki went to act. He ran at high speed before he had been right in front of her catching her by surprise before he thrusted his hand towards her to grab her face like before.

Once more, Reina's eyes turned gold at the sight, "NOOOO!!!"

"DUCK AND COVER IZUKU!" A familiar voice soon shouted.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Floyd came jumping in, armed with a grenade made of ink, threw it over at Kurogiri. It had blown up with ink, blinding Kurogiri so that he had been forced to close the warp gate, giving Izuku enough time to stop in his tracks and for Floyd to land in front of Izuku.

"FLOYD!" Reina and Izuku exclaimed in relief to see that he had been alright and here.

Right when Shigaraki's hand was centimeters away from Fubuki's face, blade-like feathers hit his arm and wrist, causing him to cry out and back up grasping onto it. Chouko soon landed right in front of Fubuki in a protective stance. "Are you okay?" Chouko asked with a smile. Fubuki nodded her head as she let out a sigh of her own.

"Chou-chan!" Reina said as she was relieved to see her too.

Reina soon felt the weight lifted off of her, as Tadano once more screamed out of agony, though this time an explosion ringed through her eardrums.

"GET YOUR BOOT OFF OF REINA, YOU BASTARD!!" A familiar voice yelled as he sent Tadano flying and he hit the ground hard.

"Bakugou-kun!" Reina exclaimed as she finally moved herself as her eyes changed back. She watched as Katsuki pinned Tadano to the ground with his own foot and put his hand near his head. Floyd did the same to Kurogiri as he drew a 20 ton anvil letting it fall on top of his neck brace to prevent him from moving.

Ice had soon been seen forming across the floor, which Reina and Izuku thought it had been Fubuki at first but as it started to freeze over half of Nomu's body stopping just where he grabbed All Might--

"There's no way, I'm letting you kill All Might like this." Shoto said as he stepped forward; Fubuki looked at him with a smile as Shoto turned to her.

"Hey Fubuki." He said as he gave her a small smile. Fubuki couldn't help but cry as she laughed a little at the sight of her brother. All Might finally managed to get Nomu off of him just enough for him to jump off and get himself on the ground, holding his now bleeding side.

"SURPRISE BITCH!" Another familiar voice soon yelled. Gio along with Eijirou came jumping in an attempt to attack Shigaraki, though he quickly moved back before Gio and Eijiro had the chance.

"Oh come on!" Gio exclaimed.

"Damn it! Neither of us got to show off!" Eijirou complained.

"Seriously guys? At this time?" Floyd asked.

"What you guys got to do all the cool stuff!" Gio yelled, "Why couldn't we be cool!?"

As Floyd and Gio argued with one another, Izuku still had a relieved look since he had been happy to see everyone there and that they were alright. He wiped the tears on his eyes before he went over to Reina. "Are you okay Reina-chan?" Izuku asked as he allowed her to grab onto him.

"I'm alright." Reina said, wiping away her tears as well, "... Don't worry."

From the distance, Josephine looked relieved to see that her son was alright; Tsuyu and Mineta had relieved looks as well to see everyone had been there and they were in one piece.

"That's my boy." Josephine said with a smile.

"Thank goodness they're all okay." Tsuyu said.

"They're all amazing." Mineta said in awe.

They soon heard Shota let out a groan, and they remembered what they had to do. "Come on, let's hurry back to the entrance." Josephine said, "Don't worry about them, they'll be able to handle the situation."

"Yes ma'am!" Tsuyu and Mineta said. Thus they went forward as the students over where All Might had prepared themselves in case Shigaraki decided to fight them all at once. Tadano tried to loosen himself from Katsuki's grip though Katsuki merely tightened his hand.

"Hey Mask Freak…" Katsuki said with a look to kill, "... If you think I'm gonna go easy on you after what you put Reina through than you better think again."

Tadano attempted to reach for his weapon, though he froze when Katsuki emitted sparks from his hand. "Don't move!" Katsuki said still with a smile, "You try anything I don't like, and I'll blow your ass up sky high."

