Hero of Courage: Fulcrum

Chapter 34: Fulcrum Vs All For One

3rd POV:

All Might was taken off the battlefield by Gran Torino who was keeping him away. "GRAN TORINO LET ME GO! LET ME GO! HE'S CAN'T FIGHT HIM ALONE!" All Might tried to get up and go to Izuku but Gran Torino overpowered All Might easily. "STOP! I PROMISED HIM I WOULD STOP YOU FROM DOING THAT! YOU CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE CAN YOU?" Gran Torino shouted at him. This caused All Might and the others around to widen their eyes. The other heroes were scared... the symbol of peace could no longer fight and the cameras heard that statement. Everyone around the world was in fear... "Fulcrum has this... trust him. He is your protege after all who is as strong as you if not stronger." Gran Torino said and everyone's eyes widen once again. They all turned to where Fulcrum was standing at and slowly people started to chant his name. They were all chanting for Fulcrum to win. All For One just sneered at that chant.

"They expect you to win but we are more or less equal in power. The only reason All Might got that blow on me all those years ago was due to me lowering my guard after slaughter so many of you users." All For One said. They were too far for the cameras to pick up the talking since they weren't shouting it. Izuku just kept the smile on his face and took up his battle stance. "That may be but at least one of us is dying here All For One. This war that has gone on for so long will come to an end here and now. No more next generations. No more hiding in the dark. No more!" Izuku stated with determination in his voice. Both of them just watched each other as they stood there waiting for either side to move. Everyone went into silence as they also were waiting for movement. Izuku powered up to 100% and blasted off faster than most people could keep up and appeared right behind All For One who had started to turn around to defend. However, Izuku uses float and rotated himself over All For One and their backs were to each other and Izuku's leg that was in the air above his head came flying down and landed right on All For One's back sending him flying into a building. Everyone started to cheer for Fulcrum as the battle heated up. 

Izuku and All For One kept the battle up. Izuku also tried to keep him away from any of the other heroes or civilians. One to ensure he doesn't take their quirks to use them against him nor for All For One to hold them as a threat against Izuku. All For One though did get some lucky hits in on Izuku who have been dodging a lot of the attacks due to his floating fighting style. One of the lucky hits had sent Izuku up and into a building where All For One procured to blast the entire building exploding it. This caused rubble to go flying across the air and had people scrambling to get to cover or doge them. Izuku came flying out of the destroyed building with some cuts and blood on him but overall he pushed through the attack. "I MUST ADMIT YOU LASTED LONGER THAN ANYONE IN THE PAST!" All For One stated. Izuku just smirked and started to talk. "Now don't tell me you are getting tired in your old age All For One?" Izuku stated. That annoyed All For One a bit since he was having to put in a lot of effort to deal with Fulcrum, the current holder of One For All. 

Those back in the dorms at UA have been watching the entire fight. They had ups and downs the entire fight. They were thrilled and celebrating when All Might had punched and 'ended' the fight until they learned that the fight wasn't over. They were shocked when their senpai threw All Might away and took the blow instead and now they have been watching eh fight go on for so long. Some of the students were complaining about why the other heroes weren't getting involved. Aizawa shot that down quickly. "Do remember what All For One did to All Might. None of those heroes working together could really touch All Might. What do you think they can do against this villain... if Izuku fails then Japan will fall into a state of chaos and be engaged in a war of attraction that we will likely lose. That is how dangerous this villain is... the fate of all Japan lays on Izuku's shoulders and he knows that." Aizawa stated with a serious tone. He hasn't taken his eyes off the screen the entire time the fight started... he was worried... he felt dread in regards to Izuku's last words to him. 'Don't tell me you are planning to die there Izuku!?' Aizawa's thoughts came to a halt when he made the connection. 'DAMMIT IZUKU! YOU WERE SAYING YOUR FINAL GOODBYES WEREN'T YOU! YOU HAD PLANNED TO DIE!' Aizawa yelled in his mind as tears fell from his face. None of the students made a comment about it. They all knew how attached their teacher was to their Senpai. They themselves were all worried about Izuku as well and could only pray for his success.
