Chapter 6. It's Your Burden Now
Nighteye had his hand pressed against his forehead trying to stop the bleeding from All For Ones last attack, it completely destroyed the area they were in, nothing, not even a tree was left standing after that attack.
"Torino how are you doing?" Said Nighteye looking at him.
Gran Torino wasn't much better, his arm and leg were broken along with four ribs, his breathing was getting labored and yet he was still standing "gonna take a lot more than that to kill me, besides I ain't gonna die till I see the ninth take that idiots place".
A massive concussive blast went through the area and it almost blew both of them back from the battle the two titans were having.
Once the smoke cleared Nighteye gasped at what he saw "oh my god.. I can see through All Might".
Over with All Might he was kneeled down on the ground holding his side trying to keep his insides in him while also slowing down the blood, he looked up at All For One and saw the wounds he gave him heal like they were nothing.
"Oh my All Might you don't seem so whole or mighty? Tell me are you eating enough" said All For One with a dark grin on his face.
"Oh I'm eating just fine.. and I'll be doing a lot better once your finished" said All Might.
"Hahahaha that's quite funny, you heroes aren't meant to kill unless giving special permission, not only that but your hero association wants me captured" said All For One.
All Might gritted his teeth and stood up ignoring the pain "it's true but... I can't let you continue to exist anymore... It doesn't matter.. after this day you will be nothing more than a memory".
Both men stared at each other ready to finally finish this battle, All Might started to gather all his strength into her s right arm and the muscle expanded along with a rainbow of colors seeming to glow around him with yellow being the most prominent.
All for one send a multitude of quirks to his right arm to increase it's strength.
Both titans then charged at each other creating massive dust clouds behind them from the speed they shot off at.
A massive explosion and sound wave shook the entire area, it was so powerful that it set off nearby earthquake sensors showing a level 3 earthquake was going off.
"Do you think he got him?" Said Gran Torino wiping the dirt from his eyes.
Nighteye squinted his eyes but then smiled at what he could see, the top of All For Ones head was gone. But then the horror revealed itself, his arm went right through the center of All Might's chest barely missing the heart but completely severing and destroying the spine. Both of them staggered and fell back.
"TOSHINORI!!" Yelled Torino as him and Nighteye sprinted towards him, as they continued to run a purple and black portal opened up and All For One was taken away before them "DAMNIT HE ESCAPED!!".
"Toshinori stay with me!" Yelled Nighteye as he tried to find something to stop the bleeding in his chest.
"N-no.. I...it's to late..." Wheezed out All Might as his eyes started to get heavy and breathing became more labored "sensei... Mirai.. help Aizawa become a even greater symbol than I was... Help him become a hero that he's meant to be...".
"NO! All Might you'll make it just stay with me!!" Yelled Nighteye desperately trying to save his friends life.
Torino sucked in his teeth and forced the tears down.. he couldn't save his best friend and now he couldn't save his student.
"You know I won't.. Nighteye.. sensei... Promise me you'll train young Aizawa to be a great hero.. he's the one me and One For All chose.." said All Might with his breathing getting slower and his eyes started to become more and more glazed.
"I.. I promise... I'll train the boy to the point he could kick your ass blindfolded.." said Torino.
"I'll help him all I can..." Said Nighteye.
"Thank you..... It's now your turn ninth... Please...... Bring our world......... To a..... Better place... And... Make sure... They can all...... Smile..." All Might then slumped over and had a small genuine smile on his face as he took his final breath.
Torino let out a couple of tears before he reached over and closed All Might's eyes to make him look at peace.
"W-what do we do now?" Said Nighteye.
"We bury him.... Then we train that kid to take up his mantle and this time.... We won't fail" said Torino with a hardened glare on his face.

"My my master look what All Might did to you.. the upper part of your head is gone from above your mouth and up, yet your still alive thanks to that quirk you stole years ago which allowed you to transfer everything from your brain to your brain stem" said Garaki as he put on his medical gloves. "But don't worry master I'll do everything I can to heal you, though this will be extremely painful" he then took a medical power saw and began cutting away at all the dead or dying tissue on his master's head.