"Same goes for you, warpy!" Floyd said with a look of his own as he started to draw up another anvil all with a smile, "If I see you act all suspicious like than I'll add another weight onto that pretty little neckbrace of yours."

"That doesn't sound very Heroic." Eijirou commented.

"You sure you guys want to be Heroes?" Chouko asked curiously.

They turned over to Shigaraki as they saw him remove the feathers from his wrist and arm, tossing them to the floor. "Kurogiri, our entrance and exit has been overcome…" He said as he attempted to stop the bleeding on his wounds, "... Not to mention Tadano, one of the best has been captured… What a predicament we're in." He put his hands together, his fingers now stained with his own blood, "... If that weren't enough everyone of you looks almost uninjured… Kids these days are amazing. They make the League of Villains look bad."

"If you think you're screwed than why do you sound so calm about it?" Reina couldn't help but ask as she leaned against Izuku.

Shigaraki merely chuckled, "Oh Rei-chan… Even with your memory gone you haven't changed one bit… Nomu."

Nomu flinched when his name had been called; He sank into the warp gate and got himself out. They saw half of his body broke due to the ice but still he moved which horrified them. "How can he still be moving!?" Izuku exclaimed.

"What kind of a beast is that!?" Floyd yelled.

The ice suddenly broke and within mere seconds he grew a new arm and leg, making everyone jump."WHAT THE--!?" Floyd and Gio exclaimed.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE HAD A SHOCK ABSORPTION QUIRK!" Reina yelled at Shigaraki.

"I did say so." Shigaraki replied calmly, "But I never said that was ALL he had."

Tadano saw an opening as Katsuki looked at Nomu. He grabbed a hold of his fallen weapon and hit Katsuki across the face, making him stumble and giving him time to stand.

"BASTARD!" Katsuki yelled before he went to charge. As Tadano stood himself up he pressed on his wrist device. The moment he did, Katsuki heard screams coming from Reina as she fell to the floor, nearly dragging Izuku along with her; Katsuki stopped in his tracks at this.

"REINA-CHAN!" Izuku exclaimed, before he went to get the collar off of her even after the shocks stopped; it proved to be futile however.

"Do you really want to try that again boy?" Tadano said, making Katsuki turn to him, "As long as she has that collar on her, I can control her fate." Katsuki gritted his teeth at this as he prepared to go at him again.

"Don't do anything hasty now." Tadano said before typing what looked to be a series of combinations before he hovered over what looked to be a silver button. "If I activate this control, the syringes in her neck will inject a poison that will take effect and kill her in mere minutes."

Katsuki looked horrified at this, as he looked over to Reina, who looked just as scared as she was when those words came out of his mouth. Shigaraki however had a pissed off look at this that had been visible through his eyes.

"Do you think you can defeat me and save her before the poison takes effect? I assure you, it's a horrible way to—"

Before Tadano could finish he suddenly found Katsuki rocketing towards him, as he dodged his kick. He was a bit taken back when he saw that Katsuki had a smile on his face as he attacked.

"You wish to put your life in jeopardy then?" He said to him sounding surprisingly calm as he either dodged or blocked his punches and Quirk.

"I'm not worried about shit like that!" Katsuki said as he kept going at him, "As long as your finger doesn't touch that button, than she'll be fine, won't she!? I'll just keep going at you before you even make a move!"

"Bakugou-kun…" Reina said as Izuku helped her up again.

"Well..." Floyd said before turning to Kurogiri, "That's actually smart."

Shigaraki turned over to Floyd, "Nomu. Get our gate back."

Just like that, Nomu moved towards Floyd, giving him or anyone for that matter no time to react, as he went towards him. His eyes widened as he brought his fist down to him, causing an explosion, as he punched him across, making everyone nearly fall off their feet. Though this had given Katsuki the perfect opportunity to grab a hold of Tadano's device.

"Gotcha bitch!" He said still with a smile. He than activated his Quirk, destroying the device and making Tadano groan in agony as he pulled his arm away from him; the glow on the collar faded when the device was destroyed.

