Tori, narrating: "All of us, even our teachers, were scared. The evil we faced clouded our hearts with fear. But the deeper the darkness around you... the brighter the light shines"

All Might says, "I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone wrong here when Aizawa and Thirteen didn't answer my calls. So, I hurried over, running into Young Iida along the way. He told me of the villainy at work here," then he grimly thought, "I can't believe all of this went down while I was resting. I hate to think of how frightened these children must be. And how hard my colleagues had to fight in order to protect them. The only thing I can do now is reassure them that things will be okay. That's my duty as the Symbol of Peace."

Then All Might announces, "Have no fear, students... Because I am here!"

Tori looks up and thinks, "He is not smiling," as she was holding onto her teacher.

"After all this waiting. The heroic piece of trash shows up," says Shigaraki.

Then one of the villains around her comment, "Holy crap! It's All Might!"

Then another says, "I've never seen the guy in person before."

The one with big horns says "I didn't expect him to be so huge!"

Then a villain with one eye says, "This is not time to talk you idiots! If we strike now, we can ki-" he was interrupted by blur.

They were all taken down quickly by All Might as they were all groaning pain, then he quickly picks up both Tori and Aizawa and moves them away.

"I'm sorry Aizawa, I should've been here," he says to Shota, then he looks at Tori, "Are you all right," and she nods. Then he rushed off with the two in arms to the other students that were on the shores and he quickly picked them up too, while punching Shigaraki too.

"What the heck..." commented Mineta.

"Everybody back to the entrance and take Aizawa with you, he doesn't have much time," orders All Might.

"Yes sir!" says Mineta while Asui ribbits.

"You saved us All Might," says Izuku in awe.

Meanwhile Shigaraki was throwing a tantrum, "No, no, no, it wasn't supposed to go this way," then he picks up the hand that fell off from his face, "He's still fast father, somehow he managed to hit me."

He puts the hand back on and then comments, "Of course the government hero relies on violence, I wasn't prepared, I couldn't even see him when he moved," then another he confirmed with a sinister smile, "But he's not as fast as I thought he would be. Not as fast as he used to be. I guess it's true after all. All Might really is getting weaker."

Back with All Might and his students, Izuku and Tori picked up Aizawa by his arms while Minoru picked up his broken legs.

"All Might you can't, that brain villain took One for-" he stops as Tori lightly taps on his shoulder with her wings and she slightly glared at him, he then says, "I smashed him and didn't break my arm this time, but he wasn't fazed at all. He's too strong!"

"Young Midoriya!" All Might turns to him and does a peace sign, "I got this!"

"You should trust All Might with this," says Tori quietly. Then the four students walked away with Aizawa in their care.

All Might rushes at Shigaraki with his arms crossed, "Carolina..."

"Nomu," and the brain villain is suddenly in front of the ringleader and takes the hit.

"Guess he wasn't wrong when he said it had no effect on you," comment All Might then he punches Nomu again, "Let's try this."

The Nomu screeches, unfazed by All Might's hits, "Doesn't even matter where I punch you, does it?" the hero questions.

Shigaraki answers, "That's because Nomu here has shock absorption, All Might. The only way you're going to hurt him is to slowly gouge out his flesh. Of course, I don't think he'll sit back and let you do that. You've finally met your match."

"Ha! Thanks for telling me how to beat him! All I have to do is wear him down, and then it's on to you!" says All Might as he slams Nomu down, both of them covered by dust and rubble.

"Hey, hey now..." says Shigaraki lowly. Everyone else who were at the top watching the fight were cheering on their teacher.

Meanwhile with the four, "It might be possible that, that thing is the weapon, but even if it is there's not really anything we can do to help him now. If we tried to, we'd risk getting taken hostage," thought Tori, "I just hope Midoriya doesn't do anything rash, knowing that we both know All Might's secret."

Minoru cheered, as they were all walking up the stairs, "Get that guy! Punch him right in the balls!" then he comments, "Maybe we were worried about these bad guys for nothing. All Might's unstoppable."

Meanwhile Izuku was thinking grimly about All Might's secret, knowing that he's running out time.

Once the dust has cleared, they see the sight of All Might trying to get Nomu into the ground, yet the thing's claws were digging into his sides, making him bleed.