Meanwhile off in the corner of the room stood Shigaraki with a look of complete horror and rage, he clenched his fists so tight they bled before he began to scratch his neck "they will pay... Every single hero... Will die by my hands!".

It was the next day and Izuku was in class after over a week of absence, though the teachers weren't to happy about it so they still made him have to do all his missed school work and he only had until Wednesday to finish it.
Near him were Rumi and Ryuko, they were both doing 'their' own schoolwork. That was what they told the teacher, In reality both of them are working on some of Izuku's schoolwork to help finish all the class assignments in two days.
Up in the front of the class the teacher has a projector on showing a documentary on how people are getting quirks and how the ones without them are becoming obsolete and soon won't even exist.
Everyone in the room knew this documentary was specifically chosen because they have Izuku in class and the teacher wants to remind him that he's obsolete.
"And as you see here when a kid has a quirk they loose this extra joint in the pinkie toe, while the ones that are quirkless have this extra joint, because of this it is easier for us to see who is defective or will be great people in the future" said the man on the documentary who was known as a major quirk supremacist supporter.
The documentary was extremely controversial and most countries banned them or made it very hard to get. Japan along with a bunch of others didn't and some countries who saw quirkless people as second class citizens made it mandatory for schools to show this.
It went on for a couple more seconds before the screen changed to the national alert screen, they all heard a loud beep then it changed again showing a middle-aged woman with a stoical and steely expression, possessing a set of turqoise eyes and ash blonde hair that is slicked back. She wears a black suit jacket and dress along with a purple shirt and a necklace. She was the president of the Public Safety Commission.
"Hello people of Japan and the rest of the world, I have sad news for everyone, All Might the symbol of peace is dead" she said with a cold uncaring tone.
Everyone in the class along with everyone in Japan or the world froze upon hearing this, the number one hero in the world and Japan is dead!.
Izuku froze when hearing this and he looked up with wide eyes, it was literally two days ago he met All Might and he told him he was going to be his successor.
Rumi and Ryuko looked at Izuku with concern since they knew how much he looked up to All Might, not only that but he was his successor but now All Might was dead, what does this mean now?.
The class was still left in shock still, some of them actually began to cry not believing that All Might was actually dead.
"He died from a heart attack last night in his sleep peacefully" said the PSC president.
"Giving his death Endeavor is now the number one hero of Japan and we shall be doing a new top ten nomination for our heroes, also in one week from now our country shall be holding a public funeral for him for all his fans to mourn his loss".
The screen then went black before it went to commerical.
The teacher fell into his chair still trying to wrap his head around everything.
His phone then started to ring and he picked it up and after a couple seconds he said something quietly before he hung up.
"Aizawa get out, your father is here for your quirkless ass and also bring those two creatures with you" he said gesturing to Rumi and Ryuko, he didn't really care that he was now openly insulting them at all.
Izuku didn't say anything and just packed up his stuff and left with Rumi and Ryuko right behind him, they started to walk down the halls but once they were in a spot where no one would hear them Ryuko reached out and grabbed Izuku's shoulder.
"Izuku.. how are you feeling?" She asked gently.
"I... I don't know.. why does it seem like my life just keeps getting harder.. I was bullied ever since I was four years old then years later my mom died and now... My soon to be mentor is dead..." Said Izuku as his long hair shadowed his face from both of them.
Both girls looked at him with concern and they both pulled him into a hug "I know it sucks but... We'll get through this.. just like heroes we have to push through the hardships to become stronger" said Rumi.
"Rumi is right, all we can do now is push ourselves harder to make sure no one has to go through what we are going through" said Ryuko.
Izuku nodded his head and hugged them back before they all continued to head to the exit, but as they did they seemed to be walking even closer together.
___
They were all brought to UA and we're sitting in Nezu's office, Infront of the kids were a heavily bandaged Gran Torino and Nighteye, both heroes were looking at Izuku with calculating eyes.
"So... All Might is really dead.." said Izuku.