They soon turned their attention back over to where Floyd had been. When the smoke had cleared, they saw that the only ones there had been Nomu and Kurogiri, and they had assumed the worst for the young artist.

"Floyd-san!" Izuku yelled.

"Wassup?"

The group turned and jumped at the sight of Floyd who had been standing on the ground. "Floyd-kun!?" Reina exclaimed, "How did you get here!?"

"Don't you tell me you managed to dodge that Aihara-san!?" Chouko said.

"Dude, that's amazing!" Gio said in awe.

"Uh guys…." Floyd said as he stood up, "... That wasn't me."

"What?" Eijirou said, "You didn't dodge it…?"

"But then how did…" Shoto said looking over to where the trail of smoke had been,

Izuku's eyes widened in shock and realization, "Wait… Don't tell me it was…"

When the smoke cleared they were surprised as ever when they saw that All Might was the one that took Floyd's place as he caught his breath.

"All Might!" They all exclaimed, when they saw him almost fall to his knees and blood drip from his mouth. All Might looked over to Shigaraki as he had an amused look on his face.

"Do you not know how to hold back?" He said, "You could've killed him!"

"It was to rescue one of my companions." Shigaraki stated calmly, "I had no choice." He soon pointed over to Izuku, "Besides, that plain looking one there… He was about to punch me with everything he had you know. Even Rei-chan came at me, like she was going to kill me to save Eraser, but… I'll let it slide, since in my defense I didn't know it had been her and she doesn't know me thanks to that damn bitch. Violence for the sake of others makes it admirable, Isn't that right, Hero?"

All Might couldn't respond as he looked to the ground, which amused Shigaraki all the more. He continued, "You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent acts as heroic and villainous acts, deciding what's good and what's bad. The Symbol of Peace?" He laughed at this, "You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds more violence. The world will know this once we kill you!"

All Might took in his words but had a certain thought come to mind, "That's preposterous. The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You just want to enjoy this yourself… Aren't you liar?"

They saw that Shigaraki's eyes narrowed, as he had smiled under his mask, "He's figured me out already?"

"What is with this creep?" Floyd said as he couldn't help but shudder.

"I have no idea." Reina said as she shievred herself, before groaning from her wounds; she would've collapsed onto the floor had it not been for Izuku.

"Don't worry peeps, we can take him on!" Gio said.

"He's right." Shoto said, "There's ten of us against six."

Izuku nodded, "Thanks to Kaa-chan, we know the fog's weakness." He soon looked over to his best friend, "Reina-chan? Can you still fight?"

Reina nodded as she picked up her sword that had been nearby, though she staggered a little, removing herself from Izuku, "Of course I can."

Floyd drew himself a designed mallet which weighed 20 pounds as he took it and said "Hey! Don't leave me out of this!"

"These guys are crazy, but if we back up All Might--" Eijirou said as he activated his Quirk, "--We'll push them back."

Fubuki created another ice weapon from her Quirk as Chouko readied herself, "We're ready when you guys are." Chouko said.

"No!" All Might said to them, making the group turn to him, "Run back to the entrance. Take Young Nouki with you."

"Are you crazy man!?" Gio yelled, "Did you forget what just happened?"

"You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier right?" Shoto said.

"That was different, for that I thank you, young Todoroki." All Might said, "But it's fine now. Just get young Nouki as far away from here as you can."

"But you're in worse shape than me aren't you!?" Reina said, "You can't fight them with that wound!"

"She's right! You can't beat them like this!" Floyd said.

"Ye--yeah!" Izuku added, "Besides the times--!" He immediately stopped himself after one look from Reina and Floyd, since only the three of them knew his secret and not their fellow classmates. Though they All Might subtly give them a thumbs up as to reassure them before he turned back to his enemies.

"Kurogiri, Nomu. Get All Might." Shigaraki said, before he turned to Tadano as he got out his bayonet once more "Tadano handled the brats. I'll get Rei-chan."

"You don't want me to get her?" Tadano asked as he got rid of his device on his wrist, revealing that his arm had wires.