"Oh, come on. What kind of cheap move was that?" asks All Might.

Shigaraki brags a bit, "Nice. You were trying to bury him in the concrete so he couldn't move around anymore. Sorry, that won't work. Nomu's as strong as you are. That won't stop him."

He then laughs like a child, "Nice work, Kurogiri. We've got him just where we want him now."

Then Nomu digs one of its claws into All Might's weak point, and he thinks, "Crap! This monster found my weak spot! Damn. Gotta stop him, despite his power."

He then out loud comments, "If this is your best, then you picked the wrong place to attack. You should just give up now."

"Kurogiri," orders Shigaraki.

"Normally I wouldn't want blood and viscera flooding the insides of my warp gates, but I'll make an exception for a hero as great as you," says Kurogiri as warps himself between Nomu and All Might.

He then says, "Since you're too fast to see with the human eye, Nomu had to restrain you. And once he's pulled your body halfway through. I'll squeeze the gate shut. I'm going to enjoy tearing you to pieces."

Back at the stairs, Izuku turns to Tsuyu, "Asui."

Tsuyu turns to Izuku and asks, "Yeah, what is it, Midoriya?"

"Will you carry Mr. Aizawa for me?" he asks.

"Ribbit? Sure, but what're you gonna do?" she answers. He hands Aizawa to her and he runs back down the stairs.

"Are you insane?!" shouted Tori, then she looks at Tsuyu, "Can you hold him for me too?"

"You're gonna go down there too?" asks Tsuyu.

Tori nods and says, "I'm just going to make sure that the idiot doesn't damage himself any further."

She then lets Tsuyu carry Aizawa fully and she flies down the stair, following Izuku.

"Are they crazy?!" screams Minoru.

Izuku screams, "I'm coming!" while Tori yells, "This was one of the worst ideas you've ever had Midoriya!"

"Midoriya, Tsubasa, no. What do you think you're doing?" thinks All Might seeing the two coming to him.

"How foolish," comments Kurogiri and attempts to attack the two.

Then they hear a voice coming from behind, "Get the hell outta my way, Deku, Feathers!" Tori turned to see Katsuki attacking the fog villain.

Then ice formed on the Nomu, trapping it. "He's frozen! That means Todoroki must be here!" thought All Might.

"One of your poorly trained thugs told me you're here because you think you can kill All Might," comments Shoto.

Tori thinks, "Impressive, he managed to only cover the Nomu in ice and made sure it wouldn't reach All Might."

All Might pries the Nomu's hands away from his sides and jumps away, but he holds his bloody side.

Izuku asks "Are you okay?"

Then Ejiro runs up in an attempt to take down Shigaraki, but the villain simply backs away, "Damn! That was gonna be cool!" says Ejiro in frustration.

"Guess I found your body that time, ya smoky bastard!" says Katsuki smugly.

The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by delinquents like you," says Shoto.

"Kacchan! Everyone!" says Izuku, slightly tearing up.

"Looks like we have the right back up," grins Tori, looking around her, knowing that they have surrounded the ringleader.

Now with Asui and Minoru, the purple haired comments, "Todoroki... and Bakugo..."

"And Kirishima too..." adds Asui, then they both look at Aizawa, knowing he is running out of time, "Let them handle it, we need to hurry."

"Ok," agrees Minoru.

Back at the stairs, Ochaco looked at the scene and says, "They're helping," then she looks down and questions, "Wait, Is that Tsu down there? Hey! We're all up here!"

"It's Ochaco," comments Tsu.

Minoru asks, "Hey! Can you come help us out? He's super heavy and bleeding all over the place!" Ochaco and Sato gasp, "Mr. Aizawa!" then Sato says, "Come on!"

Then they hear Thirteen, "Don't worry. All Might will take care of this. When the other teachers get here, it'll get dangerous, so find someplace to hide."

Mina was the only one to say, "Uh, ok!"

Back at the Plaza, there was a stand-off.

"Kurogiri. How could you let this brat get the best of you? You've gotten us into a real jam here," says Tomura irritated.

