Ice, Fire, Love, Explosion: Season 2 | My Hero Academia

Chapter 7: The Story of How We All Became Heroes

3rd Person POV

Within the A.V. Room in the main U.A. Building, All Might, Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, and the U.A. staff were interrogating Aoyama and his parents...

All For One's puppets.

The three sat in chairs, their torsos, legs, and arms bounded by metal braces, their arms bound behind their backs.

"I got the gist." Tsukauchi said, a hand resting on the side of his neck, "He gave the boy a Quirk, and took control of the family."

As Tsukauchi continued to speak to the Principal, All Might bore an utterly pained expression, beyond upset one of his students and his family was manipulated by All for One. "The Quirk was granted about a decade ago? The fact that the kid's still sitting here in one piece tells us that he's not rigged to blow in case of betrayal the way Nagant was."

Bearing a solemn expression unrecognizable for the Principal, Nezu looked over his shoulder to the group standing behind the adults, "May I ask you children... to leave the room?"

Class 1-A all stood there in absolute shock, not able to comprehend what was going on. They had come rushing into the main building and up to the room when Midoriya texted Iida for everyone to meet him there... and that it was an emergency. Therefore, they still wore their hero costumes, some dressed in their full hero costume while some others weren't.

Mina was crying on Kyoka, her hands gripping her shoulder. Kyoka held her back with an arm on the girl's pink elbow, a sorrowful look in her onyx eyes. While some of the teens' eyes were drastically widened and their mouths agape, others stared at Aoyama in utter sorrow.

"No." Vanessa's voice filled the room, standing next to Todoroki who stared at Aoyama in absolute shock, his hand intertwined with hers very tightly; She felt her skin sting from the intense cold. Her face was pale as tears rapidly fell from her faded eyes. And what chilled the hurting students around her was how... dead her voice sounded. "You may not." "This makes no frickin' sense..." Sweat fell down Kaminari's cheeks, his eyes utterly confused... because he refused to believe it.

"What were you planning... if Hagakure hadn't caught you...?!" Ojiro terrifyingly asked, fear in his eyes. Toru, who stood next to him, gripped onto his shoulder as she silently cried.

"C'mon, Aoyama!!" Kirishima fired with desperate eyes, wanting more than anything for this to be just bullshit, just like the rest of his classmates, "Tell us it's all bull!!"

"Another one of us who started out Quirkless... Small world, huh...?" Bakugo softly said, his eyes full of sorrow glancing slightly downwards with a calm frown. He had his right arm wrapped around Miku's waist, holding her close to him. Meanwhile, she had her arms wrapped around his torso, her eyes drastically constricted in utter shock.

Aoyama listened to his classmates with tears streaming down his face, while Tsukauchi spoke up, "Sadly, we're still struggling to restore law and order... so you need to tell us every last thing you know about All for One."

"We... know nothing. He makes his requests and we obey... that's all." Aoyama's father hushed a reply, tears falling down from his utterly horrified eyes, "Should we fail? He'll kill us. If we lie to him... we're dead."

"Kill you? How?" Tsukauchi rhetorically asked, his expression relaxed due to his experience in the field, "He gave us a demonstration... of what happens to those who defy him. It was some lackey who surrendered to the police. They were killed soon after leaving prison... so they couldn't escape him."

"Wherever we run, he'll find us..." his father cried once more, tremendous fear rising in his voice by the second, "... and make us face our doom!! Yuga had no way of knowing what would happen each time he allowed those orders!! He only knew that he mustn't fall under suspicion! We're the ones to blame!!"