"No." Shigaraki said with a bit of anger in his voice, "I know how to subdue her. Let's just clear this and go home." With that the Villains dispersed, with Kurogiri and Nomu charging at All Might, Tadano going towards the group and Shigaraki going at Reina in particular.

"We gotta do this after all!" Eijirou said as he readied himself.

"They're really intent on taking me after all." Reina thought in her head as she noticed her hands started to shake, "Don't get cold feet now… You can do this! I hope…"

Reina went to ready herself with her sword but she almost fell to the floor again when she moved, which Katsuki seemed to have noticed as he stood in front of her.

"You really are a hopeless idiot, aren't you?" Katsuki said getting into his combat position, "You really think you're gonna handle yourself with those wounds?"

"Bakugou-kun!" Reina said as she tried to stand herself up, "You don't have to I'm--"

"I know what you're going to say, but if you finish that sentence you'll piss me off!" Katsuki yelled, cutting her off, "Just stay behind me, where it's safe Reina!"

Reina flinched slightly at the sound of her name, and she couldn't help but turn a little red at this as she almost put down her sword. Floyd noticed this as he readied himself, "He is gonna get it later." Is what he thought.

As everyone prepared to engage one another, it had been broken abruptly when Nomu and All Might charged at one another and both had thrown a punch at each other so powerful it had sent everyone flying, though many had managed to stay on their toes somehow despite the huge gust of wind.

"Damn, hey now." Shigaraki said, as he landed on the ground, "Did you forget that he has a shock absorption Quirk?"

"Of course I remember!" All Might said as he started to throw several punches, making it all the more harder when stronger gusts of wind formed from the mere force; Shoto protected his sister from the wind while Katsuki did the same with Reina, as he used his own body as a shield for her.

"A head on fist fight!?" Izuku exclaimed.

"Jesus Christ man, this is insane!" Floyd shouted, using his ink weapon as a weight to stop himself.

"Whoa Mama!" Gio exclaimed as he was nearly blown away.

"He's just attacking him head on!" Chouko said, retracting her wings to prevent herself from flying away.

"Holy crap!" Eijirou exclaimed as he stumbled.

Kurogiri and Tadano tried to get close towards them, but they couldn't due to the force. "I can't get near them!" Kurogiri exclaimed.

"I can hardly move!" Tadano said as his weapon flew out of his hands.

The winds got more and more intense as they tried to steady themselves. All Might's punches became more and more fierce by the minute.

"If your Quirk isn't shock nullification but shock absorption--!" All Might said as his punches became more fierce, "--Then there's a limit to it, right!?" Despite the USJ nearly crumbling, All Might kept on going and going even if Nomu managed to hit his wound several times.

"IF HE WAS GOING TO WITHSTAND ME AT 100%, THEN I'LL JUST FORCE HIM TO SURRENDER BEYOND THAT!!"

Soon enough, the attacks became so fierce, that they couldn't see their punches, until finally they saw that they made him fly across the ways of USJ. Despite this Nomu charged at him as All Might flew towards him, and they engaged once more, breaking more of the floor.

"HOLY HELL!!" Gio yelled as most of the group started to fly, "THIS IS LIKE A HURRICANE! BUT WAY WORSE!"

Floyd yelled through the wind, "NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!"

Finally they saw All Might grab a hold of Nomu's arm and he threw right to the floor, making another crater, though they saw that this time Nomu didn't even throw back a punch as All Might gave him no time to recover. "Hey Villain, have you ever heard these words?" All Might said as he clenched his fist, "Go beyond--PLUS ULTRA!!!"

With but a single punch they were taken back when Nomu had been sent flying out of USJ making the whole ground shake beneath them. A hole had been seen in the ceiling as they saw the sun high in the sky, since the clouds had been cleared away by Nomu. Thus there was silence as the wind blew as they were all speechless at this point.

"He…" Reina started to say, "... He did it… He actually did it…!"

"He most certainly did." Chouko said with a smile. Fubuki couldn't help but hug her brother as she had been relieved herself.