Katsuki comments, "Heh. You got careless, you dumb villain," then he explains, "It wasn't hard to figure you out. Only certain parts of you turn into that smoking warp gate. You used that mist to hide your actual body, as a kind of distraction. Thinking that made you safe! That's why we missed." Remembering back at the beginning of the attack, "But if you didn't have a body, you wouldn't be wearing this neck armor, right? You're not immune to physical attacks if they're well aimed."

The fog villain tries to move and free himself, only for the blonde boy to set off a small explosion as a warning, "Don't move! You try anything funny, and I'll blow your ass up right now, you got it? They'll be cleanin' you up for weeks," threatens Katsuki.

"Oh, that doesn't sound very heroic," teases Ejiro cheekily.

"Couldn't agree more," says Tori while sweat dropping.

"They escaped uninjured and captured my two strongest men. Kids these days really are amazing. They make the League of Villains look like amateurs. Can't have that," says Shigaraki, with a bit of irritation.

Then he looks at Nomu and commands it, "Nomu," and it breaks free from All Might's hold and Shoto's icy prison by twisting its body. It was grotesque as it has torn off its arms. Everyone's eyes widen at the sight.

"How is that thing still moving? He's all messed up," questions Izuku.

"Stay back everybody!" orders All Might. Then the Nomu's arm is growing back, All Might asks, "What is this?! I thought you said his power was shock absorption?"

"I didn't say it was his only quirk. He also has super regeneration," answers Shigaraki, then proclaims, "Nomu has been modified to take you on, even at 100 percent of your power. He's basically a highly efficient punching bag that hits back."

"First, we need to free our method of escape," says Shigaraki.

Tori and the others realize what he meant, just as the leader orders, "Get him, Nomu," and the thing dashes, she also takes off at Katsuki's direction, in an attempt to get him out of the way.

"He's fast!" thinks Tori, at the same time All Might had the same thought.

Nomu throws a hard punch at whoever was in front of him, whoever it was, they were knocked back a great distance. Everyone was blown away from the force.

"Such force..." comments Izuku, then he looks up and in fear he does not see his classmate, "Kacchan!"

However, he was fine, they turned and they him wrapped in Tori's wings.

"Kacchan? Woah that's awesome you managed to get him away from danger so fast!" praises Izuku when he sees Tori.

"Shut up, no she didn't you damn nerd," says Katsuki.

"He's right..." agrees Tori as she gets up, "I only was fast enough to try to block the attack."

"Then how did you both get over here?" asks Ejiro confused.

Then they looked at the wrecage, realizing what happened, Shoto says, "Isn't it obvious."

All Might was standing there, with his arms crossed, he was panting and coughing.

"So, he protected the children, huh?" thinks Shigaraki.

"These are kids and you didn't hold back?!" questions All Might, enraged.

"I didn't have much choice," answers Shigaraki, "He was threatening my companion. Besides these kids are no angels. The plain looking one, he tried to kill me with a maxed-out punch," Katsuki and Tori look at him, "What kind of hero does something like that?"

"You think you can get away with being as violent as you want if you say it's for the sake of others. Well, you know what, All Might. That pisses me off. Why do people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic, and others are villainous? Casting judgment as to what's 'good' and what's 'evil.' You think you're the Symbol of Peace? Ha. You're just another government‐sponsored instrument of violence. And violence always breeds more violence. I'll make sure the world understands that once you're dead," says Shigaraki his speech.

"Quite the speech he has..." thinks Tori.

"You're nothing but a lunatic. Criminals like you; you always try and make your actions sound noble. But admit it; you're only doing this because you like it. Isn't that right?" demanded All Might.

"He's got me figured out," thinks Shigaraki.

"We've got them outnumbered," says Shoto.

"And Kacchan found the mist guy's weakness," agreed Izuku.

"We have to be careful though, we can't risk on getting caught by any of them," advised Tori.

"These dudes may act really tough, but we can take 'em down now with All Might's help," says Ejiro, then he hardens his arms, "Let's do this."

All Might held out his arm, stopping them, "Don't attack! Get out of here!" he ordered them.

"You would've been in trouble earlier if it weren't for me, remember? You need our help," denies Shoto.

"I thank you for your assistance, but this is different," All Might clenches his fist, "It's gonna be all right. Just sit back and watch a pro at work."