"Yes... He sacrificed his life to try and end a monster of unspeakable proportions, yet even in the end he escaped, but this time he was seriously Injured.. but knowing that monster he's still alive and is now in hiding and licking his wounds and gathering his strength" said Nighteye.
"So.. what now...?" Asked Izuku.
"Now.. now we train you, we make you strong enough that if that monster comes back he won't even stand a chance. It will be extremely painful training as we train you to your absolute physical limit to make you strong enough" said Gran Torino.
"What about Rumi and Ryuko?".
"They will join you in this training, though their training will be different from yours giving we are gonna train you to be a perfect combination of strength and speed along with being flexible enough that you can do more" said Gran Torino.
"I agree with what he says, your body isn't built to be all strength like All Might" said Aizawa.
"For Usagiyama I'd say have her train herself to have something close to my fighting style which is mainly based off fast movements and coming in at unpredictable areas of attack" said Gran Torino. "Though giving her quirk she might end up being better than me, you should train yourself to move fast and hit hard relying on your legs.
Now for you Tatsuma... I'd say train yourself to grapple and overpower your enemy, use your immense strength and size when your in your dragon form to beat them".
Both girls nodded, they agreed with what he said, given their quirks it would make the most sense to find a fighting style that worked with instead of against it.
"Now listen kid... I'm not going to sugar coat this... Also since that monster is still alive and All Might is dead we are gonna have to train you even harder than we originally intended" said Torino.
"It's true, we'll have to train you to your breaking point and past it, the world lost it's number one hero and because we think All For One is still alive we're going to need to get you as strong as fast as possible" said Nighteye.
"But how will I get the quirk? If All Might is dead he can't pass it on" said Izuku looking at him.
"Before All Might left your house that day he gave your dad one of his hairs which has One For All in it, once you get older and stronger than you'll be giving it so you will have the quirk" said Nighteye.
Izuku nodded his head and ran his hand through his long white and black hair in thought, he then looked at his dad who nodded his head.
"Alright... But I don't think it would be good for me, Rumi and Ryuko to stay at the school we are in, we are openly bullied and mocked just for existing or our quirks and lack of one" said Izuku.
"Oh" said Nezu as a grin formed on his face "Tsukauchi just finished going through your middle school, I guess I can have him go for this school now, then we can shut both down at the same time".
Everyone in the room didn't know if it was a good thing or bad thing that Nezu seemed to be involved in this quite heavily.
"Izuku... What has this school been doing to you and them.. and why didn't you tell me?" Said Aizawa looking at his son.
"They bully us, sometimes physically, they mock us and try and run us down into the ground like we are nothing more than trash, the teachers try their hardest to make our lives horrible all because I don't have a quirk and they have mutation quirks" said Izuku. "For the reason why I didn't tell you anything was for the same I didn't tell you at my other school... The teachers hide the evidence and would make it next to impossible to prove the truth, plus they all hate us so no one will snitch".
Aizawa looked down and clenched his fists, it seemed that no matter how hard he tried he couldn't make his son's life a good one, it was all because of that stupid test and because school force you to admit what your quirk is to all the staff and your class.
"Well in that case I'll take them in and have them learn here at UA" said Nezu getting looks of shock from everyone.
"Nezu how you do plan to do that? We are a highschool and not a junior high" said Aizawa.
"Oh quite simple, have the staff teach them during free time" said Nezu.
"Of course he would have us teach them during our free time" thought Aizawa.
"Now that this is decided, why don't we let the three kids go and do whatever they wish, after today's events I believe they deserve to have some time to themselves" said Nezu.
The others nodded and Izuku, Rumi and Ryuko left Nezu's office and we're heading to the exit of UA.
"So.. what would you two wanna do now?" Said Izuku looking at them.
"Actually um... M-my mom would like to meet you.. she's seen you a couple times but she would like to talk to you" said Rumi as she played with her hair.
"Sure, you ok with it Ryuko?" Said Izuku looking at her.
"Mhm, it's been a little while since I've seen Mito so it'll be nice" said Ryuko.
And so they all left heading to Rumi's house.
"I promise you All Might I will become an even greater hero than you and I will avenge your death" thought Izuku.