"HOORAY FOR ALL MIGHT!!" Gio cheered, raising his fist in the air.

"He just nullified his shock absorption Quirk…" Eijirou said, "That's like something out of a comic book…"

"His strength is super crazy…" Floyd said as he was speechless as well.

"What an insane power… Does this mean he rushed at him so fast he couldn't regenerate…?" Katsuki said, nearly forgetting that his body had been covering Reina, as to protect her. He registered this when his elbow accidentally hit her open wound on her arm making her whimper from the pain. "Shit! Shit!" Katsuki said scrambling off of her before he helped her up off the floor, "Are you okay?!"

"Ye--yeah… It still hurts but I'm alright…" Reina said as she looked at him, giving a smile, "Thank you…"

Katsuki suddenly felt his face flushed with red at her smile, as he let go of her when he saw that she could stand on her own, as he avoided her gaze, "Yo--you're welcome!"

Eijirou and Chouko both took notice of the way Katsuki had been acting, as they looked at one another and laughed. Floyd however--

"OI PISS FOR BRAINS! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO MAKE GOO-GOO EYES!" Floyd yelled.

"I WASN'T EVEN DOING THAT YOU INKHEADED BASTARD!" Katsuki shouted back as he glared.

"YOU WANNA FIGHT BRO, I'LL TAKE YOU ON RIGHT NOW!"

"BRING IT ON HALF-BREED!"

"And they're back…" Eijirou, and Chouko said casually.

"Really you two?" Gio said scratching his head, "Right now?"

"Can't you both let it go for now?" Shoto asked, as Fubuki couldn't help but giggle.

"THIS ASSHOLE STARTED IT!!" Floyd and Katsuki yelled at the same time.

Reina and Izuku soon looked at the smoke as it finally cleared, revealing that All Might had started to bleed as well, though he still had a smile on his face.

"I really have gotten weaker…" All Might said, "... In my prime, five hits would've been enough to take him out…" He stood turning to Izuku as he gave them a thumbs up, "... But it took more than 300 hits."

Reina laughed a little as Izuku had tears in his eyes. "You really are amazing…" Reina said as she had tears as well. As smoke started to emit from his body, though thanks to the smoke around him no one else noticed. All Might turned to Shigaraki, Tadano and Kurogiri.

"Now Villains…" He said, "... I'm sure we'd like to end this as soon as possible…"

Shigaraki's body shook with anger, as he started to scratch at his neck again. "He used a cheat!?" Reina soon saw more blood come from his neck as he scratched himself aggressively. For some reason Reina had looked worried to the ringleader.

"He's bleeding… Like before…" She thought to herself as she prevented herself from shaking, "... Doesn't he even notice…? Does he even care about it…? Why don't they stop him…?"

"What the hell is this?!" Shigaraki said, "What the hell is going on?! He's not weaker at all! Did he lie to me!?"

"What's wrong?" All Might said, "You're not coming at me? You said you'd clear this didn't you? Come and get me if you can!"

Shigaraki actually shrunk and his body started to tremble. "Looks like there's no need for us to fight now." Shoto said.

"We should get out of here right now!" Eijirou said, "It would be bad if one of us ended up as a hostage."

Though the group started to move, Reina, Izuku and Floyd stood there as their eyes widened with realization when they looked at All Might closely.

"He's bluffing…" The three of them thought in unison as they watched the smoke emit from his body. The three of them couldn't help but wonder what to do, as they saw that All Might's body shook; Tadano and Kurogiri seemed to have noticed this.

"Well what's wrong?" All Might said, "Are you going to attack or not?"

Shigaraki's scratches became more and more aggressive, making it bleed more, "If only I had Nomu…" He said, "... That guy would've been able to go up against him without thinking about anything! We could've killed him, and taken Rei-chan back without delay!"

"Tomura Shigaraki!" Kurogiri said, "Please calm yourself. We still have a chance."

"Look closely." Tadano whispered, "Nomu had affected him greatly. He was definitely weakened by his attacks." Shigaraki stopped scratching and noticed this too.

