'Wait...'

I look down and realise that...

'I'm free falling.'

------------------------------------------------------------------

In the observation room.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Precious few seconds left on the clock. One point. And yet, even though she had no time, she stuck her neck out for others' sake."

'Oh no. Dammit... Dammit... Dammit... I knew this was going to end badly. What do I do now?'

I look down, my eyes wide against the wind blowing in my face.

'Hold on. I've got All Might's power... I clobbered that thing like it was nothing. So landing shouldn't be a problem...'

I really need to get used to having this power.

I tried to shift my body mid air so I could manage a landing that won't kill me, but when my brain told my limbs to move I felt a huge wave of pain.

I kept my mouth shut, keeping in my pained screams. I looked back at my legs and then at the arm I used to punch that robot.

'They're broken. Is this what All Might meant by kickback? Damn, it hurts...'

I hold my broken arm to my chest with the one that was still ok.

'I knew I should've listened to my gut... I hope she is safe...'

My body was sweating like crazy as I tried to come up with a solution to land without dying.

'Think, damn it. I have only one good arm... What do I do? What do I do? What do I...'

Then it dawned on me.

'My right arm and both my legs are broken. But I've still got my left arm. If I time it just right, I can break my fall with a punch. But if I swing a second too early or a second too late, I'm done for. And I will probably break my left arm as well... I don't really have a choice, now, do I?'

I was rapidly approaching the ground. I pulled my left arm behind getting ready to punch.

'I need to time this perfectly or else...'

I took a deep breath as I was now only a few feet away from the hard cement. I was about to punch, but then someone slapped me.

Distracting me, I missed the little opening I had to punch. I closed my eyes preparing for the impact with the ground. But it never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see what happened only to wide them in shock.

'I am... floating... But how?'

I looked up from the ground to see the girl I was trying to save on a floating piece of metal.

'She sure looks tired, but she doesn't seem to be injured. Thank God...'

She put her fingers together and I heard her voice weak and shaky.

"Release."

And with that I collided with the ground. It still hurt and my broken limbs aren't helping my case, but it sure was better that going face first into the ground from that height and at that speed.