"But you're too hurt. You're bleeding. And you're almost out of ti‐‐" Izuku was interrupted by Tori, who was nudging her wing at him. They both see All Might giving them a thumbs up.

Shigaraki orders, "Nomu, Kurogiri, kill him. I'll deal with the children."

"I'm afraid that I barely have a minute left in this form. My power's declining faster than I thought it would," thinks All Might.

"Let's clear this level and go home," says Shigaraki, then he runs at the students.

"Even so, I have to stop these villains," thinks All Might

Ejiro gets into a fighting stance, "Heads up, we're fightin' after all."

"Because I am..."

"The world's Symbol of Peace and Justice!"

All Might rushes at the Nomu and it does the same. Their fists collide, creating a huge shockwave, blowing everyone back.

"Weren't you listening? One of his powers is shock absorption," says Shigaraki, confused.

"Yeah! What about it?" taunts All Might.

All Might and Nomu were now trading punches at a very fast rate. The shockwaves that were being produced were keeping everyone else away from the two.

"He's gonna fight that brain guy head on?" questions Izuku

"Looks like it, damn! I can't stay still!" says Tori, in frustration.

"Woah... They're so fast..." said Ejiro in awe.

"No! I can't get near them!" said Kurogiri as he tries to use his quirk.

"He said your Quirk was only shock absorption, not nullification. That means there's a limit to what you can take, right?" says All Might as he fights Nomu with everything he has, and he starts pushing it back.

"So, you were made to fight me, big guy. If you can really withstand me firing at 100% of my power... Then I'll have to go beyond that and force you to surrender!" says All Might as he was now overwhelming the Nomu.

"He's giving it his all even though he's injured!" thinks Izuku.

"Those aren't just random punches, either," thinks Tori.

"They're targeted, and every single one of them..." thought Izuku.

"Is more than 100% of his power!" thought Izuku and Tori.

Nomu gets overwhelmed and was sent flying across the Plaza.

All Might jumps to the villain, "A real hero..."

Nomu recovers and jumps back at All Might, forcing them to collide mid-air.

"... Will always find a way for justice to be served!" The two continuously threw punches at each other, but All Might got the upper hand and threw into the ground, creating another crater. The five students watched in astonishment.

All Might lands swiftly as the Nomu bounces back up from the ground.

Now for a lesson.

"You may have heard these words before, but I'll teach you what they really mean. Go beyond! Plus Ultra!" yells out All Might.

All Might charges one final smash and defeats the Nomu, sending it flying out of the plaza and through the roof.

In the Storm Zone, Fumikage and Koji are surprised as they were feeling a rumble.

"What's happening? Everything is shaking," wonders Fumikage.

In the Fire Zone, Mashirao looks up as he as also felt some sort of vibration.

"What was that?" questions Mashirao

Back at the Plaza, the force of All Might's punch was so powerful, that it sent the Nomu flying through the stratosphere.

Now at entrance of USJ, everyone else were watching in awe.

"Um, did a villain just fly by? Or am I goin' crazy?" asks Sero.

"It was that brain dude," comments Sato.

"Such power," says Shoji in awe.

"Ah... That's All Might for you. That's why he's the most amazing hero in the entire world!" says Minoru and Tsuyu ribbits.

Now back down at the Plaza, all five students were looking at the hole in the roof.

"That was like the finishing move in a video game. He beat the shock absorption right out of him. I've never seen that kind of brute strength!" says Ejiro in awe.

"Imagine having power like that," comments Katsuki, "He must've been punching that monster so fast, he couldn't regenerate."

"He really is the best," thinks Shoto.

"That's how you get to be a pro," thinks Katsuki.

"No way I can get that fast," thinks Tori.

"He did it..." thinks Izuku.

STOP OST HERE

"I really have gotten weaker. Back in my heyday, five hits would've been enough to knock that guy out. But today, it took more than 300 mighty blows," says All Might as he puts a fist on his chest.

However, there was now smoke emitting from All Might's body, "Time's up, gotta end this fast." thinks All Might.

The Number One then turns to the last two standing, "You've been bested, villains," then he adds, "Surrender, we all want to get this over with quickly."

"He cheated..." growled Shigaraki, as he was now angered.