"Besides… The children seem to be frozen in fear." Kurogiri said, noticing that the group hadn't left yet, "We still have underlings who could still be used. There is likely only a few minutes left before reinforcements arrive. If the three of us work together we still have a chance to kill him and take the girl."

Shigaraki brought his hands away from his throat, after he had given it some thought, "Yeah… Yeah…" Shigaraki said, "That's right… That's right… We have no choice but to do it. I mean… We have the last boss right in front of our eyes…"

Shigaraki suddenly ran towards All Might, taking him by surprise as he still stood there. "Crap! He's coming at me!?" All Might thought in his head.

"THIS IS REVENGE FOR NOMU!" Shigaraki shouted as he charged.

"Jeez!" All Might exclaimed in his thoughts, "Holy shit!"

Kurogiri and Tadano soon followed Shigaraki's lead, with Tadano armed with his bayonet and Kurogiri opening another warp gate.

"Hurry!" All Might said in his thoughts, "Everyone! Hurry and go!"

Izuku had suddenly been seen flying towards them, Reina following posthaste with her sword floating and charging at them with her fists, and Floyd armed with his mallet. Reina felt a ring in her head as she felt her nose start to bleed. "My Quirk is able to work now, since the collar is off!!" Reina said in her head, "This hurts like hell but it's fine! I might get caught again but it's fine! This is the only way to save him!"

"We're the only ones that know the predicament he's in!" Izuku soon thought, as his legs were now broken, "This is the only way to help!"

"I wanna be like my parents! I wanna be a Hero!" Floyd thought, "But how can I be that, when I can't even save a life!"

"GET AWAY FROM ALL MIGHT!!" The three of them shouted simultaneously.

Shigaraki put his hand through Kurogiri so that his hand had been right in front of Izuku's. Tadano did the same as he put his bayonet through Kurogiri so that Floyd had been flying towards the blade. Reina on the other hand--

"KUROGIRI! NOW!"

Just as Reina was about to land on the floor, a warp gate opened up just where she was going to land, making Reina gasp at this. "SHIT!" Reina exclaimed as she realized she had no way to dodge it, since she had been out of time.

"SON OF A BITCH!" Floyd yelled.

"CRAP!!" Izuku exclaimed.

"REINA!!" Katsuki soon yelled as he used his Quirk to rocket himself towards her.

"BAKUGOU-SAN! WAIT!" Chouko yelled as she went after him.

"NO! YOU GUYS!" Eijirou yelled as he followed Chouko.

"FLOYD, NOUKI, MIDORIYA!!" Gio exclaimed.

Shigaraki laughed as his hand came closer and closer to Izuku's face; Reina was inches closer to the warp gate, with her foot nearly touching the purple void, just as Katsuki had reached out to her and Floyd was about to land right in Tadano's blade.

BANG!

A gunshot rang out, hitting Shigaraki's hand, and breaking Tadano's blade; Kurogiri had been taken back when he felt a bullet hit his collar, causing him to push back just as Shigaraki pulled his hand out.

Both Floyd and Izuku landed on the floor face first, and right when Reina was about to, she felt Katsuki pull her into him, protecting her from the impact making him grunt. The rest however stopped in their tracks as they couldn't help but wonder where the shot had come from. All Might however had a pretty good idea.

"Are they here?" All Might said still with a smile just as more shots were fired across the USJ.

What had followed soon after was a voice.

"Everyone! Sorry that we're late! I gathered all who were immediately available."

"Wait a minute!" Gio said, "Is that the Principal!?"

"I think it is…" Chouko said.

Everyone had turned to the stairs, just where the exit had been and they saw someone very familiar standing with the teachers that Nezu had managed to gather. It was Tenya Iida, Class 1-A's representative.

"I TENYA IIDA OF CLASS 1-A, HAVE RETURNED!!" Tenya yelled to his fellow classmates, making himself known.

All the students that had witnessed this looked relieved and most were in tears again at the sight. The Villains that regained consciousness proceeded to attack, fired from where they stood, or went to make their way up the stairs.

