"You must walk across plains of fire.. swim across seas of ice, run through dessert storms, and then finally.. Finally.. you will fulfill your destiny" All Might said.
"But i'm 15 YEARS OLD!" Midoriya cried.
"NOT ACTUALLY KID! METAPHORICALLY!"

The Princess had given them supplies for their journey to Overhaul's castle.
Overhaul's castle was located in the dark forest. It'd take them half an hour to get to it from the Creatorian castle. Princess Momo treated them to feast for dinner.
The Creatorian royal family was notorious for their vast weapons, so the group got upgrades. Iida and Todoroki's swords were replaced with sharper, and longer ones like the ones honored guards used in the castle. Bakugo's sword, or scimitar that he stole was sharpened since he didn't want it replaced. Kirishima found daggers and asked to use them (which was very concerning considering the fact he was waving them around everyone he saw). Deku's sword remained unchanged.
So after a great dinner, the group was walking through the Deep Dark Forest to get to the dark castle. Todoroki, determined to fulfill his fiancee's request, (and to avoid his father for as long as possible), led the way.
Deku, Uraraka, and Iida were walking closely behind him, while Bakugo and Kirishima lingered in the back.
"I'm a little nervous about this though," Uraraka said.
Deku turned to her, "Nervous about what Uraraka?"
"Well...Overhaul! The princess said the sorcerer was a level 19. That's considered to be really powerful in the magic world!"
"Well i think we can still do this," Todoroki said, turning his head to her as they walked, "Though fake, the soldiers today were threatening, we defeated him. Overhaul is one person."
"All for One is one person as well," Iida said, "yet he's able to cause this much destruction! I don't think we should underestimate this 'Overhaul' to the slightest..."
"I think we'll be fine!" Deku exclaimed, "We fought Stain and a tons of All for One's soldiers! If we've gone through this much, Overhaul will be a piece of cake!"
"I guess you're right," Uraraka said. She looked more relaxed now that Deku put her worries to rest.
"Erm, Midoriya...?" Iida asked, "I've noticed something about you,"
"Hm? What is it Iida?" Deku asked.
"Well, when we were fighting Stain you called for peace! But when we fought in the cave, you offered no such option. Right now you seem set on defeating this man. Why is that?"
"Well uh..." Deku mumbled nervously, "...analyzing the situation, i could tell we wouldn't be able to beat him. Plus he seemed like a very dormant villain other than the situation with your brother. But those guards charged straight at us, like we weren't even human! Plus Overhaul's obviously affected more than a few people."
Deku thought of Tsu when he said this. He remembered when she cried about her troubles, and how he promised to break her curse.
"I promised Tsu that we're gonna help her, so that's what i'm gonna do! I promised you Iida that we'd break your brother's curse, so we're gonna defeat All for One to do that! I wanna save as many people as I can! So I'm pushing on on this quest to do that!"