Present Mic soon stepped forward; With a deep breath he let out a piercing yell, making most of the Villains stop in their tracks or had caused them to fall to the ground, while they covered their ears.

The Hero known as Ectoplasm activated his Quirk, as he made clones from his mouth; several more of him appeared as they engaged the army of Villains. Shigaraki held his hand as he watched as explosions occurred.

"Aw man, they're here." Shigaraki said, "It's game over now." He soon turned over to Reina who had gotten up off the floor along with Katsuki, "Though at the very least I can still take Rei-chan with us." He went over to Reina as she noticed him coming towards her. She had a look of fear again, though Katsuki quickly got up and stood in front of her, making Shigaraki stop in his tracks.

"If you want her, you're gonna have to get through me." Katsuki said as he had a smirk on his face.

Shigaraki merely chuckled as he readied himself, "If you insi--"

He suddenly fell on the floor as bullets went right through his shoulder and leg making Katsuki jump and Reina's eyes widened. Kurogiri quickly went around Shigaraki making a shield around him and Tadano as the bullets went into the warp gate he had opened. Tadano quickly went to stop the bleeding on Shigaraki's new open wounds. "Kurogiri!" Tadano said, "Get us out of here!"

"Right!" Kurogiri said as he started to cover the warp gate over the two of them, but not before he felt something pulling him in.

"This is--!" He said.

It had been revealed to be Thirteen; with the help of Rikado and Hanta, he was able to open up a black hole as to suck Kurogiri in. That didn't stop Kurogiri from getting himself, Shigaraki and Tadano out of their predicament. "I may have failed this time…" Shigaraki said, "... But I will kill you next time… Symbol of Peace, All Might…"

His gaze looked to Reina as she shrinked at his gaze once more, "Rei-chan… Make no mistake… The next time I see you… I'll bring you back to where you belong!"

Thus, the three Villains had vanished, without a trace, leaving most relieved and speechless at what had just happened. Floyd couldn't help but hit his fist in the ground as Izuku's body shook.

"We let them get away…" Floyd said in sheer anger, "We let the three bastards get away!"

"In the end…" Izuku said, "... In the end… The three of us couldn't do anything…"

"That's not true." All Might said. Izuku and Floyd looked to the smoke, and saw All Might was halfway to his true form, "If it weren't for those few seconds you guys bought for me, I would've been killed."

Both Floyd and Izuku smiled, as Izuku himself started to cry, "All Might… Thank God… You're alright…"

Reina laughed to herself a little as she tried to stand, but couldn't as she fell to the ground again due to her wounds; Katsuki took notice as he went back to her side. "Damn it Reina, what did they do to you?"

"Bakugou-kun, I'm fine, thanks for—"

Reina let out a gasp when Katsuki threw his arms around her suddenly. Reina was about to say something but she felt his embrace tighten slightly. "That's bullshit." He merely stated in a hushed voice, "You've been shaking the whole time haven't you?"

Reina stammered a little as she broke out of his embrace, "N—No. Don't be ridiculous, I wasn't—"

"Stop." Katsuki said, "That's not true. What you're saying isn't true, and you know it." This time Reina couldn't find the words to say as she felt tears form again in her eyes; she didn't even try to hide them. "Relay on me, like I do for you…" Katsuki soon said.

That had been enough for her to break like a mirror.

She started to sob horrifically, as it drew the attention of her classmates and some of the other teachers that had arrived where they were. "I wasn't strong enough! I wasn't strong enough to save Shota! It's thanks to me that he's in that condition! I don't know if he'll make it! I don't know if he'll live! The one with the hands! The one leading them knew my name! He wanted to take me away! I didn't want that, but they were going to even if it meant I said no! They could've died, Shota could've died all because I wasn't strong enough! I didn't know what to do! I was SO terrified!"

Katsuki had heard enough of her words, as he pulled her back into the hug. He started to massage her back to ease her, as he brushed his fingers through her hair as he let her cry on his shoulder, not caring who has been staring.

"You're okay…" He said to her as gently as possible, "... I've got you. You're safe."
